General Traditional Thai Massage (30 hrs)
Traditional Thai massage is basically different from methods developed and used in Europe. It is based on the self-curing strength of the body, it means a complex method that enhances the harmony of body, soul and spirit. According to the Eastern medical traditions, the prerequisite of health is the unhindered flow of life energy (chi) in the body's energy channels. Thai massage concentrates on 10 main energy lines (channels) that are called sen. Its basic goal is to create harmony in the human body, release energy blocks and supply shortages of the energy lines.
Thai massage is a so-called dry massage since no oils and creams are used. During the treatment the guest wears light clothes made of cotton. The procedure, applied on the whole body, has a special choreography. During the massage, which takes 1,5-2 hours, the masseur (unlike in European massages) is not only working with hands but also using forearms, legs, knees, elbows and feet to stimulate physiological acupuncture points on the energy lines. The massage also includes different stretching and bending exercises. The use of kyropractic elements makes it unique. Massage on the given points of the body helps total relaxation; accelerated blood circulation improves the body's oxygen supply, making the body lax, calm and refreshed, which results in a good general feeling.
Regular massage proved to be a good therapy for different locomotor disorders, nervous, lymphatic, digestive, gynaecological and respiratory diseases. However it can be applied for the treatment of insomnia, stress, headache and migraine. Treatments lead to proper energy flow inside the patient, which improves the balanced work of the body, detox and recovery. Stimulation of reflex points reveals hidden diseases.

Foot Massage (30 hrs)
Foot massage, an ancient Chinese therapeutic technique, has been used successfully for more than 3000 years in Asia. It cures and prevents numerous diseases e.g. headache, stress, exhaustion, asthma, constipation, sinusitis and migraine.The sensory nerves of internal organs run across the whole body, many of them being in contact with other organs, just like the skin.

If a part of the body or an organ is sick, its circulation gets inadequate, then the relevant point on the sole becomes particularly sensitive for pressing. If this point is massaged, circulation in the region of the body, that is in contact with this point, improves. Often small lumps can be felt (uric acid and other excreta), which tend to crack when massaged and patients feel it as a stabbing pain. Foot massage is a particularly efficient therapy for the functional disorders of internal organs as a self-curing method. Lymphatic system transports the end-products of metabolism from the tissues.
These particles may be too large to return to circulation and may not further decompose in the tissues either. In case of a healthy body, the flow of life energy is unhindered in the meridians. Loose living, emotional stress, weakness or an injury can disturb this flow. Massage can make stuck energy flow again and improves the defensive strength of the body.
