Introducing Fran Ray's Thai Massage and Yoga

Fran Ray Thai massage is suitable for all ages and abilities. It can be used as a physical therapy to aid in the increase of range of motion and muscular strength. Fran Ray Thai massage increases circulation, flexibility and muscle tone. It can play a crucial role in repairing damaged tissue from overworked muscles, fatigue, strains and sprains. The blend of acupressure and stretching is especially beneficial for those who find themselves stiff, sore, and tired from overexertion in work or sports, or from arthritis affecting mobility. Fran Ray Thai massage helps recapture lost range of motion. Encouraging lymphatic function, this therapeutic deep tissue massage promotes detoxification of the body, boosts the immune system, and prevents injury by increasing flexibility.

Thai massage is the perfect complement to any exercise routine. Athletes go on to perform better than they ever did at their game. This is because Thai Yoga massage utilizes dynamic stretching and rocking of the body in a variety of ways. Muscles are properly awoken and stretched out, the body is warmed up and ready to go. Dynamic stretching stretches tight areas without ever stopping. The body is moved into and out of stretches repetitively until you loosen up. People repeatedly report feeling calm in the mind, but rejuvenated in their body.

Practiced in Thailand for many centuries, Thai massage is akin to Ayurvedic principles originating in India. Thai massage incorporates compression, acupressure, energy meridian work, and yoga-like stretches. An elaborate web of 72,000 energy meridians (sen) vitalize the physical body and connect the acupressure points. This stimulates and calms the your mind and body to promote the body’s natural healing. Rather than being seen as body-work, in Thailand Thai massage is considered energy work. Typically the therapist follows this complex network of sen throughout the body, instead of being gauged by anatomical structures and physiological principles. Yoga-like stretches are favored first for their energetic effects, then for their ability to improve flexibility and strength.

Wearing loose clothing that enables you to be stretched comfortably as you are progressed through a range of postures, on a mat, on the floor. Thai massage therapists utilize more parts of their body than in other massage modalities, incorporating use of their thumbs, palms, elbow, forearm, knees, and feet. By virtue of its close connection to Buddhism, Thai massage embodies the Four Divine States of Mind of Buddhism; Compassion, Loving Kindness, Joy, and Equanimity. It is with this grace Fran Ray Thai massage is given.
