Dr. George A. Sioris The Knowledge Center Chiangmai THAILAND.Praise for Nuad Thai ‘As someone who knows nothing about the technique of Traditional Thai Massage -- although I have experienced the benefits from it ~ 1 found this book very informative and easy to follow. The step-by-step instructions are all very clear and easily understood. The photographs and illustrations that accompany the text are, again, very clear and match the text perfectly. At no time did I find myself asking, “What are they talking about?”. I was able to follow the whole subject from start to finish with no problem. This is important because many books are filled with too much technical jargon and can be hard to understand. This can be off-putting to the potential new practitioner. Although I have no desire to practice the art of “Traditional Thai Massage”, at no time did I find the subject boring. 1 feel I have gained knowledge from this book, and the next time 1 enjoy a Thai Massage, | shall understand why the various techniques are used, and how my body benefits from them. This book is set to become a valuable guide and reference to not only the novice practitioner, but also the experienced one’s too. Colin Penberthy Chiangmai THAILAND. 3rd December 2546. xii se | “Traditional Thai Mz This therapeutic healing practice has existed in Thailand for more than a thousand years. The history of Thailand shows that the Thai people originated near the border of China. They migrated southwards, finally settling in Southeast Asia. Thailand has been influenced by many different civilizations and cultures. China and India are the two major countries from which many important valuable cultural and religious practices come. Chinese concepts of traditional medicine (including acupuncture and acupressure) and Taoist philosophy and practices both influenced the practice of traditional Thai massage. xiiiDr.Jivaka Kumara Phaccha is the legendary founder of Traditional Thai Ma: He not only inspired the art of massage, but he also contributed the “original knowledge” about healing herbs and minerals Nowadays, one can still find Indian Ayurvedic medicine in Thailand including herbal treatment, massage and steam baths. It is believed that DrJivaka Kumara Phaccha was a doctor from northern India. He is known to have lived at the same time as the Buddha, and he was the personal physician to King Phimpisar over 2,500 years ago. He is honored as the “Father of Traditional Thai Medicine” Before starting a massage the practioner always offers a prayer to honor and remember him. re. “Tox uslu Sane Inunsstole yanee” (Om namo Jivakakomaraphatjo Phuchaya) This is the prayer recited to show respect for Dr. Jivaka umara Phaccha called “Wai Khru”. Before starting the ‘assage the hands are brought together in front of the face and ‘e following words are recited: “Om namo Jivakakomaraphatjo “huchaya” (this is the short version of the prayer)-- I respect © compassionate Jivaka with good conduct. This knowledge about massage was passed down from ne generation to the next by word of mouth. Finally, the "actice, including detailed descriptions of Traditional Thai ‘assage, was recorded on palm leaves in Pali language, with Spect similar to that given Buddhist religious texts. These ‘anuscripts were kept at Ayutthaya (the old capital city of hailand.)In 1767, Ayutthaya was invaded by the Burmese. Their army destroyed many of the precious texts and pictures, leaving only some fragments In the early part of the Rattanakosin period, King Rama III of the Chakri Dynasty (2375 B.E--Buddhist Era or 1832 A.D.) ordered that all fragments of surviving texts describing the art of Traditional Thai Massage be carved in stones. 44 EY > + if + “Sample of the epigraphs that were carved in the stones by the order of his Majesty King Rama IIL of the Chakri Dynasty” SCM CC esac = Prema ce st Maes) Rajwaramahaviham)a royal monasteryAltogether there are 60 figures; 30 represent the front of the body, and another 30 the: back. Each figure shows the energy channels (called “Sen”) with the therapy points. All of these channels form the original basis of Thai Masse The channels indicate the pattern of invisible energy channels; with energy points quite similar to acupressure points in their position and in the way they influence the body and its functions. The vital force flows along Channels or Sen Traditional Thai Massage is based on the concept of vital life force energy that flows along channels in the body called “Sen” to specific energy points. Traditional Thai Massage focuses on the major channels, Ten of them are very important in Traditional Thai Massage. Chiropractic and physiotherapy practices are similar to Traditional