What Is Thai Therapeutic Massage?

Thai Massage is therapeutic rather than relaxing. It targets problem areas and helps with taking away aches and pains, restoring mobility and improving general wellbeing.

Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient system of healing stretching back at least 2500 years. It combines Yoga, Ayurvedic medicine and Buddhist spiritual practice. This unique and complete system of therapy combines rhythmic massage, acupressure, gentle twisting, deep stretching and meditation.

Thai Massage is useful for relieving pain and injuries, but can also be used for enhancing physical performance, increasing mobility, and body maintenance.  Athletes can benefit from a Thai Massage before a competition to ensure their body is tuned for maximum performance.

What Are The Main Benefits Of A Thai Massage?

Thai Massage has many benefits for pain relief and improving general wellbeing. Some of the main benefits of Thai Massage include:

 

Reducing lower back pain, including chronic pain

 

Improve range of motion by using assisted yoga poses

 

Reduces feelings of anxiety and promotes mental wellbeing

 

Reduces stress by reducing levels of cortisol, the "stress hormone", in the body using deep pressure massage techniques

Who Should Avoid Thai Massage?

Thai massage is a little more vigorous than many other massages and, as in the case of all massages, certain health conditions may exclude you from being able to try it safely. A Thai massage session at Krisada may have an adverse effect on your system due to existing medical or health problems.

• If you have hypertension

• If you are being treated for, or have recently recovered from any kind of orthopaedic condition or pain, in your joints or bones
• If you have recently had surgery or are recovering from surgery
• If you have a dermatological condition, sensitive skin, or a rash that could react to the use of massage oils or lotions that may be used
• If you are under 18
• If you are older, this may be too vigorous a massage for you depending on your health

What Is Tok Sen Massage?

Tok means to hammer or hit and sen refers to the pathways in the body. Tok Sen massage is an ancient northern Thai massage practice which uses a special wooden hammer, made from the bark of the tamarind tree, to relax muscles in a rhythmically tapping motion, known as ‘Tok Sen’.

Tok Sen massage therapy helps to alleviate physical aches and pains, energy blockages, improve circulation, and soothe nerve problems.
