In Asia you will find both young and old regularly at the masseur. It is a part of everyday life..
In Thailand they have known for many centuries, that our daily physical symptoms result from trapped tension in the body. This can be caused by constantly repeating the same actions or sitting still in the same position for too long.
Stress creates tension in the muscles and therefore produces physical complaints. The techniques of Thai massage were designed to remedy these problems and to prevent stagnation. By having regular treatments, will prevent the build up of stress and prolonged tightening of muscles and connective tissue. This ensures that the body remains in good condition.
Thai massage uses various techniques to stretch. Because the receiver is in a sense passive and the masseur carries out the stretch, the effect is different than when performing yoga-stretches by oneself. Even if you are yoga practitioner, you will notice that passive stretches will in some cases work more effectively. This is because the body can permit for a deeper reach of stretching. Some of the effects can only be achieved through passive stretching.
Thai massage works not only on muscles and connective tissue, but also works on the energy lines that run through the body. These lines are called the SEN lines. They are similar to the meridians in Chinese medicine or Nadis in Yoga and Ayurveda. By activating these energy lines with the use of acupressure points, the energy in your body will be balanced and stimulated. By communicating with the energy lines, all the muscles and organs can be addressed. Also through reflexology (pressure points on feet / hands / face) this is stimulated.
