Thai Massage
- Posted onDecember 27th, 2011
The ancient art of Thai Massage dates back over 2000 years to the temples and traditions of Buddhism and even Buddha himself.
Thai Massage is considered by some to be the mother of all bodyworks but to describe it simply in these terms does it a grave injustice. Unlike most therapies which focus in on a certain aspect of the body or mind, Thai Massage encompasses our whole being by working on our muscles, skeleton and the internal energy within our body, considered so important in Eastern philosophies. With deep stretches (often assisted with yoga-like postures), compression of muscles by palm pressure, joint mobilisation and acupressure along sen (energy) lines and on acupressure points, Thai Massage is the total workout and reconnection our body, mind and soul are so often seeking.
The unhurried gentle rocking and rhythmical style of Thai Massage, together with the moves and postures designed to open up the energy channels, can often induce a meditative state, where all sense of time is lost (it is not unusual for this state to be reached within just 10 minutes!). This ‘state’ enhances our body’s ability to heal itself and restore inner balance by instilling complete relaxation and calm.




I’ve had my share of Thai massages but this one just blew those out of the water. Very few places make me want to shout immediately afterwards but I just got back from an out-of-this-world experience courtesy of Noisy.
