A long flight plays havoc with your body
Sat in a small seat with not much legroom,not knowing what time of day or night it is, drying out like a prune, having the loudest crying baby in the seat next to you
Jetlag affects your whole physiology including cortisol levels, which in turn will affect how your body functions
Just arrived at Heathrow? Ankles puffed up and head throbbing?
You need a Post Flight Massage
We spotted this advert and decided to give it a try
Thai Remedy is a relatively new company that is offering an out-call service
We were lucky as they had a therapist nearby who had just finished treatment and she was with us within 30 mins
The massage lasted 90 Minutes and started using deep tissue Thai techniques
I found this very relaxing indeed, especially around the neck and shoulders
Lower back and hips next which nearly had me nodding off and then onto the legs and puffy ankles
I really could feel the circulation returning to my body and felt great
I was advised to drink a lot of water and have a healthy meal
The therapist used sweet almond oil which I found nice
It didn't stay on my skin like some cheap mineral oils, and my skin felt rehydrated afterwards
Well done Thai Remedy a great service
