Thai Massage:
A Thai massage session is equivalent to having yoga asana (postures) done to you along with stretches and compression movements. Thai massage has been utilized for over 2500 years as an important healing tool in the treatment of a wide variety of ailments. These can include, but are not limited to, musculo-skeletal problems, internal medical problems, neurological complaints, and emotional distress. There are many benefits of Thai massage such as increased flexibility, elimination of muscle spasms and pain, increased blood circulation, stimulation of internal organs, calming of the nervous system, profound stress relief and moments of sweet bliss.
The rhythmic movenments of Thai massage are applied very, very slowly with the use of the practitioners hands, feet, elbows and knees which allows the practitioner to become acutely aware of resistance and any discomfort for the client immediately and is able to stop or adjust the procedure before injury occurs.
There are key aspects of Thai massage that make it quite different from what is typically considered to be massage. Thai massage is performed with the recipient wearing loose fitting clothing while lying on a futon on the floor. No oils or lotions are used, and the session usually lasts a minimum of 90 minutes. In Thailand, it is common for sessions to last up to three hours!
A final aspect of Thai massage that further establishes it uniqueness form Western massage is the emphasis on deep abdominal procedures. In Thai medical theory, all the major energy pathways of the body (the Sen) have their origins in the abdomen in the vicinity of the navel. In addition, the health and vitality of the primary sensory orifices (eyes, ears, nose, and mouth) are dependant on the health of the abdominal organs and the unobstructed flow of bio-energy through and away from the abdomen. It is best for the client not to consume any food 2 hous prior to a Thai massage if abdoment techniques are to be performed.
