Combined power
The theoretical foundation of Thai massage is based on the concept of energy lines running through the body (the ten Sen) also known in yoga as prana. These lines follow more or less the same system lines as acupuncture and acupressure. Thai yoga massage makes use of these acupressure points. A truly good masseur performs the art in a meditative mood and spirit of healing, tuned into the flow of energy. Each massage should begin with a meditative prayer.
Finally the yoga postures used during a massage, manipulates internal organs, stretch muscles and helps keep the body supple. Therefore it is easy to see when Traditional Thai massage is given in the spirit of healing and well being, it is one of the most powerful massages available.
