How many type of Thai massage ?

What is deep tissue massage ?
Deep tissue techniques are generally designed for more focused massage work. Working a specific joint , muscle or muscle group, the practitioner can access deeper
layers of the soft tissue . Starting superficially and easing into the depth of the muscle
slowly often allows more movement. If the pressure is applied too deeply or too quickly,
the muscle may tighten to protect that area, and unnecessary damage or inflammation
can be induced. Very little lubricant is used as the pressure doesn't travel much over
the skin.The most commonly used ' tools ' during deep tissue massage may include, 3
and 6 fingers, reinforced fingers, knuckles, a flat elbow , opposing thumbs , the heel of
the hand or foot, and the forearm.

How often should I get massage ?
Most of us would get massages almost daily if we could afford the time and money .
Many of the effects of massage are cumulative,adding up over time.Most people whowant
to make massage a regular part of their health maintenance will get massages every 1–6
weeks. Others just come in when they have the time. We never pressure people to come more often than they want – we believe that it is your responsibility to determine your own
needs,and we would never want you to feel guilty for coming less often than we recommend.
For acute problems, like overwork or muscle spasms, you may want to come weekly
or even more often for a series . If you are in pain, you should always feel more relaxed
after the massage, although the pain may linger a while . The massage itself, especially if deep , can cause some inflammation . It may be a day or 2 for this to subside and you to
feel better.
For chronic problems , general massage may relax you and release the muscular tensions that make it worse . Obviously , massage won’t prevent pain from structural or
neurological causes like herniated disks or diabetic neuropathy from returning.
But when pain causes us to tense muscles,we begin a pain-spasm cycle gets worse and worse. Massage can help break that cycle. Some of us are trained to work with postural
assessment to help you learn more efficient ways of using your body so as to minimize
additional stresses.
