Thai/Barefoot Massage
What is it?
Thai/Barefoot Massage is a combination of influences from Indian and Southeast Asian traditions of medicine. It is one of the four branches of traditional healing in Thailand. The other branches are herbs, nutrition and spiritual practices. The history of Thai/Barefoot massage can be traced back to over 2,500 years ago. It truly is an ancient practice of massage. The founder of this amazing healing art is Jivata Kumar Rharcha. He was an Indian physician who treated Buddha and other prominent figures during his time. Over the centuries this powerful modality evolved within Thailand's temples and medical schools. It was taught and practiced by Buddhist Monks as a component of religious ceremonies and healthcare practices. The massage techniques were passed down through generations with each master adding their insights and methods. Thai/ Barefoot Massage is a mixture of muscle and joint stretching and pressure points of the body's Sen Energy Lines. Throughout the massage there is breathe work with each movement. This promotes a reduction of stress and increase a sense of calm and wellness.
Benefits of a Thai massage
By using stronger force on the body's muscle, the provider is able to get deeper in connective tissue without discomfort from thumbs and elbows, used in a traditional massage. Since the strokes on the body and muscles are longer and more consecutive, the relief lasts longer than a traditional massage.
