About Thai Massage
Thai massage consists of a combination of yoga stretches, stimulation of acupressure points, muscle massage and joint manipulation.
It is believed to have origins in India and to have been taken to Thailand around 2500 years ago by Shivago Komarpaj, The Father Doctor of Thai medicine. There are similarities to both Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
The client lies on a mat on the floor and may remain fully clothed except for the feet (yoga shorts or fisherman's pants are provided if required). Pressure is exerted on the energy, or Sen, lines and points with the palms, thumbs, feet, and even elbows.The stretching movements affect the entire body by increasing flexibility, releasing both superficial and deep tension, and helping the body's natural energy flow more freely. It is an extraordinary method of re-aligning the body.
Benefits of Thai Massage include:
- Deep Relaxation
- Increased Flexibility & Motion
- Release of Stress
- Increased Energy
- Improved Quality of Sleep
- Better Posture & Skeletal Alignment
