The practice of massage therapy has evolved with the growth of various cultures around the world, especially as its inherent medical benefits were discovered. Massage is a contact treatment method based on friction, pressure and rubbing of strategic points on the body – see Wikipedia. Most of the popular massage techniques come from the Far East, including China and India. These cultures created philosophies and traditional methods that are practiced today.
Types of massage
There is a wide variety of types of massage, more than 150 different types of massage to be exact, but they can be divided into two main types: homeopathic massage and therapeutic massage.
Options for homeopathic massages:
Homeopathic massage refers to complementary medicine. The main focus of the massages is to treat the body and mind with a relaxing professional massage that gives a feeling of calmness and improves blood circulation, energizes the whole body. Hot stone massage can also treat or prevent disease in many cases.
Foot massage – reflexology is an alternative treatment in the field of complementary medicine. With this method, you can improve the condition of the body and mind of a person using heat and pressure at certain points on the foot. You can also get the opportunity to diagnose other parts of the body – the foot serves as a kind of “map” of points corresponding to various organs and systems of the body. Some say that massaging the feet can release blocked energy and thus cure diseases. The Thai Massage Center offers a relaxing foot massage.

Thai massage is a treatment method associated with Chinese philosophy, using the principles of “yin-yang” and also called Thai “yoga”, invented by Buddhist monks two thousand five hundred years ago in the Far East. The patient is fully dressed. The procedure includes massage and pressure on tissue points, muscles and tendons using the therapist’s fingers. The massage is also called “yoga” because the patient is in a passive state despite doing stretching exercises and postures combined with the application of strength to the legs and arms under the guidance of a masseuse.
The procedure has many benefits, including stretching for flexibility of the body and exercises for vigor and balancing blood circulation. The Thai Massage Center offers an experienced and professional team who know how to properly communicate with the patient and adjust the applied pressure according to the patient’s response during the massage.

Oil massage – when it comes to relaxing massage, the first thing that comes to mind is oil massage, This method uses essential oils that affect the nervous system, digestion, respiration and muscles. Thanks to the oils, the masseur can smoothly and relaxingly glide over the skin with the palm of his hand, and sometimes with the whole hand. Massage improves mood, releases endorphins, improves blood circulation and balances the flow of energy in the body. To view and book an oil treatment, click here
Category of therapeutic massage:
Medical massage is a procedure in the field of physiotherapy. Typically, treatment is carried out in hospitals throughout the country or in a private clinic. The patient receives a referral from a doctor for massage of tissues, joints and lymph nodes to improve the function of the organ as a result of erosion or tissue renewal due to injury. The purpose of therapeutic massage is, first of all, to diagnose the source of pain through massage, acupuncture or special exercises. In addition, this is not just a massage for pleasure, it is a medical treatment directed to a specific area that requires a series of treatments, not a single treatment.