Thai Massage but they do not focus on the energy channels and points in the body but are based only on the anatomical structure. Traditional Thai Massage is similar to reflexology and the concepts of stretching. It enhances the knowledge and experience of specialists in the use of therapeutic massage in treating certain diseases. Usually a teacher teaches therapeutic massage directly to a student and it takes a long time to learn properly.According to, Thai Massage theory, the human body remains healthy when it maintains its balance of energy in relation to the energy of the universe. Any imbalance in the flow will result in sickness Working on the energy points can relieve blockages and imbalances in the energy channels. When the energy flows and is in balance, your feeling of well being is restored. You feel good, energized, relaxed, and free from pain and stiffness. Traditional Thai Massage can be applied very shallowly for relaxation, but can also be applied very deeply to target a therapeutic effect. Because it can stimulate the flow of blood and lymph (tissue fluid), the pressure that is applied to the energy points and channels will release energy blockages and stagnation. The combination of pressing and stretching promotes the flow of energy, helping to maintain health and preserve youthfulness. There is freedom from stiffness, loss of flexibility and chronic pain and the energy levels are balanced which enables the person to release emotions. Muscles provide movement of the skeleton by contracting and relaxing. Emotional tension can cause a muscle to become tense, contract, and shorten causing stiffness, aches and pains. Tension also creates an imbalance of force on the spine, resulting in back pain, neck pain, and headaches which speed the aging process. Massage and stretching in traditional Thai massage, will cause the nervous system to release endorphins. The endorphins can relieve pain and produce powerful feelings of health and well being. Ideally, a whole-body massage will take from two to three hours to complete. This is enough time to work on the whole body and still maintain concentration. This does not mean that less time is less effective. It is better to spend time on a few parts of the body, so they can be treated properly instead of speeding up to try to do the whole body. A good practitioner or masseur selects the techniques and sequences according to the needs of the client. There are no fixed rales of thumb in Traditional Thai Massage; this would limit the structure and selection of techniques. Each one has its own style and uses different sequences and variations. Piss There are two main styles of “Traditional Thai Massage”. A. Chaleeysak Massage A native massage, the knowledge of which was passed down from one generation to another. This massage has evolved to provide a variety of techniques and body positions. The four main positions are: 1, supine position (lying on the back); 2. side position (lying on the side); 3. prone position (lying on the stomach or facing down), and 4, sitting position. Birecisnmenene This is a style modified for use at the ancient royal court by the royal physician. This knowledge was passed down from one royal physician to the next. The massage is more deferential, gentle, delicate, and precise. The “Rachasamnak Massage” has only three positions: 1. supine position (lying on the back); 2. side position (lying on the side), and 3. sitting position.oreo cree} Traditional Thai massage is the most effective and comprehensive system to energize and strengthen the body. It promotes the flow of energy in the energy channels (see energy and energy channels in the appendix) and the flow of blood in the blood vessels and capillaries as well as assisting lymphatic drainage. The pressure of deep massage will relax and release the adhesion of the fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles and organs) and allow energy to flow freely. Some people can be very stiff while others are flexible. The important thing is to learn how to recognize what degree of pressure and stretching can be applied to each individual. You must develop a feeling, ‘or the bodies of others. A skilful practitioner always knows exactly how such pressure and movement can be used without causing injury or pain 10 the receiver. Massage can affect people differently. Some people ate more sensitive than others. Some find that deep pressure creates discomfort and a great deal of pain. When you apply force, you should press with your body weight-lifting your body up and leaning forward very nntly while gradually increasing the pressure. Always observe the receiver to see how much pressure he or she can tolerate, releasing the force and moving back when appropriate. Finding the appropriate force clusing a massage requires adjustments to suit each individual.Pressure or force to attain the desired effect takes two forms in Traditional Thai massage: (1) direct pressure and (2) indirect pressure (stretching and twisting). A. Direct Pressure When force is applied with the thumb, fingers or elbow, a small area is covered and penetration into the body is more direct and deep. If force is applied through a larger area, such as the palm of the hand or the heel or sole of the foot, the force spreads out and does not enter as deeply. 