In this course Manual Osteopath, Registered Massage Therapist and Yoga Teacher Mike Everson is going to guide you through how to deliver a Tok Sen Massage. Tok Sen massage is an ancient northern Thai practice that involves the use of a special wooden hammer, usually made from the bark of the tamarind tree, to relax muscles in a rhythmically tapping motion, 'Tok Sen'. Tok means to hammer or hit and Sen refers to the energetic pathways in the body.
During a Tok Sen session, the practitioner will typically tap and vibrate along energy meridians or specific points on the body to help release muscular/fascial tension and improve circulation. The practice is believed to help alleviate physical and emotional blockages, and promote overall health and well-being.
Tok Sen is often used in combination with other traditional healing practices in Thailand, such as Thai massage and herbal remedies, and is considered to be an important part of Thai traditional medicine.
