Thai Deep Tissue Chair Massage

Deep tissue is a particular form of massage therapy that focusses on the inner, deeper layers of muscle in the body. Deep finger pressure and slow firm movements are used to provide a proven and effective method, to relieve pain and stress,and in the process, provides many other medical benefits. With the chair massage therapy, the patient normally remains fully clothed and sits in a specially designed massage chair. The massage focuses on the back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands and head. Sessions are generally short and range from 15 minutes to 1 hour, making this massage a convenient option during a lunch break or at any other free time during the day. The procedure offers a quick release from stress, reduces soreness, unlocks energy, clears away tiredness and leaves the patient feeling refreshed and revitalized.

The Many Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

Many studies conducted over the years have proven the efficacy of deep tissue massage in relieving various types of medical conditions.

• A research conducted by the University of Maryland Medical Center, surmises that the deep tissue massage therapy significantly helps drop blood pressure in the system, because of the way it reduces stress and tension in the body.
• The same university also opines that deep tissue massage is more efficacious in alleviating chronic pain than traditional medications. This is because the massage escalates the blood flow through the body and by doing so it decreases the inflammation, the latter being the major reason for the pain. Muscle tension, which is another cause for pain, is also remedied, with this type of massage.
• It helps in the repair and recovery of injured muscles. The massage also assists the movement of toxins away from any injuries and so speeds up healing. The resulting reduction in pain is a major reason why this type of massage is used to treat sports injuries.
• Over time the accumulation of scar tissue in the body can cause extended periods of muscle pain and stiffness. Deep tissue Thai massage improves the functioning of the lymphatic system which causes the scar tissue to break up and eventually be flushed out of the body resulting in a significant reduction of pain and stiffness.
• Stress and tension are common factors in modern life. A Thai deep tissue chair massage which focusses on the head, neck and shoulders will loosen the muscles and relieve the tension and stress quickly and tangibly.

How effective a massage is depends on both the type of massage and the skill of the person giving it. Because of its effectiveness Thai massage has grown in popularity over the years and the number of spas offering this service are booming. However, not all have the required training and certification to offer a real Thai massage experience – the kind that offers true benefits to the body, mind and spirit. The best Thai massages, whether the chair type or something else, can only be given by a therapist certified by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Body Work (NCBTMB) with special training in  Thai Massage and the related areas of Reflexology, Facial Massage, Herbal Compress, Tok-sen and Hot Stone Massage.
