Thai massage therapy and treatment

Are you suffering from pain, then why not try an alternative to NHS or Western style treatments? Thai massage therapy is a solution for patients with many types of sports injuries and common conditions such as back pain.

Graham Mercati of the BODYHARMONICS Clinic is an accomplished therapist and expert in modern Thai bodywork techniques, still essentially the same as those practised for over one thousand years.

Thai is based on yogic principles, but unlike the Chinese system it lacks a sophisticated theoretical background. Like Chinese massage (Tui Na), it is concerned with the intrinsic energies and their balance.

Thai massage and sports injuries

Most sports injuries involve damage to muscle fibres, myofascia or tendons and they are commonly caused by overuse of muscles that are not functionally balanced with other muscles in their group and with their antagonists.

Thai massage therapy enables every individual muscle to assume its normal relaxed length when not contracting.

When injury does occur the controlled stretches and manipulations in Thai massage have an unrivalled ability to speed healing and restore pain-free function compared with Western Sports Massage.

Sports Thai Massage provides maintenance that muscles need, improving performance by reducing the risk of injury for athletes and dancers during their training.
