The art of Traditional Thai Massage has been refined during hundreds of years of practice and passed down through generations. In Pai massage is alive and well and enjoyed by many visitors every day. The methods used today date back to Indian Ayurvedic practice developed initially by Buddhist monks nearly 2000 years ago.
There are three popular choices of massage.
Thai massage: which involves vigorously treating more than 100 areas of the body, using hand pressure and the masseuses own body to apply forces that aim to work pressure points, and re-align energy lines in the body. Ideally, this process takes at least two hours and can be a little uncomfortable at times, but leaves you feeling very relaxed.
Oil Massage: is gentler than Thai massage and involves deep muscle tissue treatment using specially blended therapeutic oils.
Foot massage: works the internal organs of the body
through manipulation of pressure points on the soles of your feet in
much the same way as reflexology. This is another skill that has been
passed down through the ages and can be quite effective in producing a
mild detox effect on the body. Foot massage is a popular relief for
tired feet.
Thai massage focuses on 10 energy points in the body, known as 'sen'
though there are over 70,000 recorded sen in all. It differs from other
forms of massage in that there is a focused spiritual aspect involved,
and a properly trained masseuse will conduct a short prayer before
commencing in order to focus their energy on the task.
Aspects of yoga are incorporated in the massage, bending and twisting the torso to 'reset' the muscular-skeletal position. The procedure is a slow and patient one, with most attention given to areas which are most muscular, such as the thighs.
The most active tool in a masseuses arsenal is the thumb, however,
as with the fingers, there is indirect pressure applied and the ball of
the digit is used rather than the tip. A correctly trained Thai massage
practitioner will avoid sensitive areas such as the knees. If you have
ailments or chronic problems sensitive to body pressure, you are
advised to receive your massage from a professional, where the masseuse
will usually quiz you beforehand so as to avoid anything painful and
harmful.
