The ‘best’ time to have a massage can depend on a range of things,
though if you ask us…we’d say ANY time is the best time for a massage!
But if we’re attempting to look at
this objectively, the best time to
have a massage is influenced by
your overall goals for a session, if
you have other activities planned,
if it’s the start or end of the week,
whether or not you have a
workout (or some physical activity
planned) or for some of us if we
have some kind of performance
or event coming up.
Your Thai Massage session
really be aimed at any number
of desired outcomes ranging
from easing mental stress,
to encouraging mobility in
chronically stiff areas. In these
situations and for most massage
treatments in general, sessions
are often done at a time when
you have no strenuous activities
planned for the remainder of the
day. It’s not that you shouldn’t
necessarily work-out after a
treatment, it’s more that you
probably won’t feel like doing
a whole lot. That’s because a
chief intention in our work is to
choose Thai Yoga postures and
techniques that bring about a
profoundly deep sense of release.
We aim to encourage your body
and mind to completely relax.
Though, on the other side of the
coin, there are also times when
Thai massage can be used to help
prepare your body for physical
activity. Depending on the
techniques used it can help with
mobility and the preparedness
of your soft-tissues for your best
possible performance.
