Origin and benefits of traditional Thai-yoga massage

Traditional Thai-yoga massage is based on the theory of Ayurvedic medicine and yoga. This therapy was transmitted by the teacher to his disciples more than 2500 years ago. Thai massage is an anti-stress method that will improve the physical and mental state, especially when received once a month or more frequently.

What is Thai-yoga massage?

Traditional Thai-yoga massage is a corporal deep exercise that helps to restore our vital energy and re-balances our physical, mental and emotional aspects. This massage is based on acupressure and stretching. The acupressure is given through fingers, hands, feet, elbows and knees and follows the energy lines of the body. Through passive stretching the receiver’s flexibility will increase and the receiver experiences deep relaxation.

On what is Thai-yoga massage based?

Thai-yoga massage is part of the traditional Thai medicine that originated in India in the times of Buddha. The positions and the stretching resemble movements in yoga. Through the intense concentration and sensation in which the massage is being given, both giver and receiver have the feeling they are in a meditative state. The traditional Thai-yoga massage has been influenced by the traditional Chinese medicine which uses acupuncture through the energetic points and the pressures in several key zones of the body. It is based on the holistic vision of the human being, to unite body, mind and spirit.

Why can Thai-yoga massage help us?

Traditional Thai-yoga massage is considered to be preventive and therapeutic. It benefits all those who want to preserve a good state of health and a high level of well-being. Through conscious breathing the body is stimulated within and externally. When it is regularly received the nervous-, respiratory-, circulatory-, digestive- and immune systems will be improved. Thai-yoga massage diminishes stress, relaxes tension areas in the whole body and boosts the energy level. Also, it raises self-esteem, helps to digest, attacks insomnia, increases flexibility, releases physical and energetic blockades and harmonises the psychosomatic relation.

Where did Thai-yoga massage originate?

Traditional Thai-yoga massage was introduced in Thailand by the Buddhist monks who arrived from India during the second and third century B.C. The founder, known as Shivagakomarpaj, was Buddha’s personal doctor. The knowledge of Thai-yoga massage, referred to as traditional Thai medicine, was orally transmitted as were Buddha’s religious texts. Only very few written texts about traditional medicine and massage have been found. Traditionally, Thai-yoga massage was (and still is) received in Buddhist temples and considered to be a sacred practice.
