The term “marma” literally means “hidden” or “secret.”
Marma points are vital energy points linked to the body’s sen line’s (energy pathways).
These points serving as gateways in the human body where the mind, body, and spirit intersect. There are 108 marma points in total: 107 on the physical body and one in the mind.
Stimulating the marma points through gently applied Thai massage, releases blocked life force energy. This helps to promote healing and energy balance by:
- Relieving muscle stiffness, stress, and tension
- Supporting organ function and circulation
- Enhancing mental clarity and emotional well-being
Thai massage aims to awaken circulation, calm the nervous system, and restore a natural sense of harmony.