1. Thumb Pre ss Techniques a. Single Thumb Press Technique Using the thumb pad, press down very gently, gradually increasing the force (adjusting the force according to the receiver's reaction) Normally this technique is used for massage on a point or in a circular motion. Sometimes it can be combined with the stretching techniques. b, Double Thumb Press Techniques (1) Double Thumb Facing Press the two thumbs with their tips together while resting the other four fingers of each hand on the receiver, (2) Double Thumb Walking This is double thumb facing ombined with a walking motion, Press 1e two thumbs with their tips together and move them along alternately in a alking motion. As one thumb walks, 1e other follows, moving back and forth jong the energy lines. This technique oosens the muscles and tendons and timulates energy flow. (3) Double Thumb Parallel Put the thumbs next to each other ith the other four fingers of each hand upporting on the opposite side of the mb and press both thumbs at the same ime. (4) Double Thumb Overlap Put one thumb on top of the other ‘0 provide more pressure. (5) Palm and Thumb Overlap Put the palm on top of the thumb to exert extra pressure.2. Finger Press Technique Press with the finger tips, this technique is ideal for performing a shallow massage by using an index finger or a deeper massage by using the middle finger. 3, Palm Pressing Techniques These use the palms of the hands to massage large areas of the body. Pressure can be applied and maintained for a few minutes without moving, Keeping your arms straight, slowly press down with the upper body weight on the arms. This technique will generate a strong and sustained pressure, and will achieve a result without fatigue. For a short duration, a rocking motion can also be applied. There are three different techniques of palm pressing a, Single Palm Pressing The Single Palm Pressing technique usually requires use of the palm or the heel of the hand. This technique is used to apply firm pressure to the major tissue masses of the body, such as the thighs, buttocks, and back. b. Double Pata Pressing The Double Palm Pressing technique exerts a concentrated pressure, Placing one hand on top of the other and keeping your arms straight, rock forward, increasing the pressure little by tittle with your body weight, ¢. Butterfly Palm Pressing The Butterfly Palm Pressing technique uses both palms with the heels of the hands touching and the fingers of each hand pointing away from each other. Pressing down with both hands spreads the force evenly over a wide area of the body.4, Pulling Technique a. Press and Pull This uses all four fingers of both hands to press and pull. b. Grab and Pull This uses the thumbs and the four fingers as forceps, to grab, squeeze, and pull. Pulling is done with the thumbs. cooping and Pushing Technique With the fingers of each hand supporting the action, use the fingers of both hands close together to press and scoop in, or press downward and scoop and push out, There are many variations in the | direction and use of this technique. a. Scooping with the Finger Tips b. Scooping with the Edge of the hand c. Seooping with Two Hands | d. Scooping and Pushing (The Kneading Technique) (1) Kneading with one hand Use the fingers to scoop and follow by pushing out with the heel of the palm, as if you were kneading a loaf of bread. (2) Kneading with both hands Use all the fingers of both hands 0 scoop, then push out with the thumbs s if you were kneading a loaf of bread6. Fist Hitting Technique This procedure is usually used in combination with the other techniques to spread the force out after performing the _ pressure techniques. Clench the hands into fists but keep them loose. Using the base or butt of the fists hit along the points or the energy lines after using direct pressure techniques. 7. Patting Technique Pat with very light force around the area with the palms. Patting is generally usec to spread the force after using the direct force techniques but is lighter than the fist hitting technique. 