Thai massage
Thai massage is a special type of massage, combining relaxation and restorative procedures. In Buddhist philosophy there is a concept of “energy lines”. The method is based on activating special points on the body responsible for internal energy.
The effect on the body is in the lines defined by Eastern practices, and not on the lymphatic system or joints, adopted in classical and sports massage.
Thai massage restores a person’s physical strength, not forgetting about spirituality.
There are 2 techniques that reflect the Asian tradition:
Royal. Performed at a distance of outstretched hands from the massaged. This tradition is due to the fact that royal individuals in Thailand are not allowed to approach closely. The masseur moves around the patient on his knees and can only use his hands. This feature has been preserved since the time when physicians were obliged to show respect to the nobility. It is likely that the lap dance was the source of the erroneous notion of Thai massage as an erotic show in which the procedure is done by Thai women with bare breasts.
In fact, the procedure is designed to calm and relax, not arouse.
General (traditional). The master uses additional devices, his body, even the help of the patient to achieve the result. The action, by manipulation, pressure – only a preparatory stage. In European countries, traditional massage is more often done by men. It requires considerable effort.
Indications and contraindications
The main reasons for recourse to the wellness possibilities of Thai massage – disorders of the musculoskeletal system, pain, spastic states
Contraindication:
Particular importance is attached to the atmosphere. To make it relaxing, create a harmonious environment that combines the color of the interior, smells, sounds
The action on the active points is made by pressure. For soft pressure use of thumbs. For deep impact – palms, elbows, knees, feet. The session starts with a light warming action, increasing depth and pressure duration
Manipulation – movement of the extremities. The Master turns, twists, stretches those parts of the patient’s body in which it will find pinches and spasms. The actions are aimed at relaxing muscles, improving the elasticity of ligaments and tendons, improving circulation and mobility of joints
Massaged on the floor. Thai traditional massage begins with the development of energy lines. All lines come from the navel. Then they go up to the nostrils, the eyes, the tongue, the chin, down to the groin, the thighs, the legs, the feet. In total, the Thai method consists of ten lines that connect all parts of the body. The internal energy flows out along the lines, giving the head to vitality, cheerfulness, health. The masseur activates and stimulates them in one way
Fingers. In addition to pressure, the fingers make stretches and prominations, activating the blood circulation, lymph, the sensitivity of nerve endings. The fingers work out the most hard-to-reach and tender places on the body. «Stepovye» pressing is carried out along the lines of energy channels
Palm. The inside of the palm, the area near the wrist, press on the patient’s large muscles – back, buttocks, thighs. With this technique of work sometimes do a massage four hands.
Elbow joint. Such deep pressure is also designed for working out large gluteal, femoral muscles. If exposure to the elbow causes some discomfort or pain, the master uses the forearm.
Knee. Creates a stop in any area of the body to stretch the joint and surrounding tissue.
Feet. One of the most active ways of exposure. Most often the master stands on the patient, so the pressure force is quite high. Used for large muscles in the middle or end of session.
Knowing what the masseur works, it is easy to leave the idea of how to do Thai massage. It’s a pretty intense procedure, going deep into all the trouble spots.
Conventional medicine believes that disturbances in energy flows lead to physical and mental pathologies. Eliminating imbalance heals and gives lasting positive effects:
Masters do Thai procedure both in spa rooms, and in rehabilitation centers, hospitals. Thai technology contributes to faster recovery, reducing congestion in patients with reduced mobility.
