It is a style called Chiang Mai style among Thai traditional massage with many schools. Until 60 years ago, Chiang Mai was not the current Thailand but the Kingdom of Lanna. The Chiang Mai style, which takes pride of the runners to the capital, Bangkok, is more yoga-like and relaxed and elegant.Passing energy while walking along the energy line called Sen. Stretch when the whole body warms up. This also takes at least 2 hours. The Chiang Mai style is a soft and elegant style throughout. Rather than a style for dealing with severe stiffness, this style is recommended for those who feel conditioned by receiving them on a daily basis. Chiang Mai style, as the name implies, is a Thai traditional massage developed in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.In the north, the Chiang Mai style developed to counter the same as the Wat Pho style developed mainly in the capital Bangkok. By the way, Chiang Mai was ruled by the Kingdom of Thailand about 50 years ago (formerly Lanna Kingdom), but Mr. Singhong, a Wat Pho instructor, returned to his hometown and massages and mixes passed on to Lanna Kingdom The style created is Chiang Mai style.There are parts that are conscious of yoga poses, and there are many parts that walk with a delicate touch. For example, the Wat Pho type presses tightly with both fingers, while the Chiang Mai type repeatedly presses one finger at a time. In some cases, there are situations where you use your elbows or forearms to press. Stretching is the same when the body warms up in the second half, but the stretching style is different from the Wat Pho style and it looks cool.I can understand a little why Westerners who are interested in oriental culture have all sought the Chiang Mai style. The Chiang Mai style has the image that there is a lot of stretching throughout, but that is only a comparison with the Wat Pho style, and it is not that much.Even today, there are many Thai traditional massage schools in Chiang Mai, and it is attracting attention as a healing town. Many schools still exist today, but with the same nuances, the basic styles are all the same. That should have been the reason that those who had been teaching at the school created by Sinton were insulated from the independence of the school. |
