Every woman dreams of being slim!
And he asks himself - how to do this?

You can talk and write a lot about cosmetic preparations for weight loss and reducing the appearance of cellulite, but every client and master understands that without an appropriate massage in the salon from an experienced and competent specialist, the result can be achieved very, very slowly.
If we want to get a quick result, we want the skin to tighten, change the relief, and the figure change the contours, then we need a deep massage aimed at working with the muscles, the lymphatic system and, of course, the subcutaneous fat layer.
Often, mastery of one modeling massage technique is not sufficient to obtain a pronounced lasting result. Moreover, the skill of a figure correction specialist is determined by his ability to navigate the techniques and select for each client an individual program that is optimal in terms of effectiveness. Without a doubt, there are now dozens of methods on the beauty market that work in this direction. Diet therapy, mesotherapy and hardware cosmetology are widely used, but various manual massage techniques are still effective and in demand in figure modeling programs.

You will even be able to feel pleasant fatigue in your muscles the next day - soreness. Slim massage therapists can work both with the entire body and with individual, problematic parts of it - for example, buttocks, abdomen, arms or legs.

One of the secrets of the effectiveness of slim massage is the use of a special Thai cream for it - this is a product based on Thai herbs and plant extracts, for example, garcenia pollen, red capsicum and gingko biloba. With the help of this cream, the lymphatic drainage effect of the massage is not only enhanced, but the skin condition itself improves - it becomes smooth and elastic.

IN modern world Among people who watch their figure, healthy and effective Thai slim massage is popular. It is usually used to influence both individual areas of the body and the entire body. This massage is very beneficial.

This massage technique is based on Ayurvedic medicine, yoga and spiritual Buddhist practice. Slim massage came to us from Thai professionals from the Wat Pho church monastery. Today, this procedure is carried out not only by specialists from Asia, but also by massage therapists from Europe - they have perfectly studied all the techniques of this difficult massage technology and they do it perfectly.

One of the main objectives of this Thai slim massage is the treatment and prevention of cellulite. During active massaging of the area with “ orange peel“The activation of blood circulation begins. As a result of such strong blood circulation, the walls of blood vessels are well strengthened, swelling completely disappears, lipid metabolism and metabolism are accelerated. When exposed to this procedure, you can burn fat cells well, and the fat layer will greatly decrease in volume.

The main feature of this massage technique is that the massage therapist works only with some problem areas of the patient, while intensively rubbing special massage oil into them. This procedure often requires patience, but the result is worth it - the feelings after a massage session are the same as after intense physical activity in training.

The client may even feel pleasant fatigue in the joints the next day. Typically, many experienced slim massage therapists work on the abdomen, buttocks, legs or arms. It is on these parts of the body that most often there is a large subcutaneous fat layer. During the session, the person practically does not feel pain. If this slimming technique is performed by an experienced professional, then there will be no unpleasant sensations.

You don't have to worry about it. Slim massage also has a positive effect on the lymphatic drainage system, removing all swelling from the tissues, helping to remove waste and toxins. This technique Thai massage helps to fully intensify activity internal organs and improve blood circulation in the human body.

One of the secrets of the effectiveness of this technique is the use of a special Thai cream made from natural ingredients. The basis of the product is garcenia pollen. This plant produces fragrant mangosteen fruits.

In Thailand it is the “queen of fruits”. The fact is that the substances contained in garzenia fruits have a special and delightful effect on female organisms, promoting eternal youth and beauty. This cream also contains other ingredients.

This includes extracts of gingko biloba, red capsicum, and ginger. These beneficial plants have a good effect on the entire human body. With the help of this cream, not only the lymphatic drainage effect of the massage technique is enhanced, but the skin condition itself improves - it becomes elastic and smooth.

Thai slim massage is a complex, intense technology that requires professional massage therapists and good physical strength. Therefore, it is best to contact experienced specialists who have completed certified, proven courses in training this massage technique for this difficult and lengthy procedure.

The massage therapist must understand this technique very well. When performing a massage, experience matters a lot. If a massage therapist from this area does not know anything, then you can risk lost money and your precious health.

During the procedure, physiotherapists use a special cream that helps enhance the effect. Using massage movements, the cream is “driven” into the skin. The feeling is a little uncomfortable, but, as they say, “beauty requires sacrifice.” The subcutaneous fat layer disappears before our eyes. After several sessions of Thai slim massage, the body adapts, and the sensations turn from uncomfortable to quite pleasant.

