Tok-sen AKA Hammer Massage

May 28, 2025
A woman is getting a massage with a wooden stick on her back.

Ever Heard of massage with a hammer and chisel. If regular massage just doesn't cut it and no one can go deep enough to break through your tension, I bet TOK-SEN would be a solution for you. Come in and try it. Here's a little background information on it. Personally, I find it very relaxing and I've even helped postpartum women find relief with it. 


# Tok Sen massage is popularly called “hammer therapy”

# Tok means to hit and Sen means line and refers to energy pathways.

# This therapy has its ancient roots in the northern Thailand (called Lanna region)

# The Tok-Sen therapist employs a wood mallet and wedge; the therapist gently (with two three or four consecutive) taps

and by continuously working along the lines of the body the therapist intermittently integrates the taps with limited massage therapy (strokes and stretches) from traditional Thai massage.


# Using mallet and wedge produces penetrating vibrations – which resonate and penetrate through the deep layers of tissue and bones.


# These vibrations (1) relax stiff bodies, (2) provide pain relief and (3) efficiently releases blockages – thereby significantly increasing flows – within the bodyHammer Massage?
