Tok Sen massage is an ancient northern Thai massage practice that involves the use of a special wooden hammer, made from the bark of the tamarind tree, to relax muscles in a rhythmically tapping motion, ‘Tok Sen’.
Tok means to hammer or hit and sen refers to the pathways in the body. Tok Sen massage helps treat physical aches and pains, releases energy blocks, improves pure circulation, as well as helps to alleviate nerve problems.
Tok Sen ancient Thai treatment is a very soothing massage that is effective at promoting a sense of calm. A special wooden hammer and wedge are used, and following specific points of the body, a rhythmic tapping is set up which creates a resonance that passes through the muscles and into the rest of the body. This resonance helps to dislodge stubborn tension. By contributing to the release and relaxation of the body a sense of well-being and ease is felt, as a more natural flow of energy is re-established. This is an excellent choice for those who enjoy a firm yet deeply relaxing massage experience.
Tok Sen is one of the ultimate massage experiences that both relaxes us and energizes us at the same time from deep within! The repetitive sound of the tapping as well as the deep vibrations created produces a sensation of relaxation and tranquility that brings us into a meditative state clearing our minds of almost any distraction. At the same time, 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 Tok Sen on the body’s 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.
My 9-5 desk job has awarded me with back pain. I feel like part of my spine has become stone. Thought of pampering myself with a body spa. It felt like a responsibility to share my experience with these guys. I am Relieeeeeeeved! Every pressure glide-every twitch made me feel like my whole body was a tied rope with several knots, and those knots are now untied. Thank you Benz! You are a true healer!

My mother has developed joint pain and is afraid of medical shots. One of my friends suggested to get her a Thai Massage as it is very effective for pain relief. That’s when I visited Benz Thai Massage & Spa. These guys did wonder! My mum instantly felt the relief and now she gets her periodic massage and walks faster than me 😀!

The difference mainly lies in the techniques used and the focus of your treatment. If you wish to get comfort and relief from tensed muscles you can go for a Spa Massage. Spa Massage treatment is more focused on uplifting your mood and overall bodily re-energization. On the contrary, Thai Deep Tissue Massage is more focused on healing you physically and helping you to mentally relax. A spa treatment can be done by almost anyone, but a Thai Deep Tissue Massage requires a trained expert who has knowledge of this technique and an understanding of body joints, muscles, and connective tissues.
Thai Deep Tissue Massage is great for restoring smooth functioning of body limbs, and blood circulation. Through monitored massage pressure, our massage specialists can optimize the release of chronic pain and thereby harmonize your key body systems. Each client has their own unique circumstances but in most cases, our experience supports that Thai Deep tissue massage is best for a tight back, unless your circumstances are contraindicated for this type of massage.
It completely depends on the type of service you wish to avail and the severity of your body stiffness. Generally, the time span for a Massage appointment is usually 1 hour, however, we can accommodate sessions from 30 to 90 minutes.
Eat light and stay hydrated. This will help you feel the massage/spa experience at its fullest. Communicate your treatment needs to your massage specialist. Remember you can only get the best massage experience when your massage specialist clearly understands your treatment goals.
