Abstract
Thai massage can ease widespread discomforts like pain in the lower back, arthritis, headache, digestive disorders and conditions caused by stress.
In Thai massage ten energy lines, of the 72000 described in the Indian tradition, can be found. These ten energy lines are called sip sen in Thailand and in their course approximately correspond to the Indian nadis. Comparisons are also possible to the meridians from Chinese medicine, which are by now more widely known in western cultures. These energy lines, sip sen, are in contact with pressure points, the so called marmas. The massage of the sen is promoting the free flow of prana By stretching and massaging this system of energy lines tension is relieved. The whole body becomes more supple and the mind relaxes.
Even if an illness or injury of a certain part of the body is to be treated, a Thai massage therapist will typically work on the corresponding acupressure points, the marmas. Connected through the network of energy lines, sen, the acupressure points will stimulate and calm the body and mind of the treated person. The natural self healing process is thereby promoted.
When the body was opened by Thai massage, the energy can flow more freely. The harmonization of the energy system contributes to easing widespread discomforts like pain in the lower back, arthritis, headache, digestive disorders, pre menstrual syndrome and conditions caused by stress. Through Thai massage a deep state of relaxation is obtained.
Thai massage improves blood circulation, flexibility and the tone of the muscles. In many cases, like exhaustion of the muscles, fatigue, contortions and sprains, a correctly applied Thai massage can play a vital role for the regeneration of the damaged tissue.
This mixture of acupressure and stretching is especially advantageous for those people who feel stiff, have pain or feel tired from exhaustion doing sports or working to much. Not to forget the positive effect of Thai massage when having discomfort through arthritis or other diseases which affect mobility. Thai massage can help those patients to regain the lost ability of movement in most cases.
The promotion of the lymphatic function, through massage of the deep tissue and the stretching, supports the detoxification of the body, improves the immune system, obviates diseases and injuries, improves the flexibility and supports tendons and joints in their function.
