 Traditional Thai massage is basically different from methods developed and used in Europe. It is based on the self-curing strength of the body, it means a complex method that enhances the harmony of body, soul and spirit.
According to the Eastern medical traditions, the prerequisite of health is the unhindered flow of life energy (chi) in the body’s energy channels. Thai massage concentrates on 10 main energy lines (channels) that are called sen. Its basic goal is to create harmony in the human body, release energy blocks and supply shortages of the energy lines.
 Thai massage is a so-called dry massage since no oils and creams are used. During the treatment the guest wears light clothes made of cotton. The procedure, applied on the whole body, has a special choreography. During the massage, which takes 1,5-2 hours, the masseur (unlike in European massages) is not only working with hands but also using forearms, legs, knees, elbows and feet to stimulate physiological acupuncture points on the energy lines. The massage also includes different stretching and bending exercises. The use of kyropractic elements makes it unique. Massage on the given points of the body helps total relaxation; accelerated blood circulation improves the body’s oxygen supply, making the body lax, calm and refreshed, which results in a good general feeling.
Regular massage proved to be a good therapy for different locomotor disorders, nervous, lymphatic, digestive, gynaecological and respiratory diseases. However it can be applied for the treatment of insomnia, stress, headache and migraine.
Treatments lead to proper energy flow inside the patient, which improves the balanced work of the body, detox and recovery. Stimulation of reflex points reveals hidden diseases.
