Why An Oil Massage Is A Different Kind Of Treatment

Why An Oil Massage Is A Different Kind Of Treatment POSTED BY ADMIN | massage | 15 Jan

The Thai oil massage is frequently taught as an oil massage course linked to the understanding and application of the traditional Thai Massage. The Thai oil massage involves a gentler pressure, being graded as a medium to firm treatment and is often considered as more soothing and relaxing than the usual Thai massage which can be quite robust. Sometimes the therapist may suggest the addition of aromatic oils to the base oil or carrier oil. Either way, the oils used aid the movements of the therapist as her hands glide smoothly across the body. Many find that this choice of massage provides a more luxurious and pampering experience.

Enjoying your oil massage and the procedures involved

In a Thai oil massage,the clients undress to their under wearandare draped with towels. The fully trained massage therapist applies the oil directly onto the skin and begins the treatment with smooth, rhythmic movements which allows the oils to be thoroughly absorbed into the skin.This both enhances the therapeutic benefits and also allows the oil to nourish the skin. Making this treatment beneficial in restoring a sense of relaxation, the easing of stress and tension,and minor aches, together with a truly pampering session. Resulting in a synergising effect that brings the client both the physical and the mental well-being that allows for complete relaxation. Following an oil massage, the body enters a state of heightened relaxation and rejuvenation.

Looking at the double benefits

The repeated actions of the long strokes given by these specially trained therapists, increases both blood circulation and lymphatic drainage which encourages the removal of bodily toxins. But of course, also help in gthose tense muscles to relax and reducing any inflammation which has been causing pain.This side of the massage leads to an overall sense of well-beingwithin the client. Alongside these benefits, the skin itself is nourished by the oils used which are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. These are allowed to penetrate deep into the skin, and at the end of the massage clients will perhaps wish to just wipe away any excess oil, but leave the majority to do its work if possible, making the skin feel soft and supple.
