Masáž v Thajsku: Co vás čeká a proč je to jiné než japonské techniky
When you think of masáž v Thajsku, tradiční tělesná praxe, která kombinuje akupresuru, jógu a energetické linie, aby obnovila rovnováhu těla a mysli. Also known as thajská masáž, it is not just about pressing muscles—it’s about guiding the body through a sequence of stretches and rhythmic pressure, often performed on a mat with the client fully clothed. Unlike Japanese massage techniques that focus on subtle energy flow and precise hand movements, Thai massage is more dynamic, almost like a guided yoga session where the therapist uses their body weight to move you through positions.
It’s not magic, but it works. People who try it often say they feel like their body was gently rearranged. The pressure isn’t always soft—it can be deep, even intense—but it’s never random. It follows sen lines, energy pathways similar to meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. When these lines are blocked, you feel stiff, tired, or achy. Thai massage opens them up, using thumbs, elbows, knees, and even feet to apply pressure. You don’t need to be flexible. You don’t need to speak Thai. You just need to breathe.
Many who come to Prague looking for Japanese styles like Shiatsu or Anma end up curious about Thai massage because it feels different. It’s not about quiet, meditative touch. It’s active, engaging, sometimes playful. You might laugh when the therapist uses their knee to stretch your back, or gasp when they press into a spot you didn’t know was tight. And then, minutes later, you feel lighter, looser, calmer. That’s the shift.
Thai massage doesn’t just relieve pain—it helps you reconnect with your body. If you’ve tried aromatherapy, lymfatická masáž, or even Dornova metoda and still feel stuck in tension, Thai massage might be the missing piece. It doesn’t replace medical care, but it complements it. It’s the kind of therapy you return to—not because you’re injured, but because you feel better after it.
What you’ll find below are real experiences from people who’ve tried different kinds of bodywork—from postnatal massage to tantric sessions—and discovered how Thai massage fits into their routine. Some use it for recovery. Others for stress relief. A few just because it feels like coming home. None of them regret trying it.
