Physical Manipulation 

The main goal of Thai massage is to relieve pain and improve flexibility. The practitioner uses their hands, elbows, knees, feet, and even sometimes their forearms to press on specific points on the body in order to loosen up tense muscles and joints. This type of bodywork can help reduce inflammation in the muscles, which can be beneficial for those suffering from chronic pain or injury. Additionally, it can help improve circulation throughout the body and release any trapped energy that may have accumulated due to stress or tension. 

Energy Work 

Thai massage also focuses on energy work through the use of reflexology points located along the energy pathways known as sen lines. These reflexology points correspond with different organs in the body and when these points are stimulated it helps balance any imbalances in the energy flow within the individual’s body. This helps promote relaxation and encourages overall well-being by restoring harmony within all systems of the body—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
