Thai massage is one of the ancient healing arts of traditional Thai medicine. It has been practised in more or less its present form for at least 1,000 years.
Thai massage is for every man and woman whose body is crying out for care, healing and attention. Our modern lifestyle leads us to expect that we can achieve independence and satisfaction by using machines and new technologies. We want to make our lives easy and comfortable and hope to remain healthy, youthful and pain-free to be able to enjoy the increased amount of leisure that we have. We strive too much for joy and success while, unfortunately, we exercise less and less and are losing a sense of care and sympathy towards each other. It is specifically by human closeness that Thai massage creates the proper conditions for physical and emotional relaxation. It is important to stress, however, that the purpose of Thai massage is not sexual gratification but to achieve wholeness, composure, health and happiness.
Thai massage offers an effective prevention of the diseases related to mental and physical stress and thus reduces the time spent away from work due to illness or other ailments. This therapy is especially suitable for relaxing the stressed and sometimes aching muscles typical in office environments where people sit long hours as well as for improving blood circulation and inducing mental refreshment. An unhealthy posture or long hours of sitting result in a stiffening of the neck and shoulder muscles, which often results in waist, shoulder, neck or back pain, migraine and joint conditions.
By systematically stretching some important muscles Thai massage offers healing like no other type of body-work.
In Thai massage the practitioner uses his or her feet, palms, thumbs, elbows and knees alike. The patients are comfortably wrapped in soft woollen garments.
Thai massage involves a variety of techniques such as pressing, stretching, twisting and pulling, which have evolved to perfection through centuries of practice.
Regular receivers of Thai massage feel relaxed, unstressed, happy, flexible and youthful.
By stimulating the circulation of blood and lymph, Thai massage improves concentration and performance, reduces stress and facilitates muscle cell recuperation.
The calmness and harmony of the atmosphere, the gentle music and the pleasant scents provide perfect conditions for ultimate relaxation.
