Jap Kasai (Dragon Tendon Massage)
Jap Kasai (จับกษัย) is a therapeutic massage from Thai traditional medicine. In Thai medicine, "kasai" refers to the gradual decline and poor circulation that come with age. The technique presses the tendons of the lower abdomen, groin area and legs to relax the body and support local circulation. In Chinese it is called 抓龙筋 ("dragon tendon").
