Thai Massage

My entire body is still aching. Having bruises (blue-black) on several spots. Stop your imaginations..I know what you're thinking of...but you're absolutely wrong. I didn't do any "one night affair" nor had I been attacked by assailants. I'm ain't a millionairess and not a Miss Pretty"...so these people wouldn't have look for me...right..! Amithaba. Touch Wood..!


Alright let me expose the suspend...!

A friend of mine invited me to join her for a "Thai Massage". As I had never experience this kind of special treatment, I decided to give it a try. Being curious as well as "Kei Po", I went along. It's a 50 minutes session @ RM30. After our shopping spree...we went for the massage session.

Fisrt, we were given a glass of herbal tea. Then we were ushered into a cosy room which is partially covered with a curtain. We changed into a robe (not fully naked la) and lie down on a padded mat.

The massage therapist applied some baby oil on my shoulder and back. She starts to knead my body using her graceful hands. Although she is skinny but she's real strong.

She focused on the various muscle compression, joint mobilization and stressed on certain pressure point which was real painful (perhaps for first timer like me...or else other people describe Thai massage as relaxing and energizing).

According to Wikipedia massage is " "friction of kneading, to touch, feel, handle". Massage is the treatment and practice of manipulation of the soft body tissues with physical and functional.

Massage involves acting and manipulating the patient's body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary, and/or moving), tension, motion, or vibration done manually or with mechanical aids.

Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints or other
connective tissues

Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm, and feet.
Massage is often performed by a professional Massage Therapist

At the initial stage, the massage technique was nice and relaxing. Once a while, I could feel the ticklish sensation which made me giggled.

However, when the massager applied pressure on my shoulders and back, I began to feel the pain. I screamed ....ouch ! The patrons at the other cubicle could had heard my scream....and which was quite embarrasing for me.

After the 1 hour session, I felt relieved.

That night, I felt terrible due to the pain. I noticed some bruises on my back.

Guess..this would be my first and last attempt of going for a body massage.

Till today..I could still feel the pain though not as much as yesterday.
