5 Things You Need To Know About Thai Massage
Silk Thai Therapy
Thai massage is a traditional healing system
that combines acupressure-assisted yoga postures
and Indian Ayurvedic principles to relax the
body. It is an ancient form of healing that has
been practiced alongside other traditional
medicines in Thailand for thousands of years.
Its origin dates back to oriental medicine and
yoga.
Thai massage therapy is based on the concept of
an invisible energy body that surrounds every
human being. An individual's energy body is made
up of over 72,000 individual energy lines. This
energy body is divided into ten main energy lines
called Sen which supply the organs with vital
energy, the life force. Traditional Thai massage
focuses on manipulating energy in the ten main
Sen lines.
Getting a massage, especially for the first time,
can be intimidating and raise questions like
This is going to hurt ? Do I keep my underwear on
or do I get polished? But even for those
familiar with other types of massage, a Thai
massage is quite unique. The technique used by
Thai masseuses is very different from what people
are used to. Unlike hot stone or deep tissue
massages, where a person lies passively on a bed,
the client lies on the floor and participates
more actively in the massage. Thai massage is
known to relax the whole body. Helps relieve
pain by increasing the relaxation response and
reducing the defence activation response. It is
famous not only in Thailand but in other
countries as it promotes relaxation, reduces
stress and increases parasympathetic activity in
patients with

back pain. It also increases blood circulation,
lowers blood pressure and heart rate, reduces
pain and promotes relaxation. Unless you try it
yourself, you won't understand why it's arguably
the most accessible type of massage. Here are 5
important things to know before your Thai
massage therapy.
1. The history of Thai massage Thai massage was
developed by monks centuries ago. It is said to
have been founded by Chiwaka Komaraphat, who is
believed to have been the Buddha's physician over
2,500 years ago. He was known to have
extraordinary medical skills and extensive
knowledge of herbal medicine. Among the
towering towers and ceramic-encrusted stupas of
Bangkok's Wat Pho temple is a cluster of
19th-century inscriptions. Shaded by wooden
eaves, these large marble slabs, known as the
Epigraphic Records of Wat Pho, reveal the secrets
of the Thai way of life and constitute one of
the earliest records of Nuad Thai techniques
(massage Thai). . "Unlike more 'Western' styles
of massage, the rich history of Thai massage has
been passed down from generation to generation.
As a result, silk thai therapy Thai massage has
developed over time and its benefits have been
well studied." Although you may not believe in
the lines of energy that Thai massage therapists
believe run through the body, you will certainly
benefit from the years of experience that have
gone into their techniques.
2. Thai massage techniques Thai massage
techniques are based on the belief that tight
muscles decrease the flow of energy. When your
body's energy is still, its stiffness and
inflexibility create discomfort and pain. This
practice lends itself to being sustainable for
both giver and receiver, and is often described
as "Thai yoga massage" and "lazy yoga".
Traditional Thai massage uses two main
techniques. They include The technique of royal
Thai massage (rajasamnak) The Royal Thai
massage technique affects deep organs and tissues
by increasing blood circulation and increasing
nerve function. The masseuses must have
anatomical knowledge and great experience to be
able to perform this type of massage correctly.
This technique requires using the hands and
fingertips for acupressure all the time without
exhaling on the patient. For this massage
treatment, the patient will be lying on their
back, on their side or seated. You do not lie on
your stomach as in the common technique of Thai
massage. The common technique of Thai massage
("chalosiak") The common Thai massage technique
helps relieve tension, stiffness and general
muscle tension. It stimulates the circulation of
blood and energy throughout the body. This
technique requires the use of hands, feet,
knees, elbows, etc. If the therapist is not
experienced, this

