Compresses are a traditional heat treatment that can be used in
combination with Thai
Massage or Deep Tissue Massage for a unique warming and
detoxifying treatment. The herbs in the compress possess properties that are anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antioxidant. They enhance usual benefits of massage as blood flow is stimulated, resulting in more rapid rebuilding and nourishing of the body’s tissues. Soaked then steamed to release the beneficial effects and aroma of the herbs, they are applied either on the skin directly or through clothing, using patting and pounding techniques. The warmth relaxes muscles and eases aches & pains, which is useful for any areas sensitive to massage. |
