Traditional Thai massage has its roots extending back deep into history, and was developed from ancient Chinese acupuncture. Together with local herbal medicine, Traditional Thai massage was used to cure the ills of village folk in the days before doctors become a part of the everyday scene. Based on a system of lines of energy believed to flow through the body, Traditional Thai massage uses pressure at the intersections of these lines to unblock the flow of energy. The custom of taking a regular massage is still practiced today, as it has been proven to aid good health and long life. Some people today believe that traditional massage is doomed, however this fear is nothing new. Two hundred years ago King Rama III, alarmed at the dwindling number of practitioners of ancient massage ordered that all tenets of the precious knowledge should be carved on stone, in case they may be irrevocably lost. These inscribed slabs can be seen today in the compound of Wat Po, one of the most famous centers of traditional massage. Following this tradition, some establishments have employed masseuses trained from the oldest academy in Thailand and offer special courses tailor-made to the customer requirements. Traditional Thai massages usually follow the same basic principles, but the style may not always be the same, with the emphasis on certain methods varying from place to place. Traditional Thai masseuses do not only press the parts the patient can’t reach, but also stretch the patient in a variety of different ways. One of the main areas in need of attention is the spine. One of the standards stretching routines for this main pillar of the body is to bend the patient over backwards, so that the spine rests on the masseuse’s upright knees. It is a spectacular trick that needs to be done just right if its not to cause more harm than good. The good masseuses usually start on the legs, proceed through every nook and cranny of aches and tension, and finish with a facial tone-up.
