Thai Massage Course

I have started tuesday with my first lesson of the Thai Massage Course I'm following at the Centro del Benessere. It's a basic course but i will be able to perform one full massage after i have finished the course. We are learing the Chang Mai technique, from the North of Thailand. The other existing technique is that of the South, Bangkok's Wat Po.

The origin of the Ancient Thai massage can be traced far back into history to Shivago Komarpaj, the founding father. This unique bodywork incorporates yoga, pressure point and reflexology.
To preserve this ancient art form, past practitioners have scribed medical technique into stones. These inscriptions can be found within the walls of the Wat Po Temple in Bangkok Thailand.
Today, Thai massage helps eliminate stress and muscle tension, thus creating balance and harmony to one's body. Many people have incorporated Thai massage into their preventative health practices and are enjoying its lasting effects.

Thai massage is practised on a Futon mat and is very relaxing for the muscles but most of all will get your energy (prana, ki, chi) in balance. So very good for tired and stressed people. It is a technique which uses Shiatsu principles, acupressure points and streching techniques derived from Yoga. Therefor also called Thai Yoga Massage.
