Chi Thai Massage
Istenhegy Clinic, Alternative Movement and Massage Therapy Center
We founded Chi Thai Massage Center at Istenhegyi Private Clinic with the aim of having Eastern and Western views meet in one place, one of the most ancient oriental therapeutic traditions with modern medical science.Chi Thai Massage Center is a place where weekday routine, crazy rushing and problems do not exist. Silence, peace and tranquility embraced the visitors in a unique, unforgettable surrounding. Little details created with love (oriental atmosphere, soft music, the exotic scent of incense sticks, candlelight, kind, thoughtful staff, and skilled Thai massage-therapists) helped in relaxation. The tailor made massage and the magic of tranquility facilitated the true refreshment of body and soul.
The service provided at the center was traditional Thai massage, a several thousand years old oriental therapy recognized worldwide. This complex method that enhances harmony of body, soul and spirit greatly contributes to the detoxification of the body, strengthening the immune system and increasing endurance. We helped ease the unfortunate companions of our rushing lives: the accumulated stress, treating bad posture or reducing fatigue.
The massage that affects acupressure points facilitates complete relaxation, creates balance in the body and reactivates blocked energies. It eases stress and might help sleep disorders as well. The massage that is energizing and relaxing at the same time stretches the entire body. It improves flexibility and brings peace to the soul. It’s excellent for dissolving painful cramps and stiffness. It helps articular and spinal problems, as well as low back, neck and back pains. The combination of yoga, reflexology and acupressure makes it a uniquely effective treatment. Our center, above the already presented Thai massage provided tailor made detoxifying, illness prevention and if necessary, healing treatments.
Its novelty was creating a bridge between Far East and the West, merging the methods of ancient healing traditions with modern medicine.
The unique implementations of Thai massage at Chi
Sick people: treatment or treatment sessions implemented with the aim of healing (usually upon medical advice).
Athletes: as a preparation for sport activities, reducing fatigue and regeneration after injuries. As an effect of regular massage, the performance of athletes rose by up to 30%, as a muscular system with plenty of oxygen and nutrients functions better, workload increases, muscle work will be fast and persistent.
Diagnostics purposes: Thai massage also serves as a tool for diagnostics. In case any organ lesion or illness is suspected during treatment, the possibility of a thorough in-house medical examination was given, as our center collaborated with the clinic.
Apart from the familiar Thai massage services we are capable of health promotion consultations, putting together tailor made detoxifying, illness prevention, slimming programs as well, and if necessary, providing healing treatments.
The significance of Thai massage is great also in detoxification, improving the physical and mental state of inpatients, healing and rehabilitation locomotive diseases. During the consultations it has been clearly shown that the results of Thai massage (and mostly foot massage) diagnostics based upon points of pain and slag deposits are identical to results measured by instruments. The greatest changes were achieved in case of locomotive diseases, muscular dystrophy and short term (maximum 1 month) paralytic conditions.
The professional background of the center was provided by Mónika Karsai (Traditional Healing Therapist, General Operations Director), who studied in Thailand from local masters for 7 years, then broadened her knowledge with medical studies in Hungary, while working together with doctors active in various fields. Her Thai masseuses were familiar with both methods (the Southern, softer Wat Po from Bangkok, and the Eastern, containing more osteopathic elements, from Chiang Mai), they had several years of professional experience, attended professional trainings regularly, spoke English and were given a special Hungarian (professional language) training as well.
The center was closed by Monika, because she got morally disappointed in her Thai employees.
