There are many reasons to visit Bangkok. You may visit for business purposes, or to experience its magnificent architecture, ancient and modern, and its vibrant night life. Bangkok is home to some of the world’s most magnificent buildings, beautiful scenery, and mouth-watering food, but another great reason to visit is that it also provides some of the world’s best massage treatments.
Thai massage has become famous and celebrated across the globe, but whether you want a soothing aromatherapy massage or a traditional Thai massage, Bangkok is the place to be. A great massage also brings a number of benefits for your health, and here are just three of them.
Stress Relief
Whether we live in Bangkok or New York city, or any town or city in the modern world, life moves along at a rapid pace, and that can lead to stress and anxiety. This stress can stop us sleeping at night and impact our appetite and our health as a whole, which is why we should do all we can to avoid or alleviate it.
Meditation is one way to do this, but some people find it hard to meditate. A relaxing aromatherapy massage can be even more effective. The combination of beautiful scents and a perfectly pressured massage can be deeply relaxing, and you’ll feel your mind emptying of all its daily worries. Post-massage, you’ll feel stress-free and happy, and ready to face whatever the world sends your way.
Pain Reduction
As well as being fast-paced, our lives are often sedentary, and we spend long hours behind a desk staring at a screen. The human body wasn’t built for this, which is one reason why increasing numbers of people are suffering from neck, back, and joint pain.
An expert Thai massage Bangkok can work on your problem areas, and it can help to reduce any inflammation that you may have, loosen up knots, and reduce pain. Many people find that their mobility is improved the day after receiving a high-quality massage, and that niggling aches and pains have disappeared.
Improved Immune System
A strong immune system is of vital importance if we want to enjoy good health, but modern society exposes us to lots of germs, bacteria, and viruses. A 2010 study showed that regular massage can heighten the production of lymphocytes; these are the white blood cells which are the cornerstone of our immune system and they fight off disease.
This same study, by expert scientists at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles, California, also showed that a relaxing massage significantly lowers the levels of Arginine Vasopressin, a hormone that has been linked to stress and aggressive behaviour.
Having a massage that’s delivered by a highly trained masseuse makes us feel great, but it also makes a significant contribution to our health and well-being, both physical and mental health. You may also find that you have more energy and that your concentration improves, and these are benefits that can have a positive effect on every aspect of our life.
