Thai Full Body Massage
A gentle best introduction to yoga techniques.
Service Description
Traditional Thai massage (TTM) is a system of massage techniques known in Thailand under the Thai name, which literally translates to "massaging according to ancient pattern". Thai massage consists of passive stretching positions and stretching movements taken from yoga, joint mobilizations and pressure point massages. In simplified terms, it can therefore be summarized as a combination of (passive) yoga and acupressure. Ten selected "energy lines" (Thai: สิบเส้น – sip sen), which according to traditional teachings are to run through the body, are processed via gentle stretching and with the rhythmic pressure of the palms, thumbs, knees, elbows and feet. The Thai massage takes place clothed on a floor mat. It is characterized by its dynamic powerful aspect. A classic Thai massage routine for a patient without special complaints consists of at least 77 individual treatment techniques[3] and requires at least 11/2 hours, an individualized treatment can take up to three hours. History and origin The yoga elements (fish, plough, bridge, pliers, etc.) of Thai massage and the terminologies refer to an Indian origin. In their name and course, the energy lines of Thai massage (Thai: เส้น – sen) are similar to the energy lines (prana-nadis) commonly used in India: Sen Sumana (thai – เส้นสุมนา) – Sushumna nadi (sanskrit), Sen Ittha (thai – เส้นอิทา) – Ida nadi (Sanskrit), Sen Pingkhla (thai – เส้นปิงคลา) – Pingala nadi (Sanskrit). [5] The authorship of the Thai massage is attributed to the North Indian doctor Jīvaka-Komārabhacca (other spelling: Jivakar Kumar Bhaccha). Even today, he is revered in Thailand as the "Father of Medicine" and mentioned in a devotional (Thai: Wai Khru – ไหว้ครู) at the beginning of Thai massage ("Om Namo Jivago.."). [Info Wkidipedia]