8. Hand Chopping Technique Bring the hands together, with the fingers spread a little bit and loose, then chop with the outer edge of the hands (the little fingers and the outer edge of the palms). Caution: When working on the kidneys, chop very gently. Never chop directly on bones. 9. Spiraling Technique The spiraling technique is the main technique for skin detoxification. Gently use the hand on the abdomen to loosen blockages under the skin and tissues. Begin by massaging with the middle finger or the three middle fingers together in small, tight, clockwise circular motions. The sequence for each point is to press in, spiral, and loosen the skin. Continue to create tight, clockwise circles outward from the previous points that you have been worked on. 0. Rolling Technique Press fimily with the palms and rotate them very gently. This is the technique usually used for belly, the joints of the cnees, ankles, and shoulders. 1. Rocking Technique Use the thumb and fingers of both vands to grasp the muscles while rocking forward and back.Technique Shaking with the Palms Usually this technique used for the belly. Use both palms press down and shake forward and back. b, Shaking with the Finger Tips Use either the index or middle fingers to press down on a knot or problem area. Move the fingers quickly up and down or from side to side. Use two or three fingers to cover a larger area. 13. Elbow Press Technique This technique is used to apply deeper pressure, to work on someone who is lange or fat or on some part of the body that is very muscular or thick such as the thighs, buttocks, and upper shoulders. In these areas, the only way to have an effect is to use the elbow pressing technique. The hard to reach areas where the use of the elbow would not be effective can be accessed with the thumbs or hands. This technique, however, makes use of the tip of the elbow to press straight down or to spiral using the elbow. Press very gently and slowly increase the force little by little (to prevent causing too much pain). 4. Forearm Press and Roll Technique The forearm press and roll technique is for rard pressure and large areas, It uses the edge of the forearm (between inside and outside of the forearm) 0 press down and roll to the outside of the forearm. Then move your forearm forward about half an inch, otess and roll as before. Repeat until the whole area has been treated. This spreads the force and uses less sressure than the other technique. 5. Knee Press Technique Knee presses are used mainly on the buttocks and the backs of the legs. This technique is also often combined with other echniques such as stretching. The nee press will give deep pressure and at the same time free the hands for controlling stretching,16. Foot Press Technique The foot press technique is perfect for applying pressure over large areas and thick muscles of the body such as the thighs, the buttocks and other similar muscular areas. Use the front of the sole of the foot, the arch or the heel. The force can be strong and penetrate deeply although the arch will provide less pressure than the others. Stretching some parts of the body, for example when pulling the feet, requires this technique. Pulling ageinst the foot will give a powerful stretch 17. Buttock Press Technique Sitting on your buttocks let your body weight press on the receiver. Caution: | The practitioner should not be bigger than the receiver, ! Do not practice this technique on areas above the waist more than two inches. 8. Standing Press Technique The pressure from standing can srovide deep penetration for the feet, ‘egs, buttocks, and back. Sometimes he back parts of the body are walked on, starting from the feet up to the back. The practitioner should be the same size or smaller than the receiver ind should not practice this technique above the waist. B @ Indirect pressure (s The stretching and twisting techniques are used as a controlled way to open the connections between the various parts of the body. These techniques have a high sensitivity and are extremely effective, vhich can result in a very powerful and positive result. A good oractitioner always knows exactly how far to take the movement vithout causing pain or injury. Traditional Thai massage is a complex nteraction between the practitioner and the receiver. These techniques vill allow some parts of the body to be reached which the other systems \cave untreated. The techniques used are pulling, pushing, lifting, haking and rotating to achieve the desired results. See details in hapter seven. retching, lifting and twisting) Caution: To prevent serious injury that might be caused by stretching, lifing, twisting, and moving in the wrong position, the practitioner must constantly be aware