Heavy-handed 'Jap Sen' massage
Massages are a well-known phenomenon in Thailand. The best known are the Thai and oil massages. A 59-year-old Thai woman opted for a Thai massage, a specific “Jap Sen” massage, a special form of traditional Thai massage. Extra pressure is exerted to be effective.
Unfortunately, the customer's right knee broke in the process. It seems obvious that the massage parlor pays for the costs. However, the customer has reported this to the police to avoid any misunderstandings.

Sights4 August 2024Chinese temples in Bangkok
This story exists in many scents and colors.
The most 'complete' version is something like this:
The lady regularly went to a traditional massage shop, but was at this Jap-Sen shop for the first time.
Her knee didn't break, but the lower leg, just below the knee.
The owner/masseur agreed to pay the treatment costs.
Subsequently, the owner finds out that the woman had not reported that she suffered from osteoporosis. If she had, she would not have received this massage.
The owner decides to withdraw his commitment and still demand compensation for the service provided. In view of the shorter than usual treatment 50% of the normal price. After all, he cannot be blamed.
The woman's daughter then angrily goes to the media with the story that the masseur had wanted to fob her mother off with a 50% discount despite a broken leg and officially submits a complaint / claim for damages.
So will be prosecuted in court…
One of the Thai massages is a Yap-Sen massage, which can be applied in a massage parlor.
If you go to a massage parlor in Thailand or anywhere else and you have osteoporosis and / or arthrosis like myself (66 years old) you must of course indicate this. In the Netherlands I would receive a manual treatment, luckily (11 years ago in the Netherlands) I had a good therapist who told me, Mrs. If it hurts so much, I will stop immediately and please have your bones checked. Immediately to the doctor and yes. If I hadn't had such a good therapist in the Netherlands, they probably would have broken my hip. Yes really. So always listen to your own body and use common sense. A quiet massage, with the words la wang, la wang then they really know how to massage you. Of course these ladies can't smell that if you don't point it out.
As a Physiotherapist / manual therapist, I am obliged from my expertise to ask about age.
We all get osteoporosis as we get older. The practitioner should know that, so also the massage parlor in Thailand. (I don't think this is important with oil massage)
Many people don't even know if they have premature osteoporosis! Especially in women, accelerated osteoporosis can occur after the menopause.
Don't forget that many people don't even know that there are different massage techniques in Thailand.
The intensity of some massages in Thailand with regard to possible complaints raises questions. This should be known to the practitioner if they have any knowledge.
