Numbness or loss of feeling in conditions such asĮach treatment is created to suit your needs. What are the therapeutic benefits of Traditional Thai Massage? What Are The Benefits And Who Can Experience A Treatment? The focus, therefore, is on those areas that are closed or experiencing dis-ease. There are parts of the body that will already be open. The five layers that are worked in order are The skin, Tissue (primarily the fat, fascia, and muscle), The Sên (the channels and grooves between large muscle groups), Bone (through the range of motion and traction), and Organs (addressed through the abdomen).įinally, another important difference is that a Thai element bodywork treatment is not concerned with treating the entire body. This may mean some layers are not worked, as the preceding layer may not open. When working on an area, the intention is to work each layer to the point where it is “open” before proceeding to the next.
“…a Thai element bodywork treatment is not concerned with treating the entire body.”Īnother important difference is that Thai bodywork treatment has its foundation in the five layers of the body. The focus of any treatment is on those aspects discovered during the intake process. A treatment will tend not to start at the feet and move up the body, finishing with the head. When treating a patient, there is no sequence. The expectation is that a healer diagnoses a range of pathologies through a traditional medicine lens.Ī typical patient intake process can include one or more of the following diagnoses: Five senses, Digestive, Pulse, Tongue, and other diagnostic markers. Thai bodywork is treated as an integral part of traditional medicine there’s no separation between bodywork and other therapies, as there is in modern Western healing arts. Not only is a Thai medical theory consultation longer, it includes a traditional disease diagnosis. “When treating a patient, there is no sequence.”įor starters, the consultation is very different. Using Thai element theory, Thai point theory along with an understanding of the causation of dis-ease, to guide how the treatment is conducted for a patient, is what makes the work Thai. What makes the modality Thai, is the deeper knowledge and application of theory. Not exactly what most people would consider being a Thai Yoga Massage! Working with an understanding of traditional Thai medical theory, Thai anatomy and physiology, someone with a Fire imbalance, may need to have coconut oil rubbed over them, as coconut oil has a cooling effect.
The body is seen as being composed of Earth and Water, and animated by Fire and Wind. Thai bodywork has its roots in traditional Thai medical theory.
