What is Traditional Thai Massage?
Thai Massage has been practised in Thailand for thousands of years as a method of healing.
It is based on the belief that all life force spirals around prana (energy) pathways in the body. There are 72,000 energy lines that make up the energy body. Any blockage along these lines can cause disease on a physical, spiritual and emotional level. Thai massage focuses on 10 important lines called sen lines (or meridians in the Chinese system). By releasing any blocked energy along the sen lines, prana can flow freely, thereby restoring balance, health and harmony in the body.
Traditional Thai Massage is a combination of rhythmic massage, acupressure, reflexology and yogic exercises, or gentle stretching, which manipulates the energy lines and so diminishes tension, stimulates metabolism and creates a feeling of vitality and wellbeing.
