Thai Yoga Massage: The health benefits of Thai Yoga Massage include lowering stress, boosting energy, and improving athletic performance. Using gentle pressure on acupressure points & meridian lines accompanied by stretching techniques to ease stress in the body, it is an ancient healing practice that originated in India 2,500–7,000 years ago. It helps to stimulate the somatosensory system, a system that plays a major role in the conscious perception of touch, pressure, pain, temperature, position, movement, and vibration, which arise from the muscles, joints, skin, and fascia.
Unlike most western massage techniques, in which a person passively lies on a treatment couch, the client lies on the floor and passively participates in the massage.
