Health benefits of thai massage to athletes

Sports men and women all over the world receive massages. Day in day out, people request to receive massages during, before and after activities. What actually do they get from it?

In a rare interview with Yaw Tutu, the CEO and founder of 1touch Thai massage and holistic center, Caroline delves into this on Kwese tv.

1Touch Thai massage offers different forms of massages but Yaw Tutu mentioned that 1Touch specializes in Thai massage due to its flexibility and the ability to have it anywhere, anytime without the need of oil. Many people have been wondering if Thai massage is the same as yoga.

Actually, it is not the same as yoga but it is yoga related. He stated that this is due to the positions, stretching and compression. Usually people use oil to get to the deep tissues but Thai massage makes it better because you can have a good massage without applying oil and the person will still feel it to the depth they need.

Did you know that sitting causes lower back problems and is an endurance sport? Here is what Yaw Tutu had to say: “Actually, sitting is an endurance sport and most people don’t realize that, because, with so much weight going on one spot for a lengthy period of time, that's endurance.”

The good thing is Thai massage relieves this back problem and it relieves you from mental stress. More importantly, Thai massage is essential when the topic of sports is brought up.

It addresses both pre, during and after the game. For example, sports such as tennis, soccer etc. require a lot of hand and leg movements. During these games, you need to make sure your muscles contract and relax.

When you work out for a long time, your muscles stay in a constant contractile state and can become unable to perform well affecting performance negatively. For an outstanding performance during games and relaxed muscles afterward, an athlete need a massage from 1touch Thai Massage to prevent complications and promote good performance.

“It’s not expensive to get a Thai massage. Aside the fact that it’s not expensive, it doesn’t take long. I mean, you can have a Thai massage which lasts 15 minutes. The ordinary person should have a massage at least once a week. Basically we all are under stress through the movements we perform such as sitting and standing for long periods without a break or stretching. Thai massage relieves the stress caused by this lifestyle”, Yaw Tutu concluded.

Be sure to receive a Thai massage regularly since it is extremely healthy and relaxing. 1touch Thai massage and holistic center is the place to experience the 1Touch that changes your life.
