Thai Treatment
Art of combining yogic physiotherapy, Prana, reflexology with intuitive touch for healing.
Thai massage, which originated in India, has been around for over 2,500 years ago by Dr. Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha also known as Shivago Kompara. He was from North India, and a close associate of the Buddha and chief of the original community gathered around the Buddha. Originally regarded as a healing art, traditional Thai massage includes influences from both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. The idea of Shen-lines or energy-lines were first used in “Thai yoga massage”.
Thai massage is an effective as a pain relieving body treatment. It is a type of Oriental bodywork therapy that is based on the treatment of the human body, mind, and spirit. The therapy includes treating the electromagnetic or energetic field which surrounds, infuses and brings the body to life through pressure and/or manipulative massage.
Principle of Thai Massage:
Thai Massage is very different from the other massage therapies that usually involve tissue manipulation. It is a dry massage therapy and does not use any oils or lotion. Instead, it is performed using deep compressing, rhythmic pressing, and stretching. The pressure, tension, and motion or vibration movements used during massage improve regional blood circulation. The Thai Massage is performed using different body parts such as palm, thumb, fingers, forearm, elbow or even feet.
Thai Massage used a variety of yoga like stretching positions for its therapeutic effects. Thai massage is based on principles of correcting the energy balance through the body. The basic principle of Thai Massage is to start with from the extremities of the body (laterally), work towards the core of the body (medially), and then back to the extremities. This ensured the flow of energy though the energy channels called meridians, and also improve blood circulation throughout the body.
