●Tok sen massage （tap along  body with wooden sticks ）

What really makes Tok Sen massage stand out from other massage methods is that the tools achieve a deep bodily vibration through tapping that is not possible using ordinary Thai massage techniques.

These intense vibrations resonate through the body, stimulating from within and dislodging long-held and stubborn muscle tension.

Many people find the rhythm of the taps hypnotizing, as they follow the sound to a deep, meditative state of relaxation, which further loosens the body, making the massage even more effective.

Tok Sen is said to be a particularly good massage for loosening the fascia, a connective tissue beneath the skin which can cause pain when it becomes too stiff. Such loosening both prevents and relieves myofascial adhesions or trigger points, commonly known as “knots”.

​

Tok Sen is performed with a hammer-like striker, known as a Khone, and a peg, known as a Limb.

These tools are traditionally made from the wood of a Tamarind tree that has been struck by lightning and engraved and blessed by a Buddhist monk. This is said to help remove the negative energy trapped in our bodies.