of the receiver's posture and position. Always observe the receiver's expression, talking the movement just a little further than the recipient is comfortable with. 1314 orn) “Traditional Thai Massage” is based on the concept of energy lines and energy points. The energy lines are a pattern of invisible energy channels. The energy points are similar to the Chinese acupressure points. The energy lines and the energy points cannot be adequately explained using western anatomical language. A. The Feet ‘. The Sole of Foot and the Inner Ankle a. The gate for the sole of the foot is located on the sole, about one third of the way between the base of the second toe and the heel. It is a point called “Bubbling Spring”. b. The three energy lines are located on the sole at (1) The inner edge of the sole, (2) The middle line, andl (3) The outer edge of the sole.c. There are another five 2, The Tendon at the Top of energy lines on the sole. ‘They run the Foot and the Outer Ankle from the front margin of the heel pad to the toes. a. There are two energy points Jocated on the top of the d. The six energy points are oot and another eight energy located at the arch of the sole. points between the grooves of the oes. b, There are four energy lines e. Another three energy n the top of the foot. They run points located around the inner from the middle of the ankles ankle. slown to the toe web (between the bones of the toes).c. There are three energy points around each outer ankle. (1) The first point is located in the depression between the Achilles's tendon and the outer anklebone. This point is the wind gate of the foot. (2) The second point is located in the depression at the inside edge of the outer anklebone (toward the big toe). (3) The third point is located in the hollow below and slightly to the front of the outer anklebone. 3. The Wind Gate of the Feet The gate at the outer ankle is a depression between the ankle and the heel. 1s B. rhe Legs i. The Inner Leg Energy Lines The energy lines run along the ‘ower leg from the ankle to the knee and along the upper leg from the knee to the roin and then to the hip. a. The first line starts above the aner ankle goes along the inner edge of the shinbone, between shinbone and fibula. Then runs under the knee and uns along the outermost edge of the highbone to the groin, b. The second line starts from the inner side of the inner ankle (a depression between the inner ankle and the Achilles’s tendon). It runs up the middle of the inner side of the fibula to end between the tibia bone (shinbone) ‘and the fibula (under the knee). Between the knee and the thigh there is another depression at the side of the knee. Start from this point run under the thighbone \p to the groin (about two and a half. inches down from the pelvis). ¢. The third line starts fiom the Achilles’ tendon and runs along the back f the calf muscle. Passing under the knee, it runs up the back of the thigh (vou can feel the tendon very clearly on the thigh) to the groin. ee The Inner Leg Energy LinesAst 2nd 3rd The Outer Leg Energy Lines 2. The Outer Leg Energy Lines The outer energy lines run along the lower leg from ankle to knee and along the upper leg from the knee to the groin and the hip, a. The first line starts at the outer edge of the ankle (opposite the heel), goes along the inner edge of the shinbone between shinbone and fibula, and runs under the knee. Then it runs along the outer edge of the thighbone to the groin b. The second line starts above the outer ankle, runs along the inner edge of the fibula bone (the space between the tibia and fibula) to the knee, and then runs under the knee to the thighbone and the hip. c. The third line starts from behind the outer ankle (between the outer ankle and the Achilles’s tendon), and runs along the middle in the back of the calf muscle (the outside of the fibula). Then it passes under the knee and runs up along the back of the thigh (in the middle of the muscle behind the thighbone) to the groin. 