Thai massage, also known as Thai massage or traditional Thai massage, is a form of body therapy originating in Thailand. This age-old technique combines pressure on acupressure points, passive body stretching and joint manipulation to improve energy flow and promote balance and relaxation.
What is Thai massage?
Thai massage, also known as “Thai massage”, is a traditional form of physical therapy and relaxation originating in Thailand. It is based on principles of traditional Thai medicine and massage techniques traditionally used in this culture.
Thai massage is an interactive form of massage in which the therapist uses a combination of pressure on key energy points, stretching and rhythmic movements to help relax and restore balance to the patient’s body. The technique is based on the concept of energy lines, known as ‘sen’, which are believed to run through the body and connect various organs and systems.
A Thai massage session usually takes place on a comfortable mat on the floor in a quiet and relaxing environment. The therapist uses hands, fingers, wrists, elbows and even feet to apply pressure and perform stretching movements. Some specific techniques include pressure point pressing (called “acupressure”), assisted stretches, pulling and pressure along energy meridians.
