Thai acupressure
Thai acupressure is the physiotherapy of Thailand. It is widely practiced in Thailand but less known among most non-Thais. Similar to the acupressure points used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Thai acupressure relies on points that lie along energy lines, called Sen lines, and diagnose disorders based on elemental theories. Thai theories only use four elements--earth, water, wind, and fire--as opposed to TCM's five. Disorders occur when energy along these lines and points becomes imbalanced, stagnated or deficient.
After diagnosing the problem, a series of points are pressed in the area surrounding the obstruction. The pattern and points are chosen based on the diagnosis and the intended treatment. By stimulating these points, the energy is encouraged to harmonize, typically clearing the blocks, repleting the deficiency, and rebalancing the patient.
