Lydia Moneyhun is the massage therapist at Balanced You Clinic. She offers a few types of massage services, including ashiatsu style massage and Thai massage. Lydia tells us more about Thai Massage – You may feel like this is the right style of massage for you, or be interested in trying something new!
- What does a Thai Massage session with you look like? It’s a 90 minute session, and the client is fully clothed in something comfortable, stretchy. Thai massage is very slow, and consists of a lot of compressions on tight areas. And, of course, slow, passive stretching! I describe it as “Yoga being done to you!”
- What are the benefits of Thai massage? Thai is great to open up tight joints since it has that mixture of stretching with the compressions.
- How can a Thai Massage session help to support folks during the summer season? Since people tend to be more active in the summer and go to places where they might walk more, or on different terrains that are hard on our body, i.e. the beach, mountains, etc, Thai can be a great way to release those muscles! It can open up those knees and hips that are most affected by all these fun activities! Also it is a very slow modality, but it incorporates a good amount of rocking the body, which can release a lot of excess energy that builds up in us, easing stress and tension!
