Learn About Thai Massage (Continued)

When seeking help at the temple, they were treated with four elements of traditional Thai medicine:

1. Nutritional - Counseling (focusing on diet)
2. Herbs - given both internally and externally
3. Spiritual Counseling - primarily meditation and the Buddhist principles
4. Thai Massage - which forms the backbone of the physical treatment. Unlike the scooping and continuous strokes of the Western massage, the Thai method uses pressure points, muscle stretching and compression performed in a rhythmic movement of gentle rocking. Therapists not only use their hands to free tension from the client's body, but also their feet, forearms, knees and elbows are used. The work is one fully clothed and no oils are required. This procedure is performed on a floor mat allowing full use of the therapist's body.  

Thai medical massage can move deeper into the mechanical functions of the body, working with deep muscle tension and joint mobility as well as nerve, muscle and ligament balancing. Thai massage improves flexibility, reduces tension, stimulates internal organs, and balances the body’s energy system.