can lead to loss of bone joint or is likely to
cause bruising of muscles or capillaries, so it
is important to go for it. at a spa that has
qualified and experienced therapists.
  • Proven Health Benefits of Thai Massage
  • Thai massage is beneficial in many ways for your
    mental and physical health. It stimulates every
    organ in your body and balances every body
    system, making it a powerful therapy for your
    physical and emotional issues. During a
    traditional Thai massage, light pressure is
    applied to the internal organs of the abdomen
    with the various yoga postures and abdominal
    massage.
  • Studies done in these Hatha Yoga positions have
    shown that the stimulation causes the internal
    organs to start functioning at their full
    capacity. This improves digestion, nutrient
    absorption, waste disposal, and blood and
    lymphatic circulation.
  • The 6 proven health benefits of Thai massage
    include
  • It can help relieve your migraines or tension
    headaches. In several small studies, researchers
    have found that Thai massage therapy can reduce
    the intensity of migraines and tension
    headaches. They also concluded that the benefits
    of Thai massage can last anywhere from several
    days to around 15 weeks.
  • Reduces back pain. Studies show that Thai massage
    reduces lower back pain associated with trigger
    points (tight, painful muscle groups) in the
    upper back.
  • It can relieve joint stiffness and pain,
    especially in people with arthritis of the knee.
    Studies indicate that three weeks of Thai massage
    provides the same pain relief as three weeks of
    ibuprofen
  • Increases flexibility and range of motion which
    is especially good for athletes. Research has
    shown that Thai massage improves speed and
    agility, as well as the ability to move easily.
    Thai massage improves blood circulation and the
    supply of oxygen to the muscles this can help
    reduce pain and decrease muscle adhesions.
  • Relieves anxiety. One of the most appealing
    aspects of Thai massage therapy is the feeling
    of calm and relaxation it can provide. Although
    Thai massage is more energetic than other types
    of massage, it has been shown to reduce anxiety
    and increase systemic feelings of calm.
  • Re-energize. Thai massage incorporates whole body
    movements, especially yoga postures. This is why
    people leave Thai massage sessions feeling not
    only relaxed but also rejuvenated.
  • If you want a change from your traditional types
    of massage, or if you're particularly stiff or
    sore from exercise or arthritis, Thai massage may
    be just what you're looking for. You can book a

  • Side effects of Thai massage
  • All types of massage, including Thai massage, can
    help people relax, temporarily relieve muscle
    pain, and improve a person's mood. Although it
    has many health benefits, Thai massage also has
    its side effects.
  • "Although a person of any age can receive a Thai
    massage, it is not appropriate for everyone."
    Thai massage may not be safe for someone with the
    following health conditions
  • Herniated disc
  • Osteoporosis
  • Heart disease.
  • high blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Cancer
  • You should not receive Thai massage if you are
    pregnant or have just had surgery, as the
    technique could pose health risks. The physical
    intensity of this massage technique could lead
    to health complications or aggravate pre-existing
    injuries.
  • If you are considering trying Thai massage but
    are concerned about your medical history, it is
    a good idea to first consult your health care
    provider before having a massage.

5. What happens at the spa during a Thai
massage The Thai massage treatment, unlike other
types of massage, requires you to keep your
clothes on for the duration of the massage. You
can wear your own loose clothes or your
therapist may ask you to put on dress-like
clothes a loose cotton blouse and drawstring
pants. You will lie on a massage mat or mattress
on the floor while your massage therapist slowly
moves your body through several stretches, using
your body weight and pressure to assist. Unlike
Swedish massage, no oil is used and the muscles
are generally not kneaded. Instead, your
therapist will use their hands, thumbs, elbows,
and knees to stretch and pull on different parts
of your body. With this stretch, you will relieve
muscle tension, increase muscle flexibility,
increase muscle tone and improve joint
mobility. Some of these stretches may involve
performing yoga-like movements with your
therapist holding or pulling you into a pose. As
the therapist pays attention to each part of your
body, you will recognize previously overlooked
sources of tension and be able to release
them. "T hai massage keeps you more present in
your body throughout the process, so you'll find
that you're better able to identify those sources
of tension after the massage and prevent them
from coming back, rather than just feel relieved
that they're gone." If your muscles are sore or
tense, you may feel some discomfort. If you do,
let your therapist know so the pressure and
stretch can be reduced. Also, if you have an
injury or if any part of
5
your body is sensitive to pain, let your
therapist know before you begin your massage
session. Are you looking for All You Need To
