Traditional Thai massage has been known for more than 2500 years and its cradle is India, but nowadays you can indulge in it in Slovakia. It incorporates the principles of Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine and was originally considered a healing art. What can you expect from it?
The difference between classical and Thai massage
There are several types of massages, and you’ve certainly had some. It differs from a classic massage in that the client does not lie on a massage table, but on a pad on the ground. Another difference is that traditional Thai massage is not just about massaging stiff muscles and joints.
The masseuse also uses acupressure techniques on the places where invisible energy pathways – meridians – are located. These meridians are located approximately 2 cm below the skin and are also known as the “ten Thai massage pathways”. By squeezing and stimulating them, Chi energy is released, ensuring a healthy and even flow of energy throughout the body.
To be effective and efficient enough, the masseuse uses both hands and feet. Traditional Thai massage is usually done through clothing, but the client has a choice of several types, and Aroma, Hot Stone or Hot Herbal massage are also popular.
Thai massage – effects
Thai massage is versatile and helps address several health issues. It promotes detoxification of the body as acupressure helps heal organs, glands and removes accumulated toxins from the tissues, thereby strengthening the immune system.
Other benefits include greater flexibility, improved posture, proper breathing, promoting blood circulation and overall blood flow to the body, and relieving physical tension and muscle and joint pain. It should not be forgotten that regular traditional Thai massage acts as a prevention against degenerative diseases, slows down the aging process and improves the condition of the skin.
In addition, it has several other benefits – acting on acupressure points and various techniques help to release tension and endorphins, so that the client experiences feelings of joy during the massage. It has a beneficial effect on the mind, releasing tension, relieving stress and anxiety. After a Thai massage one is energized and feels refreshed, vital and even reborn.
