After a long day at work or a grueling workout session, one would opt to aid their recovery through going for a massage. However, self massage can do the same (and have a myriad of other benefits!)
What do these benefits include?
- Improved Circulation : Self-massage techniques focus on applying gentle pressure and stretching out your body. This does wonders for your body’s blood flow while boosting circulation within the body.
- Reduced Muscle Tension : Self-massage can aid the easing of muscle tension, especially favorable to individuals who suffer from chronic muscle pain or stiffness.
- Enhanced Flexibility : The focus on stretching and lengthening of muscles would support the limberness and joint mobility.
- Stress Relief : Thai massage can support relaxation which would in turn ease stress levels.
- Improved Energy Flow : Traditional Thai medicine believes in how self-massage supports the levelling of one’s energy flow which is believed to boost one’s sense of vitality and overall well-being.
- Pain Relief : Regularly performing self-massage aids in the minimizing of pain. The enhancement of circulation and the alleviating of stress through self-massage also provides holistic benefits to the body.
- Lastly, it’s cost effective! Rather than regular visits to the massage parlor, self-massage provides you with pampering and relaxation with no cost!
But, how do I learn self-massage?
