Thai Massage
Traditional thai massage has a long history which supposably goes back to the time of Buddha (5. century before Christ). It uses stretch and strain positions, mobilisation of hinges and pressure point massage which are similar to Yoga. Ten energy lines which crosses the body as an energetic net - according to ayurvedic teachings - are treated with pulsative pressure of heel of hand, thumb, knee, elbow and feet. During thai massage the treated person rests in light clothing on a floor mat.
Massage increases body power of resistance
The effectiveness of massage treatments is scientifically verified. Swiss magazines «Gesundheitstipp» and «Saldo» report in an article of September 2010: «One single massage already considerably strengthens the immune system. This now is verified through an experiment of scientists in Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The doctors measured the blood values of 30 test persons before, during and after a massage. They compared them with a second group whiches bodies were not massaged but softly touched only. During the massage the number of white blood cells increased. They fight viruses, bacteria and toxics. The massage furthermore decreases stress hormone in the blood.»
