Thai Massage Technique
Thai Massage – one of the world’s great massage traditions.
A blending of the technique of manipulating the energy which travels throughout your body (meridians in Chinese medicine, sen lines in Thai massage), and the yoga traditions of India.
And it’s practiced in different forms reflecting different schools and traditions.
Wonderful for the legs and overall balancing of energy, it’s done with the person clothed, without the use of oil.
Your energy lines are pressed by the therapist’s thumbs, and then the palms, in a gentle and complete pattern.
After your body is loosened up, gentle stretches are done.
Different body areas are massaged more than one time, so two hours is not excessively long for a complete treatment.
It’s good for tight muscles, low energy levels, and stress.
But the stretching involved isn’t good for people with certain back problems, such as herniated disks and fused spinal bones.
And if you aren’t flexible, then you may be a little sore the next day.
