Tok Sen Benefits
Just a few of the advantages of this ancient Thai/Chinese treatment are increased circulation, relief from stiff and tight muscles, improvement of nerve functions and many others. The main function of this treatment relates to the tendons and specifically the muscle-tendon meridians. The proper treatment entails using special wooden tools to vibrate the appropriate areas of the body. This is because there can be blockages in the meridians. The vibrations of the tendons, when done correctly, loosen both the tendons and the muscles. This also improves blood circulation.
There is a saying: “Young tendons – young and healthy body”; when the tendons are flexible, the bone structure is smooth, and the muscles are flexible and do not press on arteries, veins, lymphatic strings, nerves, and meridians. This allows all layers of the body to be nourished properly and therefore function properly. Harmonizing the wisdom of the two ancient Chinese and Lanna (from Northern Thailand) cultures creates a unique technique that stimulates organs, muscles, tendons and meridian lines in the body for radiant health and well-being.
Treatment of the entire body is one of the best forms of maintenance. This has been established through centuries of application. The importance of healthy tendons is clear by the fact that we use them so much. A healthy body always involves the tendons. This is because, while the tendons in the joints, for example, are important, treating them eventually impacts the organ tendons. Indeed, this therapy and maintenance have a positive influence on virtually every part and function of the body.
Increases blood circulation. Better circulation nourishes tendons and releases blocked energy more quickly.
Relaxes muscles: tight muscles will squeeze capillaries which will decrease blood circulation to muscles and cause muscle soreness.
Stimulate peripheral nerves. These nerves run parallel with capillaries. Every time we hammer, vibrations will nourish capillaries and peripheral nerves, which can stimulate muscles as well.
