Dedicated masseuses - genuine Thai massage

Our masseuses have from a very early age prepared for pursuing their present career. Following a course of stringent theoretical and practical training, they first started their health preservation activities in Thailand, in some of the most reputable Thai massage centres, and then came to Europe. They have for many years demonstrated in Hungary, too, the highest standards of the health preservation science of massage.

 

Massage is one of the best cures for the evils of the western lifestyle

 

Unhealthy lifestyle

 

While modern societies have significantly improved living standards in the past one hundred years, are able to offer (the promise of) a number of advantages and financial benefits and induce us to achieve an ever higher level of wealth and comfort, a lifestyle revolving around material riches involving tension, permanent fears, stress and habits almost in denial of health is able to take all of these advantages and benefits away from us or renders them unenjoyable.

Beyond doubt, a hurried lifestyle with its day-to-day struggles has a negative impact on human life and the quality of life, and the (permanent) destructive psychological pressure, stress, the lack of exercise, bad posture, one-sided physical activity and the lack of relaxation may lead to the development of an asymmetrical muscle tone. Permanent, involuntary tension in some muscle groups, in particular, in the muscles around the neck and the shoulders, may reduce the blood supply of the brain which may lead to the general debilitation of the cognitive functions but may also cause headaches, digestive problems, depression, a degree of enervation, a general lack of energy, inexplicable bursts of aggression or may reduce our level of tolerance or may debilitate the immune system.

Most regrettably, modern man does not attribute particular significance to massage, this fully explored effect mechanism comprehensively observed by the people of years past. Modern man does not regularly examine the signs of his body and soul, does not make conscious efforts to avoid harmful effects and, very often, neglects his state of health to a degree where physical and mental deterioration is beyond repair.

Consequently, progress in the financial department often leads to a debilitated spiritual and physical state which makes our favourite objects, the symbols of our wealth and products designed to entertain unenjoyable and worthless at best. In a worst-case scenario, our health, human and family relations may take a fatal turn.

 

Our ancestors, too, enjoyed the benefits of massage

 

Human civilisation has for thousands of years known, required and used the various acupressure techniques, according to the first written records, since 4000 B.C. Thai massage is one of the most recognised genres of these techniques.

Humanity soon discovered that massage was one of the most pleasant, while perfectly natural, methods for preventing and curing illnesses. Massage therapy not only refreshes the muscles, skin and blood circulation but clearly has a positive effect on the nervous system as well. Massage activates the para-sympathetic nervous system, thereby balancing out the negative reactions of the body to stress, relieves involuntary muscle tension and permits the restoration of a normal heart beat, blood pressure and circulation.

Massage in the animal kingdom

 

It may seem surprising that we may find the need for massage also in the animal kingdom. For instance, we may observe how felines regularly perform stretching „exercises" or repeat a series of relaxation movements while they rest. A further example is the way primates often caress and massage one another, or perform playful stretching movements. At the same time, our pets also demonstrate how much they enjoy and require bodily care and well-intended physical contact.

 

Curative effect of massage

 

Massage is able to prevent the development of a number of civilisation-related and degenerative illnesses, alleviates complaints, reinforces and boosts the human body. We may often experience quite incredible results in the course of massage treatments, such as, for instance, the self-curing capacity of massage. At the same time, a well-performed, careful, personalised massage rejuvenates you, results in a positive outlook on life and in physical and spiritual recreation, and relieves stress, a phenomenon that has most regrettably become a permanent part of our day-to-day life.

Without supplying the historical details in full, we may claim that massage is a continuously evolving and ever more widely used health preservation method. We do not know the exact origin of the word massage. According to research, it may equally originate from the Greek word massein (rub, knead), the French word massage, the Hebrew word mases and the Arabic word mass (caress, press with the hands).

It has been proven beyond doubt that the Ancient Egyptians were well-acquainted with the acupressure needs of the human body and recognised the significance of massage, probably, owing to the otherwise high standard of medicine. There is proof in the form of a 5,000-year-old mural found in the burial chamber of an Egyptian physician which depicts masseurs performing foot massage.

