rooster59 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Dead from a Thai massage? No blame attached to parlor, says wife Image: Sanook Thai news sites and social media were abuzz yesterday after a video was shared of a Thai man who died while having a massage. Questions were being asked as to how safe a Thai massage is. "Ton" the assumed name of the younger brother of the victim explained what happened to Sanook. Ton said that his brother had been playing football with friends and suffered a twisted ankle. He went for treatment at a doctor. A week later the victim and some friends went to the floating market where the victim complained of being in leg pain and wanted to get a Thai massage. After being in the massage shop ten minutes he stopped breathing. It was 30 minutes before an ambulance arrived. He could not be revived. Doctors said that he died from a blood clot. The victim's wife said she attached no blame to the massage shop and had not filed a claim with police. She said she received 40,000 baht from the shop.

canuckamuck Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 A massage is not a good treatment for a twisted ankle. It does nothing to help the damaged tissue, and it can encourage blood clots to break free and hit vital areas, as what happened here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy chappie Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I had a friend from uk arrive in Pattaya and had a massage and it released a blood clot and he died in the same way.it probably formed while flying out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder26 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I witnessed an incident once at Mali Market near Impact Arena where a woman lost conscience during a dodgy spine massage using a piece of wood and hammer. After seeing that I believe that Thai massage can kill you if not done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the first line, but only partially with the blood clots part. Would not blood clots "break free" eventually, with or without massage ?

Orton Rd Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I would not have a Thai massage if I was paid to, the last one in 2011 nearly crippled me. Too many of them at it are not qualified, even if they do have a certificate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestB Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 What do they expect when training takes 3 days and that’s if they bothered to actually train. First hand experience , went in with neck pain due to bad night sleep , came out with numb hand for 6 months . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil massage is not bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my impression too, i would rather point to the cynicism of some "massage people" who assure the customer to be able to solve a problem, which they know they cannot. Twisted ankle ? Rest and a bag of ice, as far as i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 1 hour ago, sweatalot said: DVT followed by pulmonary embolism Bingo The probem was nto the twisted ankle but the leg pain which signalled a DVT. Definitely should NOT massgae a limb with a possible DVT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit undermining what some of these ladies/men do to make a living. Its not cheap for them to study. You probably went for the happy ending type & had an unqualified street girl rubbing you down. Ask to see their certification next time. http://www.watpomassage.com/2014/index.php?r=/site/article&id=14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man had already complained of leg pain prior to going to the massage shop which is an indicator for a DVT. But without a Drs. diagnosis and proper treatment once the clot causes a pulmonary embolism the man's death was most eminent. The masage may have accelerated the process but would be only secondary to the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 If you want to be assurred of proper training (including screening for contraindications to massage) most Thai government hospitals and health centers have Thai massage.Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poanoi Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 i go to an awful lot of massage all the time since i got unbearable pain, it differs a whole wide world between them, easily 95% are not worth the time, let alone money, but some put their back into it, and with my kind of pain, i chose death over the pain of no massage, even tho the massage itself is terribly painful too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
