Traditional Thai massage is based on a holistic apporach which is
in line with the human
nature. The integration of nature, body, spirit and soul is the central
orientation. Unlike
classical Western forms of massage it is geared less to the anatomy of the human
body
than to the so-called lines and fields of energy which are comparable to the
meridians in
Chinese medicine. Closely related are for example acupressure and reflexology.
Owing to
the unique technique it generally produces far better health results than
conventional
forms of massage.
While rubbing and kneadling of the skin are essential elements of
the classical Western
massage, traditional Thai massage uses specific bodily sites to exert a positive
influence
on other (inner) parts of the body. This is why no massage oil is required.
However, the
effect of the massage can be enhanced in some cases by using special herbal
essences.
Extending and stretching the entire muscular system stimulate the local circular of
the skin,
the connective tissue and muscles.
