Stretching + Thai Massage
Stretching can help you feel better
Instead, you will remain fully clothed and will lay down on a comfortable mat on the ground while a practitioner uses stretching, pulling, and rocking techniques to relieve tension, promote relaxation, and improve flexibility and circulation.
This modality primarily focuses on improving overall movement of the flow of energy throughout your body.
What are the benefits of Stretching?
Most of us don’t understand pain, but we all experience it. The Western medical system generally sees pain as a sign of something broken that needs fixing—as a manifestation of injury or disease, an inevitable consequence of damaged tissues. This pathology model of pain is both thoroughly inculcated into popular thinking and unfortunately wrong in a high percentage of cases. Even when medical imaging shows departures from “normal” in body tissues, the widespread assumption that those findings are the cause of pain denies the insights of trigger point theory and modern neuroscience, and leads to ineffective treatments, unnecessary interventions, and disturbed, even ruined, lives.
Stretching interrupts these peripheral danger signals using highly effective manual therapy techniques to remove trigger points. These techniques exploit the brain’s neuroplasticity by providing an experience of pain-free movement.