20° 3. The Wind Gate of the Legs The wind gate is located at the femoral pulse in the crease of the leg and the groin area Wind Gate of the Leg (Femoral pulse) G The Arms The energy line of the arms feed life force (Qi) to the body’s organs. Massaging will clear blockages and smooth the energy flow. 1. Inside Arm Energy Lines (1) The first energy line starts under the wrist behind the humb, runs along the forearm above the edge of the radius bone and along the edge of the humerus nn the upper arm and ends at the deltoid muscle. (2) The second energy line starts from the middle finger and 20es up to the inside of the wrist on the midline of the wrist) and runs between the radius and ulna bones to the armpit where it ends. (3) The third energy line starts on the inside of the wrist chind the little finger runs up the nner arm and ends at the armpit. Inside Arm Energy Lines 22. Outside Arm Energy Lines (1) The first energy line starts at the upper wrist in the depression behind the thumb and runs along the forearm above the edge of the radius to the outer elbow and then up to the shoulder. (2) The second energy line starts in the middle of the upper wrist (in the depression between the radius and ulna) and then runs along the inner edge of the humerus bone to the deltoid muscle, (3) The third energy line starts on the upper wrist, in the depression behind the little finger, and runs up to the back of the armpit. 3. The Elbow This energy point is in the space between the lower arm bone and the upper arm bone. 22 D. e Energy Points an e Hands, the Wrists a 1. There are eight energy points on the palm, 2. There are five energy lines a the palm, They run from the middle of the heel of the palm own to the fingers. 3. There are four energy lines on the back of the hand that run from the middle of the wrist and go besween the ligaments of the hand to the webs of the fingers. 4. There are four energy Points on the back of the hand. These are near the end of the finger’s webs.E. The Back 1. The Energy Lines on the Back The energy lines on the back continue from the third energy line of the outer leg. They start between the Achilles’s tendon and the outer ankle bone and run up the back of the legs (approximately on the: midline) to the lower part of the: buttocks, and then run up along the full length of the spine on both sides of the back. There are two energy lines on each side of the spine. The: inner energy line is about two finger-widths from the midline o the spine and the outer is four finger-widths. These energy lines are the main energy channels of the body. To stimulate the energy flow between the trunk and legs is important. A healthy back should be very flexible and be capable o bending and rotating in many directions. Back pain is very common and can be caused by many things. The techniques of “Traditional Thai Massage” are very powerful and can correct postural imbalances and release muscle spasm to achieve a healthy back. 24 The Energy Points on the Upper Back c. The first and second points are under the inside edge of the shoulder blades (If the receiver places their arm behind their back with the elbow bent and the back of the hand at the waist, the points will be more exposed and easy to reach). First and second points Third and fourth points ‘b. The third and fourth points: are located at the side of the spine between the tenth and eleventh ‘horaci¢c vertebrae. 2526 3. The Waist The waist or “Qi belt” is located above the hip and below the kidneys at about the fourth lumbar vertebra (in line with the navel), 4. The Lower Back, the Buttock, ‘the Hip and the Sacrum a. There are four energy points on the lower back. (1) The first and the second. points are located either side of the spine in the dimple at the top of the sacrum. (2) The third and the fourth points are located on both sides of the tip of the sitting bone (ischium). Energy Point on the Buttock Energy Points on the Buttocks b. There are two energy ooints on the buttocks. These two points are located in a depression in the fleshy part of the buttocks where the muscles cross. c.There are two small cnergy lines on the sacrum, These wo energy lines go along either side of the middle line of the sacrum and the coccyx (tailbone) 4. There is an energy point at the tip of the tailbone (coccyx). This point is located at the tip of he tailbone. Energy Point at Tailbone ‘Two Energy Lines 27F. The Scapula, the Shoulder, the Neck the Head and the Face The scapula, the shoulders and the neck are the connectio1 between the arms and the back, and the back and the head. Shoulde store tension, The blockage of energy flow in this area can cause mat problems such as headaches, shoulder pain and arm stiffness. Relievin shoulder tension will improve energy flow, energize and calm the mind. 1. The Energy Lines on the Shoulder and the Neck (a) The first line starts on either side of the spine in the Ya depressions below the base of the skull three finger-widths to the side of the midline of the spine. It runs from the neck down to the top of thi shoulder (ending at the middle of the trapezius muscle). (b) The second line starts on eithe: side of the spine, below the base of th skull two finger-widths to the side of th midline of the spine. It goes down bet the spine (at the seventh cervical vertebra) and the top of the shoulder. Then splits out to the shoulder and go to the back corner of the shoulder joint. (€) The third line starts below the base of the skull one finger-width to th side of the midline of the spine, goe down between the spine and the scapul to end at the fifth thoracic vertebra. The! end of this area (from the third to the fifth thoracic vertebra) is called “the point of Life and Death” Massage here helps prevent heart attacks and lung) problems. 