 About
traditional Thai massage
Massage has a long history of therapeutic healing in Thailand. It
has been practiced for centuries as it sill is to day. The roots
of Thai Massage are traced back to India. The fonder of the
practice was Jivaka Komarabhacca, a doctor friend, and
contemporary of Buddha, some time about 2,500 years ago. Much of
what is know in Thailand about massage and traditional Massage and
Traditional Massage was handed down orally and thought from one
generation to the next, and teacher to student and often, parent
to child. Most of the ancient medical texts were destroyed in
1776, with the destruction of Ayutthaya by the Burmese. What was
left was literally carved in stone in 1832, when king Rama 3, in
hopes of preserving the tradition of massage, had stone
inscription set into the walls at the temple in Bangkok, called
Wat Poh.
 Therapeutic
massage for treatment of specific conditions and diseases is also
practiced , by only a small number of very skilled people. It
takes several years of study and a good working knowledge of the
language. The Chinese and Indians are thought to have had an
influence in the therapies and treatments developed in Thailand.
The theoretical basis of Thai Massage lies in the theory of
energy lines running through the body. Out of the 72,000 energy
lines said to be in existence, the focus is on the 10 major lines,
called "Sen" Important acupressure points are found on these
lines. Treatments for the whole body, different organs and
diseases are often done using the System of the Ten Sen. Working
on these energy lines will help to remove any blockages and allow
free flow of energy through the body. |
