Basic Techniques of Thai Massage – Rite 5 focuses on refining pressure application and movement flow to support deep relaxation and balanced energy circulation throughout the body. In this stage, the practitioner uses controlled, rhythmic pressure through the palms, thumbs, and forearms while maintaining proper posture and synchronizing movements with the client’s breathing. Attention is given to working along the primary energy lines with steady, mindful techniques that help release muscle tension, enhance flexibility, and encourage physical and mental harmony. The emphasis on continuous contact and the use of body weight rather than muscular effort ensures both effective treatment and practitioner well-being.
