Thai Neck Massage Turns Deadly (5 photos)

In Thailand, everyone loves to go for massages, and what's typical is that they know how to do it there. That's why at first not everyone paid attention to the deaths of tourists who went for neck massages.





But after a Singaporean singer died from the massage itself during a Thai massage, the police announced the cause - all these deaths were due to certain massage techniques. That is, from twisting the neck, which can damage blood vessels and lead to paralysis

Unique Asian massage

I agree, to go to Thailand and never have a real massage? It's stupid not to try. However, something happened to the school of Thai massage therapists if they were to blame for a chain of deaths (but not at the hands of one massage therapist).



And in this massage center everything is literally put on stream, not a centimeter of extra space

Different places - one reason

It is alarming that the death of each of the deceased women was in different salons and cities. Singaporean singer had two neck twist massages and a heavy hand massage that left her with bruises all over her body for a week. Afterwards, one arm became paralyzed and then died.

One in Udon Thani, another in Phuket, and a 52-year-old man died after a massage right on the table at a salon on Patong Beach.

Since each deceased had different types of death, it is difficult to identify one technique that would be considered fatal for massage practice.

But experts are already demanding that tourists unfamiliar with local massages be warned or even banned from certain massage practices. It seems that they themselves do not know what they are agreeing to, and then you have to answer for them.



I tried such a hard massage, but I did not like it. For my money to be tormented like that?!

But the main reason is considered to be the technique of twisting the neck during the massage of the cervical spine. Such a massage is always a risk of damaging the walls of the blood vessels supplying the brain if done incorrectly.

The more rigid the technique and the stronger the hands of the massage therapist, the higher the risk of making a deadly movement, and unnoticed by the master himself.



Have you ever seen that famous neck massage WITH A SNAP? You can't do that

At the moment, doctors in Thailand ask you to warn before the start of a massage session so that the masseuses do not twist or turn your neck sharply. But how can you do this if the masseuses do not know foreign languages, and the tourists do not speak the local language? Almost no way.

Here is phobia number 124 for you in the piggy bank of phobias.

The government is still unsure what action to take against further accidental massage deaths before it ruins the reputation of massage tourist spots.
