Here is another technique for accessing the levator scapulae and muscles along either side of the neck. You minimize hand work and effectively stretch the cervical musculature. This combined with the previous video make for a solid Thai massage for the neck.
People with headaches, neck pain, upper back pain and excess tension in their neck and shoulders can benefit from these techniques. Share them with family and friends.
This is a simple, easy to use Thai massage technique for family and friends. Those who just took my Thai massage class around Austin will notice that this is done seated. We learn the seated series in the Thai massage certification track. You’re pressing into the posterior neck muscles and those with headaches, TMJ dysfunction or chronic neck pain will love you for doing this to them. Try it at a party around Austin, you’ll make many friends.
This video adds to what we’ve done earlier and includes a soft rock to open the hips. Thai massage involves lots of stretching of the hamstrings and musculature around the base of the spine and pelvic bowl. Long term this creates flexibility and strength in the musculature to respond to changes while being active.
Whether you’re a runner in north Austin, Texas a soccer mom in Round Rock or practice acro yoga in south Austin, Thai massage can help you get where you need to be physically.
Use this and the information from my other thai massage video for friends with low back pain. Using the feet to open the hamstrings saves your hands and allows you to apply a broad firm pressure. Always feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re working.
If you’re in Austin, contact me to get a thai massage. You won’t regret it. Invest in yourself and your body.
This video shows a stretch for the hamstrings and piriformis that’s good for low back or hip pain. If your loved one is complaining about low back issues try this one out. It’s extremely simple but very effective for lumbar spine problems. The musculature of the gluteals and piriformis form a tight grip on the sacrum and if it’s pulled out of alignment low back pain is common. I’ll be posting more of these that you can add together as a small routine. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Thai massage doesn’t seem extremely common in Austin and I hope to change that. The more the public is aware of what it is and the differences it has from table massage, the better off we’ll all be.
