What is Traditional Thai Massage? Here are the 6 Benefits for Desk Workers

Maybe we are all adjusted to the new normal in the midst of a pandemic, but what about our body?

Most of us are still dealing with emotional and physical stress daily, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who are working from home or at the office tend to accumulate more stress than average due to the repetitive nature of their jobs, such as sitting, typing, and talking on the phone, and can all contribute to sore, stiff muscles, headaches, and serious health issues in the long term. Today is the day for you to start the ultimate self-care with Buri Spa at Midtown NYC. One of the massages we offer, traditional Thai massage, is a great way to relieve those stress and physical tension and start a healthy wellness life. It is a combination of acupressure and assisted yoga practices to stimulate your body’s healing power and overall wellness. But how is it different from Swedish massage or other Asian spas? Here are the 6 benefits you can get from this ancient massage technique.

Releases Joint Tension

Desk work limits your mobility, and it makes your body tense up. The repetitive typing will also make your body tense and cause a lot of stress without realizing it, which is why you need to incorporate Thai massage regularly to release these tensions. Our experienced practitioners use their thumbs, forearms, palms, elbows, knees, and feet to move along your body during the massage. Each movement is used to open the joints, release muscle tension, soothe tendons, and improve your body’s flexibility over time. Your body will feel relaxed and rejuvenated afterward. Of course, the bodily sensations are part of the result — total rejuvenation and mental well-being. Feel free to communicate with our practitioner before the massage begins and tell them what kind of pain you are experiencing. This will help practitioners to target the area and help with joint tension and pain.

Let’s face it, work in any industry can be stressful. Whether you work in an office in the city, you teach at one of the public schools, or you’re a server at a restaurant, it can be hard to leave the stresses of work at work when you leave for the day. As a result, it’s incredibly easy to let your stress and anxiety levels build up, which can make it difficult to relax at the end of the day. Stress can cause you to lose sleep, eat poorly, and can even manifest in physical tension that affects your muscles and joints, causing pain and a number of other symptoms.

Five Ways to Relax After a Stressful Day at Work

Today, your trusted massage therapists at Buri Spa will share five self-care methods to help you relax, unwind, and de-stress after a hard day at work. If you’re ready to experience complete relaxation for the body and mind, contact us to schedule a massage in Koreatown. In the meantime, here are some tips for you to consider.

Stretch It Out

When you get stressed, the tissues in your body often respond by becoming tight and tense. As a result, you may experience pain and discomfort that can limit your range of motion and cause areas such as your neck, back, and shoulders to feel locked up. That’s why stretching is one of the best self-care methods for relaxing after a stressful day. Something as simple as lightly stretching your neck by dropping your head towards your chest and rolling your head gently from side-to-side can ease neck tension.
