Thai foot massage can be helpful for diabetic foot health.  And what about Thai body massage to deal with trauma?

Research carried out at Khon Kaen University in Thailand found in a randomized trial that patients receiving even a single session showed positive results.  And patients receiving a standard session for only 30 minutes, three times a week for two weeks continued to outperform results from conventional drug based treatments.

Sixty patients with type-2 diabetes were recruited and randomly assigned into either the Thai foot massage or control groups. The Thai foot massage group received a modified Thai traditional foot massage for 30 min, 3 days per week for 2 weeks.  Amongst other indicators foot sensation was tested before treatment, after the first single session, and after the 2-week treatment. 

The Thai foot massage group showed significant improvements after the 2-week treatment period and the research concluded that Thai foot massage is a viable alternative treatment for diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy.

And Thai foot massage is a lovely treatment for everyone, not just those suffering with or worried about peripheral neuropathy.  Benefits include improved circulation in legs and feet, stimulation of lymphatic drainage, removal of toxins, an immune system boost and detoxification, reduction in stiffness and improvement in joint flexibility, stress relief, improved sleep and total relaxation!

And while we're on the subject of eastern approaches, did you know that Thai massage can be really helpful for pain relief?

Trauma can be 'trapped' in the body, whether it be physical or emotional trauma? When you think back to when an ailment first started, there is often a link to a physical or emotional trauma.  And trauma or shock is different for everyone.

Be it emotional stress that at first we thought we could manage, or something more physical like an accident or injury. And then after that trauma you are likely to have a reaction or after effect of some sort. It could happen soon after or take longer to manifest or for you to notice it.

For some this can even lead to something more severe.  I have a client who has an ME diagnosis following a bout of glandular fever, and another whose fibromyalgia symptoms started after she lost a relative she was very close to.

Thai massage, which uses yoga-like facilitated stretching, can be a great form of treatment. Using deep compression work and assisted movement and massage it is invigorating and leaves you feeling full of beans. Moving the whole body is a great way to remind the brain that you are still connected. Thai massage is also carried out fully clothed so you will stay warm and comfortable.
