That said, you don't really need to take a painkiller, instead, ask your massage therapist to press on your acupressure point, or any reflex point in your body, at least 5 seconds with sustain medium pressure, that is giving your body a release on its knots on the muscle, thus a more relaxed body!


IMMUNITY SYSTEM BOOSTER

Believe it or not, massage not only improves blood circulation, it also changes the recipient's blood composition. For example, after a 1-hour Thai Massage treatment, he or she will have a higher level of blood protein which is a very important factor in body defence toward tumor, virus and pathogens.
