Ancient healing energy therapy
While the traditional Thai massage is well-known and available worldwide, most people aren’t aware of the Tok Sen therapy. Tok Sen is a traditional therapeutic massage technique that originated in northern Thailand, specifically from the Lanna Kingdom, of which Chiang Mai was the last capital. Tok Sen can be called “Thai treatment for gourmets“ and it’s therapeutic effect is recognized as the most effective massage in the world.
This ancient healing procedure is based on the therapeutic effects of Thai massage with tapping of the whole body with special hammer and a stick. Hence, the Tok Sen therapy makes use of a small mallet and wedge, often made of wood from the tamarind tree, to stimulate the energy points and lines of the body.
What really makes the Tok Sen therapy stand out from other massage modalities, is that it combines the deep vibration produced by the wooden instruments with manual pressure and passive stretches, in order to transform the body, mind and energy.
To give you an example, the wedge can be tapped on a single point, in segments, tracing a line, etc. The manual pressure and stretches are often applied at the beginning or/and end of a treatment sequence. The intense vibrations of the Tok Sen instruments work on our energy as well as physical level, reaching deep inside, healing us from within.
The constant sound of the tapping as well as the deep vibrations brought me into a meditative state and cleared my mind of any distractions. I felt as I could fly. My hands and legs were shaking from the streaming energy.

“Tok” comes from the sound that the mallet makes when hitting the wooden wedge, and “Sen” relates to the Sen energy lines in traditional Thai medicine.
Our bodies have numerous energy channels in which the “chi” flows. Traditional Thai and Chinese medicine maintains that a person is healthy only when “chi” flows without obstruction. This technique allows you to remove the blockage in the energy channels, activate the acupressure points and promote the normal flow of energy in the body, relax the clenched muscles of the body, mainly the ones that are impossible to reach with other techniques.
Most of us are familiar with traditional Thai massage, but how many of us have experienced the healing vibrations of the Tok Sen Thai therapy? For me it is unlike anything else and is yet to be discovered by the mainstream. Be among the first to enjoy this powerful treatment!

The tapping of the Tok Sen stimulates our tendons, skin, muscles, circulatory system, etc., on a physical level. On an energy level, the stimulation of the energy points and lines opens up blockages and reactivates the free flow of energy throughout the body, which in turn reinstates health and well-being. This therapy is releasing emotions that is “energy in motions”. If your emotions are blocked, Tok Sen helps you to release it. Every person has a different mindset and emotions so it might happen that you gonna cry, scream or smile during or after the therapy. It is perfectly fine. Just let your energy and emotions flow.
You will not find Tok Sen therapy in the tourist areas of Thailand and especially not in Europe. So do not forget to ask Mark for this treatment. He is an experienced Tok Sen master! After having Tok Sen, I felt reborn.
