Everyone has little aches and pains from time to time. But pain should never affect your daily life and become a distraction. At Chiva-Som, we offer a retreat at our resort in Thailand that will teach you successful pain management techniques. These techniques are part of our Optimal Performance Retreat that will leave you feeling healthier and stronger.

Our retreat focuses on physical fitness, recovery and rehabilitation from an injury or illness, managing pain, and general health improvement. The retreat helps you regain your optimal health and vitality so you can flourish in all aspects of life.

Comprehensive Programme

Our retreat is a combination of physiotherapy and physical fitness. It starts with a thorough consultation to learn about the pain that's affecting your well-being and your ultimate physical goals. As we begin to understand your physical condition, we can formulate a plan to achieve your goals and restore your health, well-being, and happiness.

Your bespoke programme will be designed at our resort in Thailand to include super stretch, re-functional exercises, physiotherapy, and deep tissue massage therapy. Our beautiful seaside surroundings in Hua Hin will help provide the right atmosphere for you to regain a positive mental outlook to reach your goals.
