Traditional Thai massage is also known as Nuat Phaen Boran (Nuad Boran), by the people of Thailand. Nuat Boran means ancient massage, but you don’t have to be from Thailand, or Buddhist to enjoy a traditional Thai massage.
Preparation
The techniques of Thai massage are based on rhythmic compression on energy points or Sen lines, stretching, and movements for joints that look a lot like yoga positions.
Thai massage doesn’t look anything like what is considered “a massage” in western countries since it is performed on a mat on the floor and the client stays fully clothed through the whole process.
Techniques
Trained professional that is performing the Thai massage uses almost the whole body to guide the client to certain yoga positions while being focused on his own body. The practitioners use their palms, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet to stretch and press the client. When the practitioner finds the tension spot, he can hold the pressure on the spot for a long time to release it.
Positions
The Thai massage consists of four positions: sitting, laying on the stomach, on the back, and on the side. These four positions don’t have to be necessarily performed in every session. It is up to the age, condition, and flexibility of the receiver to decide what positions are going to be used.
Thai massage uses the body weight of the practitioner to pressure, stretch, and manipulate the body position of the receiver, which results in your ultimate emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits.
