Thai Massage Therapy in Dubai

An ancient massage technique that has withstood the test of time, Thai massage has been practised across Asia for over 2,500 years. During that time, it has been developed and refined by incorporating healing principles from several schools of healing, including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Unlike most massage techniques, Thai massages do not involve rubbing oils into one’s skin and kneading pressure points to remove the latent effects of stress on one’s muscles. The recipient of a Thai massage is not expected to simply lie down and wait patiently as the massage is performed- they are an active participant in the massage, as their muscles are stretched and their body is rocked

Thai massages are performed through a series of movements that stretch the muscles and rock body in order to relieve the tension within the muscles and relax the body. Thai massage is considered to be assisted yoga by many, as the stretching exercises that are performed on the body are derivatives of Ayurvedic principles (which is considered to be a sister science to Yoga, as they both are derived from the knowledge of the Vedas).

How Thai Massage Therapy Works

Thai massage combines the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda to create a rounded technique focused on the circulatory system within the body.

As laid out under the principle tenets of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body is made up of many energy pathways, and the energy flowing through these pathways is critical to one’s well-being. Illness and disease are often simply byproducts of blockages to one’s energy pathways that manifest themselves in the symptoms that are considered by Western medicine to be the root cause of a disease or illness.

In order to increase or stimulate the flow of energy throughout the body, practitioners of Thai massage use pulling, rocking and stretching motions to clear the energy channels within the body, promote circulation and improve flexibility, all while relaxing the mind and body.

Benefits of Thai Massage in Dubai

Thai massage offers several benefits, which include:

1.Reduces Back Pain- Over the years, Thai massage has become a proven means to reduce or completely rid oneself of back pain. The yoga-like movements, according to those who received the treatment on a regular basis, are especially helpful in getting rid of back pain associated with trigger points, such as a tight or painful cluster of muscles, as they stretch those muscles through the range of movements applied by the therapist, thus reducing the tightness and tension within the muscle groups.

2.Boosts Energy Levels- Thai massage has been known to boost the energy levels of those who receive the massage, which is not altogether surprising, given that massage practitioners focus on the energy channels within the body to clear blockages in energy channels and tightness in muscles (which are both linked, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine).

In a randomized trial that was conducted on a group of people experiencing fatigue, half the group was given a Thai massage, while the other half was given a Swedish massage. The result was that those who received the Thai massage reported increased energy and mental stimulation, while those who received the Swedish massage reported better sleep quality and relaxation.

3.Gets Rid of Headaches- Over the years, Thai massage has proven to be a major boon for those experiencing migraines and tension headaches. Depending on the severity of one’s headaches, Thai massage either helps reduce the pain, or removes it completely. There are several reasons for this, but the primary reason attributed for this effect is believed to be the improved circulation within the body after one receives a Thai massage.

4.Promotes Flexibility- Thai massage also offers several benefits for athletes, as it offers them the chance to undo the effects of working out on the body. While working out is extremely beneficial for the body, there is no doubt that it places an incredible level of stress on our muscles, organs and bones. That is why every trainer will harp on the importance of one’s recovery post-workout. When we work out, the muscle groups that are exercised often become tighter and more compact, which is not necessarily desirable, as it can increase the risk of injury.

Thai massage, through it’s yoga-like range of movements, allows athletes the opportunity to undo the effects of their workout, stretching their muscles and increasing their range of motion. This reduces the risk of injury and also allows the athlete the opportunity to go into his or her next workout loose and limbered up.

At Yinyang, we offer Thai Massage Therapy at our branches in JBR, Village Mall, Beach Centre and Al Safa in Dubai. Book your appointment today and see the benefits for yourself!

Acupressure, Traditional Chinese Medicine

What can Acupuncture be used for?

