******** Popular Types of Asian Massage
Wonderful massage techniques have been developed in India and the Far East over centuries. Asian massage is still very popular both for relaxation and as therapy around the globe.
Thai Massage
Originating in India, Thai massage combines guided stretching and Meridian pressure techniques with Pranayama breathing. It was brought to Thailand by Dr Shivago K., in Buddah’s time about 2500 years ago. Pranayama breathing technique is meant for cleansing the body and strengthening the nervous system. Pranayama breathing also helps in boosting the immune system, focusing, concentration, and more efficient oxidation of the blood. Massage area is on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. The recipient is made to practice yoga-like positions during the course of the massage. At the end most recipients find Thai massage very relaxing and refreshing.
Shiatsu Massage: Shiatsu hails from the Japanese words shi, meaning finger, and atsu, meaning pressure. It is another type of Asian massage developed in the Far East, known to most as originating in Japan. It uses thumb pressure, palms, and fingers, and works along the energy meridians in the body with the same meridians as acupressure. Health benefits of Shiatsu massage include rebalancing of bone system, improvement in circulatory function, enhanced balance of the nervous system and greater flexibility of skin and muscle.
Chinese Tui Na massage: Tui na is actually a form of Chinese manipulative therapy developed more than 5000 years ago. This Asian massage is often used in combination with acupuncture, Chinese herbalism and other health therapies. The essence of this massage lies in applying pressure to the body at certain key points. It employs a series of pressing, tapping, and kneading with the therapist’s palms, fingertips, knuckles or certain implements that are said to remove blockages along the meridians of the body.
The result is stimulating the flow of qi (natural respiration of the body) and blood to promote healing. Tui na massage is used as treatment for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as certain non-musculoskeletal conditions. It also has fewer side effects than many modern drug-based and chemical-based treatments.
Javanese Massage: Javanese massage of Indonesia is another significant type of Asian massage. It uses all parts of the therapist’s hand, (knuckles, palms and fingers) to knead and massage the muscles. The whole procedure is facilitated by using massage oil. Javanese massage relieves tension, alleviates back pain and aids in the healing of fractures. It is the most robust (and even painful) type of Asian massage but very beneficial for your health.
