Thai Foot Massage
Thai Foot Massage combined with Reiki Energy Healing (Holy Fire)
Traditional Thai Foot Massage is a unique and powerful therapy and an ancient form of therapeutic healing. Its roots are in India from where it was brought to Thailand over 2000 years ago by Ayurvedic doctors and Buddhist monks. It combines acupressure, energy balancing and stretching with applied yoga exercises. As Buddhism proliferated throughout India, it carried with it this healing medicine. In its early development it found its way to Southeast Asia and for centuries, it was performed by monks as one element of indigenous Thai medicine. Whereas most traditional western and eastern massage practices focus on tissue manipulation and the working of the muscles and joints, Thai Massage barely touches on either of these. It is more a manipulation of the pressure points, energy lines, and basic body forces which together produce a highly therapeutic effect. There are four elements of traditional Thai medicine:
Traditional Thai Foot Massage is practised everywhere in Thailand today and is a primary component of Traditional Thai Medicine. Using thumbs, hands and a wooden acupressure tool, massage is applied to the lower legs and feet using rubbing, kneading, stretching and vibration techniques.
· Pressure points are thought to be areas along "energy lines" which some consider as metaphor and others take to be real. Energy lines in Thailand are called 'Sen Lines'
Sen Lines correspond to the Meridians of Chinese medicine and the Nadi of Indian yogic tradition.
In Thailand, it is the belief that there are 72,000 Sen lines; 10 are considered to be principal Sen lines.
By focusing on these ten energies, or Sen Lines, we work on Reflex/ pressure points on the feet which correspond to various internal organs, through which life energy, prana, Chi or Ki flows. It is believed that blockages within the flow will result in pain, illness or disease. By working along these lines with pressure, and by stretching the lines, blocked energy can be released and functions balanced - much like the practice of Acupuncture, Acupressure and Shiatsu.
Traditional Thai Foot Massage can be effective in relieving various dysfunctions and disorders; but it is also a wonderful treatment to promote overall health, increase energy and to provide a general sense of wellbeing.
