Thai massage is renowned the world over for the soothing and relaxing benefits it renders to those who have found tranquillity under the skilled strokes of a professional masseuse. One of the most famous and popular forms of massage, Thai massage is one that certainly guarantees relaxation and rejuvenation to every inch of your body. The benefits of Thai massage can be experienced outside the boundaries of Thailand as well, in the many spa resorts that are scattered all over the world, with masseurs skilled and trained in the beautiful art. In Maldives as well, while you are indulging in the comforts of luxurious Maldives hotels such as Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas you can enjoy the beautiful pressures of this age old form of massage.
Thai massage essentially keeps internal health and flexibility at its core, by skilfully focusing on circulation and pressure points. Starting from the tips of your toes and ending with the top of your head, Thai massage guarantees relaxation to all parts of your body. You will have to take four distinct positions to assist the masseur to navigate through your body’s pressure points by lying face down, face up, lying on your side and finally sitting down.
Garbed in loose fitting clothing the recipient will lie on a mattress that is laid on the floor and the masseur will work rhythmic pressure on the body using forearms locked at the elbow. The masseur will follow your body’s energy lines that are called “Sen” as you blissfully feel the pressure and stiffness drifting away.
A traditional Thai massage technically has to last for approximately two hours, but the offerings vary in the present context. Certain techniques in the traditional Thai massage also involve procedures such cracking knuckles and walking on the recipient’s back. However mild or however extensive, Thai massage will indeed give a sense of complete rest and ultimate satisfaction to all those who experience its ultimate benefits.
