Thai massage

Practice of the massage

The Thai Massage form of body therapy includes therapeutic stretching, joint mobilization, rhythmic deep-tissue compression, toning of energy lines, acupressure, assisted hatha yoga poses, mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation. Due to the unique form of stretching employed, Thai Massage is sometimes called "lazy man's Yoga." The practitioner is able to direct the intensity of the stretching and pressure points for a much deeper result than one practicing yoga on their own would be able to achieve. Movements are flowing and harmonious, creating a deeply soothing yet energizing effect for both giver and receiver. It is practiced on a firm mat on the floor. It involves peripheral stimulation, acting as an external stimulant to produce specific, internal effects. The effective use of the practitioner's body weight is instrumental in the practice. With the exception of the feet, the client remains fully clothed. Regular application ensures well-being, as well as excellent thermal effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Effects of the thai massage

Traditional Thai massage is really a deep, full-body treatment, starting at the feet and progressing up to the head. Using a sequence of gentle, flowing exercise movements, the recipient's body is moved, loosened and stretched (some stretch applications linked to Yoga) of the joints and the muscles. This unique type of massage influences the energetic side as well, restoring the flow of energy throughout the body with applied acupressure on the sen energy lines of the body, aimed at harmonizing and energizing.

Meridians and Thai massage

The meridians are the energy channels encompassing the body, which is the chi energy to flow like blood in the veins. Our health and diseases are as well depending on the condition of the meridians as blood or lymphatic's. One of the hardest thing is to understand that meridians are not like independent channels, which have to be filled constantly in order to keep the body to work. In contrary: meridians in our body lying in the meridian energy flow no need to "ensure", unless some kind of blocks do not prevent the natural and inherent flow. obstacles are in the way of energy flow, the less energy is moving through our body, and less we are able to take part in the world movement - this is the sickness itself. The task of the healer is not the recovering the energy channels, but to ward off the malfunctions which are against the natural flow of energy.

The eastern view is that it heals the whole body of the fish as well as the water and puts additional minerals into the water in order to ensure the healthy environment to return to.

According to the ancient chienese philosophy the human body is a complex system, in which the balance of Jin and Jang is essential, otherwise the harmonic operation fails, the balance capsized and there is no defence for our body. The fight between "good" and "bad" upsets the body's internal energy and the Yin and Yang balance collapses. In the case of "good" internal energy is strong, "bad" internal energy fades. Otherwise, if the "good" inner energy not enough, the "bad" internal energy intensificates, which adversely affects the operation of the organization. It is important to go for a balanced, healthy life style, good nutrition and regular sport and use the essential supplementary products in order to strengthen our body against the harmful factors.

Foot massage Have you felt that after a long, or even a short walk you have terrible pain in your foot? If yes, you need a refreshing, regenerating Thai foot massage. Why is it becoming more and more popular nowdays to get foot massage? The answer is obvious: the biggest part in our life we spend in shoes. Can you tell when it was last time to walk on the grass or a meadow? Or gravels? To walk on rugged soil reduces blood circulation and it doesn't stimulate the reflex zones of the sole.

Massage improves blood circulation and the corresponding part of the body. Naturally we can not walk without shoes, but we can compensate it with a refreshing foot massage. Thai foot massage at Orchidea Massage Center While comfortably sitting in the armchair half or one hour long, you receive a fantastic treatment starting from your foot above your knee. It is different from the usual massages which are common here in Hungary .A special stick is used also to stimulate the reflex zones.
