Ancient Asian male massage is still practiced in various forms around the world today including Texas-Harker Heights. What we now refer to as Asian male massage techniques were originally healing rituals that were developed over many centuries in India, China and the Far East. The western world has seen an increased interest in the more holistic health approach found in disciplines such as Pilates and Yoga, and this has led to a natural interest in the Asian male massage forms including Thai male massage and Shiatsu.
Thai male massage is misleading in name, as it was actually first developed in India. It utilizes an ancient breathing technique known as Pranayama, and combines it with guided stretching and meridian pressure point therapy. The Pranyama breathing method relaxes the body and combines with the stretching and pressure point manipulation to strengthen the nervous system. At the end of a Thai male massage a ritualized final relaxation is performed which leaves most customers intensely rested.

Taking the manipulation of pressure points one step further is "tui na", more commonly known as the Chinese art of acupuncture. Acupuncture was developed over five thousand years ago and works by applying pressure to the body in certain key points. These points allow the acupuncture to activate the bodies own self-healing abilities. Acupuncture has been successfully used for centuries in the treatment of back pain, headaches and general stress. Combined with the correct relaxation music and a favorable environment it is an extremely relaxing procedure that has the added benefit of balancing the body and assisting with weight loss.
