What are the Thai massage techniques

I have heard of massage techniques, Thai style, is this boxing? Just like boxing, have you heard of Thai massage techniques? Have you ever experienced this? I haven't had it either, but I have seen that Thai massage techniques are not only very pleasurable, I would like to introduce them to you.

Thai massage is one of Thailand's ancient medical cultures with a history of more than 4,000 years. Ancient Thai royal family used it as one of the methods to strengthen the body and treat physical strain. [1] In recent years, with the regulatory development and active promotion of the Thai government, Thai massage has become widely known and has become a natural treatment valued by both Chinese and foreigners. Thai massage originated in the western part of ancient India. Its founder was Jivakokumar, the royal physician of the Indian king. He is still regarded as the father of medicine by the Thai people. His traditional medicine and massage knowledge and techniques were brought to Thailand by missionary monks and summoned by the King of Thailand, who widely absorbed their valuable experience in traditional medicine and massage, and engraved it on marble and inlaid it on the walls of the corridors of Wat Pho in Wat Bo. And become a base for training traditional Thai massage.

Thai health massage is a type of massage popular in Thailand. It focuses on moving joints and does not involve acupuncture points. It is different from Chinese massage. It is easy to learn, of moderate difficulty and highly practical. Thai massage places great emphasis on stretching the back and waist. The masseur starts from the toes and works all the way to the top of the head, massaging from the feet toward the heart. The techniques cover almost all actions such as pressing, touching, pulling, tugging, kneading and pinching. Thai massage is a kneeling service, with alternating movements of the left and right hands, with soft and even force, moderate speed and sequential execution. Thai health massage after bathing can help people quickly eliminate fatigue, restore physical strength, enhance the elasticity and vitality of joint ligaments, restore normal joint movement function, and achieve the effects of promoting body fluid circulation, health care and disease prevention, and body fitness and beauty.

In addition to the familiar joint relief, traditional Thai massage also has its own theory of meridian and acupoint pressing and stretching. Use fingers, arms, knees and legs to massage each other's acupoints, press and stretch muscles and joints to restore balance of body, mind and soul, promote blood circulation, normal functioning of respiratory, nervous and digestive systems and muscle and skin metabolism. Do it regularly to keep your mind and body in top condition. Thai massage includes: Sino Thai massage, Thai oils, etc. Thai massage was the highest etiquette used by ancient Thai kings to entertain royal guests.

Thai massage techniques: 1. Point (pressure) method 2. Kneading (holding) method 3. Pushing method 4. Chopping and knocking method 5. Stepping (kneeling) method 6. Joint movement method

Thai massage is the most intense of all massages and does not require the use of massage oil. The masseur starts from the toes and massages upwards to the top of the head, with the back, waist and joints being the focus of the massage. The masseur uses his hands, arms, feet and the weight of his whole body to roll, stretch and pull the client's body to stimulate muscles and connective tissue. You will feel pain during the massage, especially for first-time users, as they may not be able to withstand the large movements of Thai massage. The responsible masseur will communicate with the user about the intensity of the massage and remind them to completely relax their body and not to strain.

Main effect: Enhance body flexibility:

If you want to move your joints, relax your muscles, and increase your body flexibility, but are unwilling or do not have the time to actively exercise, you might want to try Thai massage. This kind of massage is actually passive yoga performed on the participants. It uses unique pushing, pulling, kicking, shaking and stepping techniques to act on the muscles, fascia and joints by pressing the feet, waist and spine. After the massage, it feels like performing high-intensity exercise. (Other effects: relieve physical and mental fatigue, accelerate fat burning, regulate gastrointestinal and other organ functions, and enhance immunity).

Thai massage techniques are indeed different. Does that mean I don’t need to exercise if I massage every day? It’s good for exercising. Actually, I don’t know. After all, it’s Thai massage technique, which is different from Chinese massage method. But I feel great after the massage. Comrades, let’s go for a massage.
