Treatments

Thai massage is one of the ancient healing arts of traditional Thai medicine, the others being herbal medicine and spiritual meditation. Traditional Thai massage has been practiced for at least one thousand years. Thai massage takes its roots from Tui Na Chinese massage and manipulation, Ayurvedic Indian massage and Japanese Shiatsu massage, which dates back over 4000 years. Indian yoga has a very obvious influence in Thai massage and this is apparent in the extremely disciplined manner in which the energy channels known as Sen are treated.

Sen is the name given to the flow of the body's vital life energy. This energy powers all the physical, mental and emotional processes which will only function normally when energy supply matches demand. The careful application of pressure along these channels help to release any energy blockages and stagnation. The pressing and stretching of muscles makes them more receptive to this flow.
