Tok Sen Therapy

An ancient Thai healing art, meaning “tapping lines” dates back around 5000 years old. It involves a set of wooden tools, including a hammer and many different chisel options. Each chosen based on what seems fitting to the therapist after assessing the blockage. These tools are used to enhance the therapy session. This holistic method is used to treat sore muscles, fascial restrictions, joint pain, pinched nerves, stiffness and disease associated with specific sen lines. 

Most all Eastern modalities of healing follow a group of lines or channels, each associated with specific functions and dysfunctions of the body. Sen Lines are the structural foundation for Thai Medicine. They are a map of energy channels followed by Thai Practitioners who are trained to assess, locate and release blocks that over time can create disease, discomfort, lack of mobility, and imbalances in the body, mind and/or spirit. 

A general Tok Sen Massage Therapy session would begin with deep compressions and acupressure. This helps to relax the muscles and nervous system. In addition, the therapist is able to identify where blocks and restrictions are. Then using Tok Sen tools, tapping in a rhythmic method, they will follow the necessary Thai acu-points. The vibration works deeply through the muscles, including areas that are impalpable like connective tissue, bones and joints.Once the blocks are addressed, the therapist may reassess with additional compressions and massage, then finish with stretching, tapotement, or tractioning.

Our therapists are specially trained for this modality. Client is draped between two sheets OR may wear comfortable clothing.
