What is the Ток Sen massage?

Legend says this very special massage technique was born in ancient times and was created by farmers in Thailand. After exhausting physical work during the day, their bodies needed a serious therapy. Having no access to the secrets of Thai massage, they developed their own therapeutic technique and called it Tok Sen. “Tok” means the sound produced by tapping a wooden wedge with a mallet and “Sen” means the energy lines of the body. Tok Sen massage consists of tapping along the body energy channels with a wooden mallet and wooden wedges. This massage provides a combination between the deep vibration produced by the wooden instruments with manual pressure and stretches. The wooden accessories we use during this massage are made of a special tamarind tree, known for its healing properties. The tapping rhythm is constant and staccato.
