The goal of the weekend many times it to prepare themselves mentally and physically for the week to come. One way this can be accomplished is through a Thai massage. The goal of this form of massage is to promote internal health by increasing flexibility of muscles and increasing circulation to all parts of the body. Booking in a Thai massage at a reputable spa, will allow you to enter your work week feeling rejuvenated and ready to conquer the world.
What is Thai massage?
This type of massage is also called Yoga massage because it combines the principle of yoga with a deep, comforting massage. The masseuse will put you in different positions while deeply and rhythmically massage your entire body. This will improve your flexibility and make you feel deeply relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time. The session is done with no oils or lotions and you will remain in clothes the entire time. The session will depend on how long you book in for. It will involve stretching and kneading the entire body beginning with the feet and working up. The focus of this type of massage is on pressure points which supposedly unlock energy within the body to promote healing from the inside out.
Origin dates back to the time of Buddha
This type of massage is based on an ancient healing system that uses acupressure, yoga and Indian Ayurvedic principles. It is based on a system of holistic beliefs. The founder of this type of treatment was actually called the “father of medicine”. He was a doctor named Jivaka Kumar Bhacca. He lived during the time of Buddha and was known for his phenomenal medical skills and use of herbal medications. It is said that he even treated the revered Buddha himself.
The body needs balance in ‘Sen’
The philosophy behind this type of treatment is that the body needs to be in balance in order to be healthy and have vitality. ‘Sen’ are thought to be passages for energy that travels along with our blood vessels. The belief is that when these passages are blocked, energy will stop flowing and we will feel ill. That is the basis for concentration on circulation throughout the entire body. The treatment acts externally to stimulate the internal passages, which will free energy and make you feel invigorated.
Yoga without all the work
Yoga has long since been thought to have great effects on the people who could master the poses and breathing that go along with it. It does require extreme flexibility and most of us are not able to get into some of those positions that are required in order for us to feel the positive effects of the exercise. What this type of massage does is have someone assist you into these positions and massage the body at the same time. It creates the same benefits of oxygenation of the blood and alignment of your posture that yoga accomplishes without having to do the poses yourself.
Thai massage is just the treatment you need to get yourself ready to take on the world. It rejuvenates the body and spirit, which will prepare you mentally and physically for the rigors of the work week. Take a day during the weekend to visit a reputable massage therapist and treat yourself to a traditional Thai massage. You owe it to yourself.
