Most people associate traditional Thai massage with something exotic and intimate, but in reality, erotic elements are not present during the procedure. The history of this practice dates back 2,500 years. During that period, the Indian healer Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha shared his knowledge in Thailand about healing effects on the body's energy channels.
Varieties
Today, massage salons offer visitors either the classic type or one that uses aromatic oils. The second option is a modern offshoot of traditional massage. Depending on the intensity of the manipulation, the client can choose one of three levels — light, medium, or strong. In the latter case, the therapist uses their elbows and feet.
During a traditional massage, the specialist works on the meridians, joints, specific points, and muscles. Taking into account the body's capabilities and breathing rhythm, the therapist helps the person move into the required position, without causing pain or discomfort. The technique is performed in comfortable clothing using the palms, elbows, hands, feet, knees, and fingers, over a period of 30-120 minutes.
Benefits
Even after a single visit to the spa salon, a person feels different — rested, full of strength and energy, and free of stress and fatigue. Many visitors come to ROYAL THAI SPA to relieve stress or muscle tension, and to get rid of discomfort in the back and shoulders.
As a result, you are guaranteed to get:
- body relaxation and increased flexibility;
- relief from tension, stagnation, and stress;
- improved blood circulation, emotional state, and health.
The first sessions may bring slight discomfort, due to blocked energy channels and psychological tension. By the third session, most clients fall asleep and reach a state of complete tranquility.
Restrictions
Like other manipulations, the therapist's work on the meridians has its own precautions. These include:
- pregnancy;
- certain types of illness (acute respiratory infections, skin conditions, hypertension);
- age under 14 and over 65 — such clients require an individual approach;
- menstruation;
- being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Therefore, before booking an appointment at the spa salon, consult a doctor to make sure you have no individual restrictions.
