What is Thai Massage?
Ancient Thai Massage is an energizing and versatile massage technique which is performed in gentle, rhythmic movements. In this course, you practice techniques such as yoga-stretches,
muscle massage, stimulation of meridians through acupressure points and manipulation of the joints. The massage is an ancient way of treatment, originating in Northern India where the yogi Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha developed the technique.
Giving this massage will strengthen you as a therapist, as all exercises are developed for both the masseur and the recipient. The exercises will strengthen your physique and; thereby, your
ability to achieve a focused body and mind. Trust and understanding will arise between the masseur and the recipient.
Elements of Ancient Thai Massage
- Yoga-stretches keep the body supple and are, therefore, very efficient in preventing injuries and maintaining the general balance in the body.
- Muscle massage increases the blood supply to the muscles and helps waste products leave the body more easily.
- Manipulation of the joints brings the body into positions that are rarely used in modern every-day life, which is crucial in order to maintain full movement ability.
- Acupressure stimulates, strengthens and balances the meridians and has a positive influence on the blood cycle, organs and immune defense.
- Rhythmic movement is an important element in Ancient Thai Massage. The recipient will perceive his body as a whole, and many people experience being on a dream travel in their own body during the massage.
- The masseur himself benefits from the great variation in the movements.
