Doing the twist

During my massage treatments, I incorporate a Thai Osteo spinal twisting with movement. Twisting can have various effects on the body.

Improved Mobility: Twisting poses can enhance spinal mobility and flexibility, encouraging the small postural muscles of the spine to lengthen and contract. 

  • Relief of Low Back Pain: Spinal twists can improve range of movement and circulation, potentially relieving low back pain. 
  • Digestive Health: The movement can help massage and squeeze digestive organs, potentially aiding in waste removal and digestion. 
  • Mind-Body Connection: Twisting poses, combined with focus on breath, can promote relaxation and mindfulness. 
  • Nourishment of Spinal Disks: Twisting can provide added blood flow to the spine, benefiting the spinal disks. 


Other advantages:
Digestive Benefits: Some people find that twisting poses help manage bloating and constipation by stimulating the GI system. 
Emotional Release: Spinal twists can provide an emotional release, similar to the physical benefits.