Acupuncture, which is considered to be a specialisation within the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine, can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions. It is governed by a complex set of principles, which we covered in part 1 of our Acupuncture Series. To explain it in the simplest possible terms, acupuncture works by inserting needles into the uppermost layers of the skin on specific points, sometimes referred to as acupoints. The acupoints are chosen based on symptoms and desired effects, and work by correcting the body’s energy flow and releasing hormones and endorphins that stimulate recovery.

Acupuncture has grown in popularity across the world for a variety of reasons over the past few years. Two of the most prominent reasons for the growth of acupuncture are the fact that its efficacy is now endorsed by several scientific studies, and the number of high-profile athletes and celebrities who use it to combat a variety of conditions. There has been a growing trend wherein individuals who rely on their bodies physical well-being and recovery processes in order to perform at the highest level in a variety of sports and other disciplines have incorporated acupuncture into their routines as they believe it puts them in the best possible physical shape.

However, before we delve into who uses acupuncture, we must first understand what acupuncture can be used for. Acupuncture is an extremely versatile treatment that can be applied to a number of different conditions. Since the treatments focus on energy flow and sensitive “acupoints” across the body, the area that receives the acupressure treatment isn’t necessarily the same as the area on the body where the problem is considered to have originated.

This goes to the very root of acupressure theory- take the example of an individual suffering from chronic back pack pain. Practitioners of Western medicine would study the back closely using x-rays and other procedures to provide imaging of the spine in order to try and identify the problem. Acupressure, on the other hand, would examine the body as a whole. Traditional Chinese Medicine posits that a blockage in the body’s energy flow could be caused by a variety of factors, such as stress, lack of sleep, lack of physical activity, decadent lifestyle and many others. The acupuncture corrects the energy blockage, which in turn helps to reduce stress or lack of sleep (depending on each individual’s need), which ultimately helps in getting rid of the back pain.

Below are a list of the most common conditions that people turn to acupuncture for help with:

1. Pain Relief

2. Chemotherapy-induced and postoperative nausea and vomiting

3. Dental pain

4. Headaches, including tension headaches and migraines

5. Muscle Recovery

6. Labor pain

7. Low back pain

8. Neck pain

9. Osteoarthritis

10. Menstrual cramps

11. Respiratory disorders, such as allergic rhinitis

Much like cupping therapy, acupuncture has been gaining more and more traction amongst professional athletes as sports science and medicine advances and we understand the importance of the recovery process and with the advent of social media. Social media has allowed athletes to share parts of their training and recovery processes with the world, and that has raised the profile of therapies and treatment methods that may have been considered as “alternative medicine” in the past.

The late Kobe Bryant, for example, showcased his rehabilitation from injury on his second day on Twitter, way back in 2013. The procedure he happened to showcase? Acupuncture! Several olympic athletes who have won medals, such as Amy Acuff, Dee Dee Trotter, Mark Mcmorris and Yin Jian, swear by the restorative properties of acupuncture and have done so for years. Celebrities like Robert Downey Jr, Natalie Portman, Celine Dion and Julianne Moore have been huge proponents of acupuncture, whether for muscle recovery, cosmetic procedures or other reason.

All of this has helped raise the profile of acupuncture all around the world, and turned it into an accepted treatment option. Acupuncture has many health benefits, including healing and recovery, sports performance, stress management, weight loss and promoting overall wellness. It can also help achieve cosmetic benefits such as younger-looking skin through facial acupuncture. So if you’re looking for a holistic remedy for whatever you may be dealing with, consider giving acupuncture a chance.

Acupressure, Traditional Chinese Medicine

How Acupuncture Therapy Works

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a subject that covers within it a vast array of subjects, such as cupping, reflexology, herbal medicine, and acupuncture. Acupuncture is one of the most popular forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with millions of people around the world swearing by its healing and restorative properties.

What is acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the most widely known disciplines of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which focus on stimulating the nerves of the body through minimally invasive methods. It can be used in the treatment of a variety of conditions, ranging from depression to allergies to muscle cramps and morning sickness. To understand how acupuncture helps with such a variety of conditions, one must first understand the concept of qi.

