Thai massage has been shown to ease muscle<br />
soreness and joint pain. The use of pressure, stretching<br />
and kneading on the body is proven to release muscle<br />
tension and enhance flexibility. Other benefits include<br />
improved blood circulation, reduction in stress, anxiety<br />
relief, and an increase in energy levels.<br />
A Thai massage can be taken one step further with<br />
the use of Luk Pra Kob. Luk Pra Kob is the pressing<br />
of an herbal st<strong>amp</strong> on the body for the purpose<br />
alleviating muscular pain and exfoliating skin.<br />
The st<strong>amp</strong> is made up of a blend of herbs<br />
which are wrapped in unbleached cotton<br />
and heated in a steamer. The hot compress<br />
is then applied to the body. The heat releases<br />
the essential oils of the medicinal herbs<br />
inside the st<strong>amp</strong>, allowing them to penetrate<br />
the skin. It is recommended not to shower for<br />
a few hours after the treatment in order to fully<br />
maximise the benefits of the herbal oils.<br />
