Thai Massage and Western Massage differ greatly
Published in:2/21/2012

escort shenzhen and Western Massage differ greatly in more ways than their techniques. In Western countries there is an ongoing effort to prove scientifically how and why massage is beneficial. Most of the massage therapy profession has accepted science as their unofficial regulator. Therapists feel compelled to demonstrate that their therapies hold up to the demands of science and comply with scientific standards.

In other words the effectiveness of massage has to be proven by scientific methods in order to prevent allegations of unproven, unscientific, or unsubstantiated claims in regards to the therapy - what a mouthful! If you think I am exaggerating, read some of the disclaimers on massage intake forms that you have to fill out before you receive a session.

Massage therapists in the West go through great lengths to state that they do not fix, cure, diagnose, treat, prescribe, or improve any medical condition, and that only doctors can do such things. I know, they have to do that so that they don't get sued.

Let's use some common sense here. Before the advent of medical science, people all over the world were treated with all kinds of therapies and remedies. Sometimes they worked and sometimes they did not. Today we have modern hospitals and sometimes their therapies work and sometimes they do not. The one big difference is that hospitals and their treatments, medications and procedures are one of the leading causes of death in the US. In comparison, tell me how many people died on massage tables!