With sweat, residual fluid is released from the client’s body, while it is cleansed of unnecessary substances. In addition, slim massage reduces appetite. This complex action helps to reduce body weight and improve the health of the body. The figure becomes slender and graceful. This lengthy process is also facilitated by the use of a special Thai cream made from natural substances, which is intended to burn the subcutaneous layer.

Usually, according to the recommendations of specialists from Thailand, Thai slim massage needs to be done about 2 times a week. Depending on the individual characteristics of the human body and goals, the exact number of such procedures for massage behavior is determined. To obtain an effective and positive result, the best option is a special course of 10 sessions.

On average, 5-10 sessions are enough. On days free from massage, you are allowed to simply use classic Thai massage. And at home it will be useful to use a special cream. During the first procedures of the massage technique, mild pain appears, but after a couple of days the body will get used to such stress.

It should be noted that despite the fact that the effectiveness of slim massage is noticeable immediately after the 1st procedure, a long-term sustainable effect can be achieved only after the 7-8th session.

With slim massage, weight loss occurs naturally. Fat begins to be burned when massaging the body, when there is a strong load. The skin also experiences a beneficial effect. As a result of losing weight, it does not sag, but gains firmness and elasticity. In this case, the body does not gain its original weight. This is the huge and significant advantage of this massage technique over the use of various chemical agents, for example, diet pills.

It is prohibited to use this slim massage if the client has kidney and heart diseases, minors, as well as nursing young mothers and girls in the process of bearing a child and during menstruation.

An amazing fact is that after a Thai slim massage you can not only lose weight, but also feel noticeable lightness throughout your body. After such procedures, the client’s skin becomes almost like a baby’s skin. The same velvety, delicate, smooth, without the irregularities and bumps that accompany cellulite. Thoughts also become positive. Perhaps, to a greater extent, this is facilitated by the realization that the transformation has taken place. After all sessions of Thai slim massage, the result is immediately noticeable.

A magical procedure, the result of even one session is phenomenal: from minus 2 to 7 centimeters in the volume of the problem area. Such a significant effect lies in the use of creams of unique compositions and selectivity of exposure. The master devotes a session to deep, intensive treatment, for example, of the buttocks or thighs, without spraying all areas at once. And only before completing the procedure, the massage therapist works on each part of the body, which is already one of the elements of Thai massage.

Features of the impact

The master's hands and elbows are not tense. The main work is done by strong, tense fingers: starting with the little finger, the rest are gradually involved. In the process, they are widely spaced and the manipulations of the hands closely overlap. Initial stroking turns into tapping on heated areas. Resonance from the master’s palms and characteristic clapping sounds appear. When body fat broken, the master begins to form the anatomical contours of the zone through intense pressure.

The important point is that if you are not very overweight, then after the procedure or the next day you may feel pleasant fatigue in your muscles, which will eventually be replaced by vigor. And if the weight is too excessive, fat has accumulated over a number of years without any resistance, then after the first procedure some muscle soreness will be felt, which will also go away after the 2nd session.

Procedure for slim massage for weight loss

1. The client himself chooses an area of ​​the body to work on and lies down on the couch.

If the client finds it difficult to choose, the master will tell you where to start. All manual specialists study not only slim massage, but also Ayurveda - the oldest medical science, which allows you to determine the sequence of zones to be worked on based on age, skin color, body proportions and weight.

2. After a short warm-up, cream is applied to the area and the specialist makes a series of light movements so that the cream is absorbed.

3. Third stage: intensive rubbing of the cream, the same breaking up of deposits that was mentioned above. May include pinching, intensive rubbing, kneading, which alternate. If a massage is performed on not one, but two problem areas, then a hot compress is applied to the worked area so that the tissue does not cool down throughout the session. Each one takes at least 30 minutes to complete.

Many who have experienced the effects of slim massage note that the body feels warm and warmed up even a day after the procedure. This is understandable: the tissues are saturated with oxygen and natural beneficial elements of the cream.

Toxins disappear, and the desire to eat healthy foods appears: salads, fruits, vegetables. There is energy for movement, you want to be active. Fat goes away and weight does not return over time, provided proper nutrition. The secret of slim massage is long-term rubbing of the cream into heated skin.
