Generality
Thai massage or Thai massage is a type of massage originating in Thailand.
According to legend, the spread of massage techniques in Thailand occurred thanks to the codification made by the Indian doctor Shivago Kumar Baj, approximately, around the fifth century BC .. This figure is still considered today in Thailand as the father of medicine.
However, despite the legends that circulate about it, the origins of this form of massage are still unclear today.
Thai massage is characterized by the execution of various types of manipulations, including pressure, stretching and stretching, which are associated with yoga techniques.
Thai massage aims to bring physical and mental benefits. In Thailand, Thai massage is usually considered part of traditional Thai medicine.
What is Thai massage?
Thai massage is a particular type of massage typically Thai, but whose origins are not entirely clear. Despite the enigma about the true origin of this type of massage, it is believed that it derives from a combination of knowledge of Ayurvedic medicine, yoga and traditional Chinese medicine plus Buddhist influences.
What is Thai massage used for?
The goal that the Thai massage sets itself is to bring benefits also on a spiritual and mental level.
The manipulations, in fact, according to what is foreseen by tradition, are carried out with the intention of stimulating the energy channels - called "Sen" - that run through the body of each individual.
In this way, it should facilitate the restoration of the correct flow of energy in the body, whose alteration or blockage can be - according to the philosophy behind the Thai massage - cause of discomfort and disorders.
Other names of Thai massage and different styles Thai massage is called by several other names: traditional Thai massage, classic Thai massage, traditional therapeutic massage, Thai yoga massage and Siamese massage.
The latter name derives from the fact that this massage was practiced in the empire of Siam (present-day Thailand), also known as the kingdom of Rattanakosin, the fourth kingdom of the Siamese. Initially, Thai massage was practiced exclusively in the royal palace at the court.
Later, some "popular" versions also spread. Today it is possible to distinguish two main styles of Thai massage: Court style, Tahi Royal or Rachasamnak style: it is the style that was practiced in the royal palace. Since at its origin the teaching of Thai massage was handed down from the teacher to the student only in verbal form, it is likely that some of the original manipulations have been lost.
Despite this, there are still some schools that are concerned with preserving and teaching the art of Thai massage that refers to the original court style. Popular style or Chaleeysak style: it is the popular and "less cultured" style; it is practiced in a different way than what was originally practiced in the royal palace of the Siam empire.
The two styles differ in the manipulations performed and in the positions made to assume the massaged. To give an example, the popular style Thai massage involves the supine position, the prone position, the position on the right side, the position on the left side and, finally, the sitting position. The Thai court style massage, on the other hand, does include the aforementioned positions, except for the prone position which is not contemplated.
