Can Thai massage help lose weight?
During a Thai massage session, your therapist will stretch your body into a variety of positions that most closely resemble yoga positions. Through this stretching, you'll relieve muscle tension, increase muscle flexibility, add to your muscle tone, and help aid joint mobility.

Thai massage is an ancient healing art of Thailand using acupressure on the SEN or the energy lines, deep tissue contact, combined with yoga-like stretching. Thai massage is similar to sport massage and neuromuscular therapy. These types of massage are designed to deal with chronic pain from tension, injury or repetitive use of the muscles.

Wai Khru mantra before starting a massage session, simply take a moment to clear your mind, set an intention and thank the lineage of teachers that has kept this practice alive for centuries.
Whatever your spiritual beliefs, there is benefit to both you and your client when the massage is performed in a meditative fashion. Taking a moment to prepare yourself both physically and mentally prior to beginning a massage will ensure that you will be better able to listen to what your client’s body is telling you and to leave your own personal life and wandering thoughts out of the massage session.

General contraindications for Thai massage are the same as with any other massage technique. A massage therapist does need to take extra care in assessing any issues a client may have with range of motion, as these may contraindicate Thai massage.
Modifications can often be made, but massage therapists should ask about the following during intake (this list is not exhaustive):

history of dislocated shoulder

joint replacement

impingement syndrome

arthritis

bursitis

frozen shoulder

herniated disc

Thai massage seems to have a more energizing effect on the nervous system. It relies on Sen lines, a system of energy lines in the body which, if blocked, health problems develop. A focus on restoring movement in the Sen lines combined with the joint mobilization resulting from the passive stretching, leaves the client feeling calm yet alert and energized.

Unblocked life force lines leads to optimum health.

Most Asian healing traditions have an energy line approach to healing. Energy lines are invisible channels through which it’s believed our vital life force can flow. When these channels are unobstructed, the vital life force can flow freely through the body resulting in optimum health. In this ideal state, one is more resistant to disease and injury and once sick or injured, heals more quickly.
It can be challenging for the modern Westerner to fully comprehend this concept of invisible energy channels. After all, these channels cannot be seen on any imaging scan or cadaver. It is important to note that these channels serve as maps of the human body in the same way we have maps of the muscular or skeletal system. These maps simply pre-date modern anatomy and physiology.
Modern anatomy and physiology surged in the 17th and 18th centuries. Then cadavers were dissected and charts were drawn taking the study of the human body to a new level. Asian traditional healing systems were developed before this time. Dissection of a human body for study was forbidden. Therefore, the approach to healing the body was comprised of massage and medicinal herbs and plants.

The massage generally follows designated lines ("sen") in the body. The legs and feet of the giver can be used to position the body or limbs of the recipient. In other positions, hands fix the body, while the feet do the massaging. A full Thai massage session may last two hours and includes rhythmic pressing and stretching of the entire body. This may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, cracking knuckles, walking on the recipient's back, and moving the recipient's body into many different positions. There is a standard procedure and rhythm to the massage, which the giver will adjust to fit the receiver.

Traditional Thai massage uses no oils or lotions. The recipient remains clothed during a treatment. There is constant body contact between the giver and receiver, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked.
The recipient wears loose, comfortable clothing and lies on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. In Thailand, a dozen or so subjects may be receiving massage simultaneously in one large room. The true ancient style of the massage requires that the massage be performed solo with just the giver and receiver. The receiver will be positioned in a variety of yoga-like positions during the course of the massage, that is also combined with deep static and rhythmic pressures.
