Thai Massage has been known for its dynamic stretches, since becoming popular in the United States in the 1990s. It looks more like yoga than what we in the west consider to be massage therapy. In fact, it is often called, “lazy man’s yoga”. While people tend to flock towards Thai Massage to help with their flexibility, this ancient modality is way more than just stretching. Here are five other reasons why Thai Massage is one of the best healing modalities you should make a part of your self-care arsenal.
