Thai Foot Massage has its roots in both Chinese reflexology and traditional Thai medicine. It's believed to have been developed over 2,000 years ago by Buddhist monks in Thailand as a way to promote healing and wellness. Over the centuries, it has evolved into the practice we know today, blending elements of acupressure and stretching techniques.
Principles of Energy Lines (Sen)Central to Thai Foot Massage is the concept of energy lines, or "sen." According to Thai medicine, these sen lines are pathways through which life energy, or "lom," flows. When the flow of energy is blocked or disrupted, it can lead to physical or emotional imbalances. By applying pressure to specific points on the feet believed to correspond to the sen lines, Thai Foot Massage aims to clear blockages and restore the natural flow of energy throughout the body.
