Abstract
Thai massage is of inestimable value for the stimulation of the self healing process. But Thai massage therapists also have to know the limitations of the treatment.
Of course Thai massage therapists also have to know the limitations of the treatment. In cases of the disease of inner organs, chronicle diseases and degenerative processes the effect of Thai massage is to be evaluated in a new way. In such cases the main function of Thai massage is the stimulation of the self healing process. Hereby Thai massage can be a complement of inestimable value for other methods of treatment.
However it is unrealistic to view Thai massage, or any form of massage, as a panacea. Also in Thailand it is recognised that it is dangerous, in case of disease, to relay exclusively on Thai massage, without consulting a medical doctor.
It is advisable to perform Thai massage in a positive atmosphere, to support the recreation process. A simple and plain room decoration will have a calming effect. Pleasant, exhilarating colors and pictures with harmonic landscapes, flowing water and flowers contribute to relaxation. Dim light or the light of a candle mediates the feeling of coziness.
Fragrances can also have a positive effect on the mind. The usage of joss sticks with higher quality improves our well being in a way not to be underestimated. Memories of fragrances are stored in our mind even after a long time. The supporting effect of a pleasant fragrance is thereby still enhanced, when applied repeatedly.
The Thai massage treatment is nowadays gladly supported by pleasant music and ethereal oils if desired. Thereby the treated person immerses into a world of positive sensations and is able to leave bigger or smaller burdens behind. The affect of a one and a half or two hour Thai massage is best described by the pleasant and freed feeling of the body one has after an intensive Yoga class followed by a massage.
