Thai-Yoga Massage and European Massage Training in Manila, Philippines

Thai massage is a very unique form of massage. Instead of the rhythmic rubbing, tapping, or kneading done in most forms of massage, it is highlighted by intensive stretching, elongating, along with deep massage. If you have ever watched someone practicing Yoga, you are going to discover your body assuming many of the same positions, but with almost no effort on your part.
   
Relaxation is one of the most important ingredients you must bring to a Thai massage. Your masseuse is going to have you laying on a mat on the floor. You will be wearing loose fitting clothes which move freely on your body. The clothes may be clothes you wore into the session, or they may provide you with a loose fitting set of cotton pants and top. Once you are on the floor, your job is to completely relax, and allow your masseuse to do all the work. This may sound easy, but for many people they wish to use their own muscles to assist in the movements, you will understand why in a moment.

Thai-Yoga Massage

Known in Thailand as นวดแผนโบราณ (Nuad phaen boran), meaning "ancient/ traditional massage", Thai-Yoga Massage originated in India and is based on ayurveda and yoga. It was believed that the massage art was brought over to Thailand by Shivago Komarpaj over 2500 years ago. The technique combines massage with yoga-like positions during the course of the massage; the northern style emphasizes stretching while the southern style emphasizes acupressure.

The healing practice of Thai-Herbal Compress Therapy dates back nearly 5,000 years. This herbal therapy was designed to relieve pain and inflammation. A selection of therapeutic herbs, including prai, ginger, turmeric and lemongrass, are wrapped in a muslin compress, steamed and then applied to the body in gentle pressing, circular and rolling movements. In Thailand, the herbal compress is called luk pra kob, translated as “herbal pressing sphere.” To make the compress, a combination of healing herbs is bundled together in accordance with ancient recipes, steamed and placed directly on the skin to soothe muscular aches and swelling.
