CBD oil Massage
How it works
CBD oil has been found to help reduce blood pressure, alleviate stress and speed up the recovery of muscles that have experienced injury or overuse. By applying CBD topicals directly to the affected areas, the cannabinoid's natural anti-inflammatory effects can help to reduce the inflammation and therefore relieve any discomfort being experienced due to sore muscles. CBD Works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for regulating sleep, memory, pain and immune function. Cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body interact with this system to influence these factors, and CBD (a cannabinoid itself) can also interact with the endocannabinoid system to induce similar effects. While CBD is derived from the hemp plant, it does not bind the two cannabinoid receptors, meaning that it has zero psychoactive properties. CBD offers a wealth of benefits without any mind-altering effects and does not show up on any drug test.
A Note About Thai Massage
What it is
Traditional Thai massage is an ancient healing system combining acupressure and assisted yoga postures. This practice is done fully clothed, on a floor mat and uses no oils or lotions. You will be positioned in a variety of restorative yoga-like positions during the course of the massage while your body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked in deep static and rhythmic pressures.
How it works
Rather than forcing your own body into active yoga stretches, Thai massage allows you to be relaxed and comfortable while you are passively stretched. This simple act allows your muscles to be coaxed into a healthier state of being. Passive stretching is especially helpful for tight muscles in your hips and gluteals, which is the most common cause of low back pain.
Who it's for
Everyone experiences low back pain at some point. Further than that, most people experience upper back pain, due to tight chest muscles. Hip or knee pain, due to an imbalance in ankle strength. Neck pain, due to tensed shoulders. Everyone experiences pain due to tight, stiff muscles and a lack of ROM (range of motion) which is exactly what thai massage was designed to fight.
Where you can find it
There are very few massage therapists in the Uniontown area that are trained in Thai massage, and even fewer who routinely practice it. Here at OmBody, not only is Thai massage Leann Beatty’s specialty, it’s her favorite service to give. Because of this, she has created a specific space in our studio where her thai mat lives. If you’re looking for relief and interested in thai massage, Leann is available Monday-Wednesday & Friday 10-4.
