Thai massage is used as part of an integrated massage session. It is not offered as a separate service. Thai
Massage is a 2500 year old technique originating from the spread of
Buddhism in India and Ayurvedic healing traditions. The founder of Thai
Massage "Father Doctor" Shivaga Komarpaj, was a doctor, friend and
contemporary to the Buddha. Often referred to as
the "Lazy Man's Yoga," Thai Massage is a technique that involves a
unique combination of gentle rocking and stretching using range of
motion and acupressure techniques applied through clothing without
oils. Thai massage stretches all the major muscle groups of the body,
which helps to open and realign the body. Habitual poor posture can
result in pain and lack of mobility in the muscles and joints. The
positions of Thai massage are designed to improve range of motion,
relax and lengthen the muscles, and relieve any pressure caused by poor
alignment. Even those who are extremely flexible can benefit from Thai
massage, because passive stretching allows you to relax further into
the stretch than would be possible on your own.
Thai massage
practitioners use hands, feet, elbows, knees and legs to stretch,
balance and energize the recipient's body. The stretching often takes
the form of assisted yoga, and the massage itself relies upon the
massage therapist kneading the muscles, applying pressure to
marma (accupressure) points, and flushing the toxins and dead cells from the
body.
