Information about Traditional Thai Massage

The session will always be customized around the client’s needs and recommendations may be given which will include stretches, posture tips, lifestyle modifications or follow-up care with other modalities or practitioners.

Traditional Thai massage is practiced on a mattress on the floor and clients must always wear comfortable clothes. The therapist provides massage without oil.

Thai massage therapists use gentle to strong pressure and stretching, pulling, and rocking techniques to relieve tension, until the entire body is relaxed. They also use enhanced flexibility techniques using their hands, knees, legs and even feet.

Healing philosophy of Thai Massage

The energy, or Chi, is believed to move through one’s body along pathways known as Sens. Sens correspond to different parts of the body, such as the bones, muscles, blood, and nerves. The Sens that affect the mind and consciousness are more thought of as subtle channels.

One reason Thai massages focus on the Sens, is that practitioners believe tight muscles cause blockages within different Sens. Such blockages are believed to reduce the flow of life energy, which can cause stiffness and result to illness. Thai massage therapists employ different techniques that either open or tighten different Sen lines to correct the flow of life energy.

Researchers also support that, Thai massage increase flexibility as it can improve blood flow and increase oxygen supply to the muscles. Thai massage can promote the circulation of both blood and lymph through the use of gentle stretches. The increased circulation then fills the body’s tissues with oxygen. This helps promote cell growth and good health of the heart. It is scientifically known that improved blood circulation stimulates the somatosensory system. This system plays a major role to keeping balance.
