Thai Yoga Massage, the traditional bodywork treatment that combines the stretching of assisted yoga with compression massage, acupressure and energy work is the perfect tool for helping to heal from injury.
When we are injured, more than just the immediate area of injury can be effected. It isn't unusual for referred pain to cause soreness, tightness or loss of function in other parts of the body. The protective fascia covering all muscles, organs, bones, etc. can become bound up and tight not just in the area of injury, but thru the entire body. For example, a shoulder injury which causes the shoulder to round forward, then the chest to concave forward, then the lower back to flatten, then hamstrings to tighten which can result in soreness or even pain in an ankle or knee, or anywhere else along that chain or another kinetic chain.
Thai Yoga Massage is the perfect solution to regain movement and ease thru the entire body after an injury. One key goal of Thai Yoga Massage is to manipulate every joint in the body and move or massage all key muscles. By moving all the joints and muscles and fascia, the connective tissue, nerves, veins, lymph vessels and fascia also get stretched, pressed and manipulated. With extra space introduced into the fascia and muscles, the body can regain it's original structure. Additionally, Thai Yoga Massage increases blood flow thru the entire body, and re-orients the nervous system helping your body regain homeostasis.
For hundreds of years, people in southeast Asia sought healing in temples where they would have Thai Yoga Massage performed on them until they felt better. Thai Yoga Massage is such a complete form of body work, it was traditionally used for all types of physical injuries, traumas, diseases and imbalances. In modern America, are lucky to be able to borrow from their wisdom and apply this comprehensive form of restorative bodywork to help us heal from injuries.
