FUNCTIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM TO REALIGN THE BODY FOR ENHANCED VITALITY

The use of herbal heated compresses is a traditional Thai therapy which dates back to ancient times, when it was the secret healing technique of Buddhist monks and local herbal healers. Thai Herbal Compress involves special poultices made of herbs and spices that are wrapped in muslin and steam heated. Steam heating allows the release of natural essential oils and aromas from the herbs and spices to help promote deep relaxation, reduced stress and fatigue, increased physical wellbeing, enhanced alignment and postural integrity of the body, improved circulation of blood and lymph and the stimulation of the internal organs.

Kamalaya’s Asian Foot Massage with Herbal Soak is a nourishing treatment which begins with a warm foot soak infused with locally sourced fresh and dried herbs renowned for their therapeutic properties. These herbs help to reduce muscle tension & stress, induce better sleep, inhibit arthritis, reduce inflammation and improve overall blood circulation. To ensure optimum benefits, the water temperature in the foot bath is set as close to 43 degrees as is comfortable. This allows the warmth to gradually penetrate and move up the legs and deeper into the body, bringing with it a welcome sense of calm and rejuvenation. A traditional Asian Hand Massage is then performed to open the energy channels of the chest and related organs, as well as opening the lungs for deeper breathing and the release of accumulated stress and emotions. Following this, a Traditional Asian Foot Massage works on specific pressure points to systematically activate nerve reflexes, thereby stimulating all of the body’s organs and tissues to improve overall function and wellbeing.

Before a guest undergoes hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Kamalaya’s medical team will examine the guest’s physical condition. During the treatment, the guest will be assisted into the hyperbaric chamber, where the guest will lie wearing an oxygen mask, while 93 – 97% pure oxygen is released and the atmospheric pressure is increased to greater than normal. Inside the chamber, the guests can adjust their posture and position so that they are comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment.

The therapy session lasts between 75-90 minutes and the number of recommended HBOT sessions depends on the purpose of the treatment and how well the patient responds to the therapy. When the session is complete, the chamber is slowly depressurised to normal atmospheric pressure before the guest can exit the chamber. This treatment is not suitable for those with claustrophobia.

This deep tissue massage focuses on releasing tension and discomfort in the areas most commonly affected by lifestyle and stress. Modern lifestyles which include long hours sitting at a computer and frequent travel on planes and cars promote poor posture and limited or repetitive movement. This leads to an imbalance in our natural flow of movement causing restricted blood flow, blocked energy circulation and even shallow breathing which often manifests as tension, fatigue and pain. Overworked areas such as back, neck and shoulder muscles tend to contract causing tightness and pain. By working deep into the layers of muscles and connective tissue with slow but very firm strokes, this massage effectively relieves tension and contractions in those areas and guides the body back to its natural state of balance. This treatment may also help to relieve headaches and stress.
