What is Traditional Malay Massage?
It’s a traditional way of healing the body and it has developed over many generations all around the world with different communities fleshing out; as it were, their own massage styles.
The principle of a Traditional Malay Massage is angin (wind) and urat (veins), which mean the nervous system or blood and lymphatic vessels. Veins are kneaded using long strokes to expel wind, and oils are used both to facilitate the movement for the massage and for its predicated medicinal properties.
Traditional Malay Massage uses specific techniques, with repeated long strokes on the limbs and deep thumb pressure on the back muscles. Additionally, applying pressure to the correct pressure points promotes faster recovery from injuries, whilst simultaneously increasing mobility and range of motion.
Traditional Malay Massage helps to relieve stress and promote relaxation which will guide your body to more natural, easy movements, which in turn will improve your general feelings of health and well-being. It also assists in helping you to breathe deeply, which promotes better blood flow throughout the body as well.
When combined with the right oils, the deep and targeting kneading movements of Traditional Malay Massage are ideal for alleviating pain and tension. Working on the concept of angin (wind), rubbing of oil on the soles of the feet can also stop wind from entering the body.
When done regularly, Traditional Malay Massage can help with pain management, which is ideal for anyone with chronic health problems.
