The benefits of a Thai massage are numerous. The specific focus is on areas of the body that other massages tend to neglect. The adductor muscles of the inner thigh are targeted, as are the abdominal and rib cage muscles. The anterior trunk is also addressed. During the massage, these muscles are loosened. If these muscles are not relaxed, the patient may suffer from back pain. The added benefits of a Thai masseuse's work include relaxation and relief from muscular tension.

The massage is highly effective, and it is highly recommended for anyone who suffers from pain in the neck and shoulders. Because it is such a high-impact treatment, you will experience some muscle soreness afterward. This is normal, but it's also beneficial for those who don't have a lot of time to spend getting a massage. General home painkillers can help reduce the soreness, which usually disappears within one or two days.
