Christine Kirby, Registered Thai Therapist
What better way to health than to spend an hour of your time having a massage? In Thailand you can have a Thai Yoga Massage or a Thai Foot Massage for health; it is not an act of pure self-indulgence to be accompanied by a feeling of guilt (although it does feel wonderful), but a complete and holistic treatment for your mind, body and spirit.
Thai Massage has been found to improve circulation, joint range-of-motion and flexibility. It can reduce many common ailments such as stress, muscle tightness, aches and pains - even anxiety and depression.
