But do you know that there are a lot of unique massage techniques around the world that go beyond the ordinary? They reflect their cultures and what they believe. Today you’ll be taken to the world trip of unique massages.
Lomilomi massage from Hawaii
The first massage we’ll see is Lomilomi massage from Hawaii. When we hear Hawaii, we’ll imagine its beautiful ocean, the slow pace of time, and the warm Aloha Spirit which roots into people’s hearts. Lomilomi massage is deeply connected with Hawaiian nature, culture and people. The word “Lomi” has the meaning of kneading, rubbing, or soothe, and it’s describing how Lomilomi massage is practiced.
Seamless treatment is one of the characteristics that this massage has. The practitioners treat the body from its part to part with one stroke by using their elbows or forearms rhythmically and repetitively. This seamless and rhythmical stroke has been easing people’s body and heart, and it’s loved by people in Hawaii for a long time.
Ayurveda massage from India
The next massage technique we’ll see is Ayurveda massage which has the meaning of “Science of life” from india. This massage has a broad perspective. For a lot of people, massage might be just something that can heal physical condition, or something to feel relaxed. For them, massage is the tool for reassessing their lives. The concept behind this massage is to live better by having a healthy body and healthy mind, which includes not only what they eat or how they exercise, but also their relationships with all people around them and how they see the world.
They believe people have three types of life energies which are “Kapha(water treat)” “Vata(wind treat)” and “Pitta(fire treat)”, and all the illness and disease come from unbalancing between these three treats. So in Ayurveda massage, they pick herbal oils which can support the treat the person is lacking for making the balance of three treats well. Ayurveda massage has been giving people not only physical benefits but a chance to reassess their lives.
Tok Sen massage from Thailand
The last massage but not least is Tok Sen massage from Thailand. There are not so many massages that use tools for their treatment, Tok Sen massage is outstanding because of their unique wooden instrument. And the key word here is vibelation. Tok Sen massage practitioners use specific wooden tools for tapping people’s bodies for making them vibrate. Because of this vibration, body cells will be activated and will reach deep into the body which can’t be reached just by hands or fingers. They don’t use just ordinary tools for their treatment. They use wood from the trees struck by lightning, which are called “Khon” and “Rim”. This is because it has been said that the tree struck by lightning has the power of heaven. Tok Sen massage heals people from the deep inside by using tools with power.