28 2. The Energy Lines on the Scapula (Shoulder Blade) The energy lines start from edge of the upper scapula and go along the edge of the scapula and end at the armpit. 3. The Three Energy Points at the Base of Skull a, The first point is called the “Jade Pillow” in Chinese acupuncture, This point is located in the connection between the skull and the spine (between the first cervical vertebra of the neck and the occipus). b. The second and the third points are located on the back of the head on either side of the spine, it one finger width from the cervical vertebra where the neck muscles attach to the base of the skull (occipus). 29‘Crown Point 30 4. The Two Energy Points behind the Lower Ear Lobe These two points are located behind the lower ear lobes. We can locate this point by locating the depressions between the lower ear lobe and the jawbone. 5, The Two Energy Points at the Temple These two points are located in the cavities of the temple bones. 6. The “Crown Point” The “Crown Point” is located along the midline at the top of the head. If you draw a line connecting the tips of the ears, the highest point at the top of the head is the Crown Point. This point is called “Baihui” in acupuncture. It means “Hundred Meeting”. The traditional function of this point is to clear the senses, release the wind of the liver, calm the spirit and stabilize ascending “Yang Qi”. ‘The Energy Lines from the Forehead to the Crown and the Back of the Neck. (1)The first line starts between he middle of the eyebrows and runs p to the Crown Point. Then it goes along the midline of the skull down to he neck just below the base of skull (2) The second lines start from he end of both eyebrows, nearest the ose and run parallel to the first line pp to the crown and down to the neck 1st below the base of the skull. (3) The third lines start from the riddle of each eyebrow and run up to the crown and (parallel to the second ines) down to the neck just below the base of the skull. 8. The Energy Lines of the Face (1)There are three lines on the orehead, The first line starts at the orehead just below the hairline nd follows the hairline along both des to the temple bones. The second line is below the rst line about one finger unit. The third line is below the cond line another one finger unit. (2) There are another three nergy lines on the cheeks that also run along both sides to the temple bores. (3) Three more energy lines ‘orm the chin and run along both sides of the face parallel to the jawbone. 3G. The Body Trunk The trunk of the body consists of the chest (thorax) and the abdomen which are separated by a diaphragm. 1, The Abdomen ‘The abdomen is located at the lower part of the body trunk, which contains the stomach, intestines, and other organs. 2. The Chest ‘The chest is located at the upper part of the body trunk, below the neck and above the stomach. It contains the lungs and heart which are covered by the rib cage and sternum. Tntroduce your receiver 10 authentic Traditional Thai Massage with a warm up, by starting with a very gentle and simple massage for the lower part of the body. In this warm-up procedure, both feet can be massaged at the same time, or alternate each hand to massage both feet in a rocking motion. This exercise allows the receiver to prepare themselves to tolerate and cooperate with the massage. The warm up will also open the “gates” to the lower parts of the body. By pressing and releasing the pulse, the blood flow will be increased, causing friction between the blood and the blood vessels. This friction brings a nice, warm sensation down the legs. It will stimulate circulation, break down obstructions in the blood vessels, and promote retumn blood flow. When applying pressure, always start with light pressing and slowly increase the pressure. 33A good practitioner, masseur or masseuse performs the art with “loving Kindness”. Kneeling at the receiver’s feet with the receiver in the Supine Position, the practitioner starts with a meditative prayer called the “Wai Khru”. Bringing the hands together at the chest, bend the face down and forward and pray “Om Namo Jivakakomaraphatjo Phuchaya”, ‘This. action pays respect to the past generations of teachers and asks for guidance and help in dealing with releasing the physical and emotional problems in the receiver.
