Frequently asked questions
.What is Thai massage?
Thai massage – also known as Thai Yoga Massage, or informally as ‘the lazy person’s yoga’ – combines assisted yoga with acupressure techniques. The therapist will incorporate yogic stretching movements as they knead and press muscles along the body’s energy lines with the hands and feet. Thai massage combines the principles of acupressure whereby the Sen is stimulated, which is said to balance the energy system in the body.
The passive stretching can also help to open up the body which can help increase flexibility and relieve tension within the joints and the muscles. A Thai massage treatment typically begins at the feet with the client lying face down and is more energetic and rigorous than your usual massage. The therapist will also often use their hands and feet to apply pressure, and the treatment usually is done through the clothes, although oils and lotions can sometimes be used if requested.
A brief history of Thai massage
Thai massage is said to have been founded over 2500 years ago by doctor and physician Jivaka Komarabhacca, who was personal physician to the king of India at the time, Magadha King Bimbisara. Dr Jivaka, noted by many names in the ancient Buddist scripts - Shivago Komarpaj, Dr. Jivago, Jivacca Komarapaj to name a few – was known for his extraordinary skills in traditional Indian medicine (eg. Ayurveda), but was also skilled in the art of meditation and Asana. He is often referred to as the “Father Doctor” or “Father of Medicine” and it is custom to pray to him for guidance and inspiration before starting a massage or at the end of the treatment. This prayer is called Wai Khru, still frequently carried out in Thailand today.
Dr. Jivaka was also a friend and personal physician to Buddha, and provided free medical care to him and other monks in the monasteries. Thai yoga massage was an integral part of the Buddist religion and the massage technique eventually spread to the Thai people, and after the Thai Massage Revival Project in 1985, it made its way to America and to the rest of the world.