What is Qi?

Qi (Pronounced “Chee”) is one of the foundational principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. A person’s qi is the flow of energy throughout their body, across the various pathways of the human body. If these energy pathways within the body are blocked, or the energy is flowing incorrectly within the body, it can lead to illnesses that manifest within the body.

Proponents of Traditional Chinese Medicine have likened this to studies conducted by experts in Western medicine who correlate one’s mental and emotional state well-being with physical health and rate of recovery. There have been several studies that link ulcers, hemorrhoids and other physical illnesses to one’s emotional and mental state, which is also considered by many experts to be linked to one’s qi.

How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture began as a pain remedy in ancient China, but as scholars began to study its properties and effects, it began to be used to treat a whole host of conditions. To this day, scholars are discovering new uses and applications for the technique as we as a society learn more about wellness and its importance from a health perspective.

Acupuncture is performed by inserting very thin needles through the upper layers of the skin at strategic points across the body. Acupuncture is used to balance the flow of energy or qi through the pathways (also known as meridians) within one’s body. By inserting the needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners seek to rebalance the flow of energy within the body. According to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is the incorrect energy flow that caused the illness to arise and correcting that flow will have the consequence of treating the illness as the energy within the body is once more in harmony

Given acupuncture’s rise in popularity across the West over the last few decades, many medical professionals have sought to reconcile the principles of acupressure with the commonly accepted principles of Western medicine, linking the practice of acupuncture to nerve stimulation rather than energy flow. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body’s natural painkillers, through the stimulation of nerves, connective tissue and muscles. The prevailing consensus, however, has most definitely shifted from skepticism to acceptance over the last few decades.

What to expect from an Acupuncture Treatment

An acupuncture treatment is very different from massage therapy- a large part of the initial sessions are spent discussing the symptoms and providing other health-related information that is relevant from a treatment perspective. The treatments are prepared taking into account the unique circumstances and symptoms of each patient, which makes this process critical. Only a small part of the session requires the needles to be in the skin, and that is also moderated based on pain threshold, comfort and other factors.

There is no universal response to acupressure treatments- each body is, after all, unique. Some feel refreshed, others feel tired. Some experience relief, others initially experience a certain amount of discomfort. The time span it takes for the treatment to have a noticeable effect also differs from person to person.

If you are in any doubt at all as to the effects that the session may have, always clarify them with your therapist prior to commencing treatment.

Wishing You a Happy Chinese New Year!

The start of the new year according to the Chinese calendar, also known as the Spring Festival, is a momentous occasion. This year, it falls on January 25th, with the festival carrying on for the next two weeks, till 8th February. The new year begins on the first day of the new moon that falls between the 21st of January and 20th of February, which happens to be January 25th this year. The reason for this is that the lunar month containing the winter solstice is considered to be the 11th month of the Chinese Year.

The upcoming year according to the Chinese calendar is the Year of the Yang Metal Rat. It is fairly commonly known that Chinese years are named after one of the 12 animals of the zodiac, namely the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. What is not as commonly known is that there is a 10-year cycle of heavenly stems. Each of the ten heavenly stems is associated with one of the five elements of Chinese astrology, namely: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. The elements are rotated every two years while a yin and yang association alternates every year. Together, the stem and the zodiac produce a combined naming cycle that repeats every 60 years, meaning the last Year of the Yang Metal Rat occurred in 1960.

The Chinese New Year is celebrated differently across different parts of China. For example, while it is traditional to have a large family dinner with special meats across China, in Northern China it is traditional to eat dumplings around midnight. In Southern China, the tradition is to make a glutinous new year cake and send pieces of the cake as gifts to relatives and friends in the days after the New Year.

There are several ways that you can get in the festive spirit this year in Dubai, such as attending one of the many Hala China events, witnessing the Chinese New festivities at one of the processions throughout the city or even going for a Chinese New Year-themed meal!

The Yinyang team would like to wish everyone a very happy Chinese New Year!
