Recently I had an opportunity to practice Thai massage on a client who was eager to try this modality. She was in the midst of a detox regimen and had also started a new exercise program and was experiencing some discomfort. I suggested a session because Thai massage can help detoxify the body and strengthen the immune system by encouraging lymphatic function and blood circulation. Thai massage would also be helpful in alleviating her muscle soreness.