One of the oldest Chinese medical documents originates from the 3rd century B.C., the Book of Internal Medicine of the Yellow Emperor (Huang Ti Nei Ching), which even today serves as a basic guideline for experts pursuing Asian-style medicine as professionals. In addition to the Yin-Yang principle and the doctrine of five elements, the Book of Internal Medicine of the Yellow Emperor provides detailed definitions with respect to anatomical issues and also covers various breathing techniques and massage.

It is widely known that physician-priests performed massage in Ancient China, which they combined with active and passive physical exercise (Tai Chi). In those days, massage was primarily used to treat nervous system and blood circulation problems. The science of acupressure (massage involving the stimulation by finger of pressure points), too, originates from this period.

The notes of Kong-fu-Ce describe that masseurs were trained for many years and carefully preserved the secret of massage techniques and the functioning of the human body. Massage has always been a part of traditional Chinese medicine, which attains the balance of internal organs via acupuncture points.

The most ancient Indian massage descriptions pre-date the Chinese written records by hundreds of years. These originate from the 4th millennium B.C.

India had comprehensive knowledge and a holistic approach also in the area of health preservation. India was the most advanced health centre of the world as it was known then. They had bathing complexes testifying to a thorough knowledge of human health and attributed great significance to sports and yoga which were supplemented with massage. The first hospitals qualifying as specialised health care institutions as we know them today were established in India. In those days, these were only accessible for the members of the ruling class and the military. Massage did not only serve health preservation purposes but also ritual purposes.

The ayurvedic treatment method first appeared around 1800 B.C. Massage forms an inseparable part of ayurvedic treatment. The Sanskrit word ayurveda stems from two roots: ayus and vid, that is, life and knowledge. Ayurveda, the science of long life and the ancient source of holistic treatment, looks upon health as a harmonious orchestra or unity of body, soul and spirit and covers all the physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual criteria without which there is no healing. The procedure also referred to as the „science of knowledge" incorporates methods and procedures such as psychology, astrology, dietetics, and curative treatment with herbs, various medicines and mantras. This knowledge was left to us in the so-called vedas, Hindu books from thousands of years ago.

 

A brief overview of Thai massage

 

According to most reliable records, the science of massage was imported into Thailand together with Buddhism in the 3rd-4th century B.C. A physician from the North of India, Jivaka Kumar Bhacca, is regarded as the first known father of Thai massage, who was a friend and contemporary of Buddha and who is also mentioned in holy Buddhist documents (Tripitaka). The legendary ayurveda used minerals, herbs and special techniques for curative purposes and established in Chiang Mai the first hospital employing these treatment methods. Thai massage has over the course of centuries been preserved and developed not only as a tradition but also as a living science, as part of a health-conscious lifestyle.

Thai massage simultaneously relaxes and stimulates the body and the soul. Massage directed at specific parts of the body helps to provide stress relief and relaxation, and is even able to alleviate aches and pains.

Thai massage improves the blood and lymphatic circulation by virtue of the treatment of the energy lines, the so-called meridians, which thereby promotes the detoxification of the body, stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and internal organs, enhances, accelerates and supports the functioning of the internal organs and creates a balance in the energy system of the body. Thai massage is based on the theory of ten main energy lines running through the entire body. Cautiously performed stretches and pulls relieve the rigidity and tension of muscles and joints and improve the flexibility of the body. After a session of massage, you will feel fresh and flexible, you will find that movement will be easier, and the rigidity of muscles will ease.

Traditional Thai massage is performed at floor-level. There are philosophical as well as practical reasons for this. On the one hand, the two persons being at the same height symbolises that the masseur is at the same level as the patient and attempts to create a state of harmony with the patient in every department. On the one hand, this position makes the process easier. The masseur does not use his muscular strength for exerting power but his body weight and technical methods developed over the course of thousands of years. No equipment of any kind is required and it may be performed anywhere.

The curative effect of Thai massage by far exceeds the conventional western medical therapeutic recommendations in areas such as, for instance, asthma, constipation, rigidity of the shoulders, recuperation after heart attacks, nervous breakdown or the restoration of the mobility of the arms and legs.

In Thailand, the more than 2,500 years of tradition of massage forms a natural part of day-to-day life. Spiritual and physical care is a permanent part of the health-centred and nature-based mentality of Thai families. One of the elements of this care is Thai massage itself, touching and nursing one another's bodies for the purpose of healing
