Thai massage
This form of art based on the Yajur-Veda medical science and medicine as well as on yoga has been transmitted from masters to disciples in an unbroken sequence through centuries and even ages to be applied in practice now in the whole Thailand.
A complete Thai massage includes a combination of acupressure, of stimulating the energetical paths, as well as of stretchings similar to those of yoga. It is different from many forms of massage of western conception, for instance, in the facts that no oil is used for it, the therapist uses a mattrace on the floor directly instead of a massage table, as well as the client stays dressed in his/her clothes during it. Many think it to be realy different from other kinds of massage, calling it „yoga applied on you by somebody else“. In Thailand, it is sometimes called „yoga for lazy men“.
