They say that sitting is the new smoking, and it’s certainly something that is pulled up again and again by doctors and personal trainers alike: in the 21st century, we don’t move nearly as much as we should. From back pain to shoulder aches to wrist cramps, our bodies are rejecting the demands of our sedentary lifestyle. Thankfully, award-winning Thai wellness resort Kamalaya has an answer. The new “Structural Revival wellness programme addresses behavioural patterns in our modern lifestyles to correct postural misalignments and re-establish functionality.
The Koh Samui-based wellness sanctuary and holistic spa offers a comprehensive menu of wellness programmes already, including detox, yoga and lifestyle. This new retreat programme counters the physical aggravations caused by our modern lifestyles, as well as aging and trauma, and removes tightness, pain and discomfort through a programme of realignment exercises.

Key to a happy and healthy lifestyle, correct structural alignment promotes enhanced posture, blood circulation, improved organ function, increased energy, better mobility, reduced pain and balance in psychological well-being.
