Massothérapie
Thai Massage
The massage practitioner leans on the recipient's body using hands and usually straight forearms locked at the elbow to apply firm rhythmic pressure. The massage generally follows designated lines (Sen) in the body. Legs and feet of the giver can be used to fixate the body or limbs of the recipient. In other positions, hands fixate the body, while the feet do the massaging action. A full Thai massage session typically lasts two hours or more, and includes rhythmic pressing and stretching of the entire body; this may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, cracking the knuckles, walking on the recipient's back, and manipulating the recipients body into many different positions. There is a standard procedure and rhythm to the massage, which the practitioner will adjust to fit each individual client.
Generally speaking, practitioners of modern Thai massage operate on the hypothesis that the body is permeated with "lom", or "air", which is inhaled into the lungs and subsequently travels throughout the body along 72,000 pathways called "sen", which the therapists manipulate manually. This is the commonly accepted hypothesis, mostly likely originating in Indian Yoga, promoted by the Government and the Schools, the Sen being understood as either physical or non physical structures depending on the interpretation. Traditional regional medicine however follows a different, more comprehensive theoretical system, which involves massage as being the manipulation of the 5 body layers (Skin, Tissue, Channels, Bone, Organs) to influence the relationship of the 4 body elements (Earth, Water, Wind, Fire), within this system, the Sen are defined as tendons, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels, and the element "lom" or "wind" is understood as the property of movement. This understanding derives from Buddhist Medicine which has its roots in ancient Indian Medicine.

En quoi ça consiste
Most of the hour is spent on the table while the therapist works through the areas you’ve agreed to focus on — pressure, pace and techniques shifting as they go — with a brief check-in before and after so you leave knowing what was worked on.
