Because the client is encouraged also to breathe through the work, it enables them to not only learn proper breathing techniques but to utilise the breath for conscious and therapeutic healing.

The use of oils on the body and the rope as support, allow the long flowing movement of the practitioner's foot to cover the complete body from toes to head in one smooth movement. The accumulated effect of these long, and also directed short movements, are that the client's physical and energetic body is thoroughly treated and they come away feeling stimulated in body mind and spirit.
How often is it good to have a massage treatment?
Massage is excellent at any time and there is really no limit as to how often one has treatment.
In the case of Chavutti Thirumal a recommended commitment is for a ten session treatment plan. If one can organise it, a once a day for ten days plan makes an extraordinarily effective cleansing, energising and revitalising regime and if combined with appropriate diet can feel as if you have just returned from a month's holiday in paradise!
In this case massage offers never too much of a good thing.
How do I find a good therapist for massage therapy?
The most important element in massage as in yoga, is to find a therapist that is qualified and trained appropriately.
Bodywork needs knowledge and that is especially true with massage therapy. Where there is manipulation involved it is doubly true. Gentle therapeutic massage that does not involve manipulation does not have to be so rigorously certified, although in this litigious age it is highly recommended to be properly qualified and insured as a practitioner.
There are many gifted individuals whose healing hands make them natural massage practitioners. However, the majority of these will seek out a qualification of some degree or other to further their skills base and to be able to work in the wider environment.
