Introductions
Traditional medicine is the knowledge, skills and practice of holisti c health care,
recognized and accepted for its role in the maintenance of health and the treatment of
diseases. It is based on indigenous theories, beliefs and experiences that are handed
down from generation to generation1 . Although modern medicine is widely spread,
traditional medicine still exists and widely used in many countries. Interest in traditional
medicine has increased over the last decade. People are now more prepared to look for
alternative approaches to maintain their health.
World Health Organization’s (WHO) traditional medicine programme was developed in
conjunction with the adoption of the health for all strategy and the primary health care
approach. The Regional Strategy for Traditional Medicine in Western Pacific Region
was prepared to help guide national governments, WHO and other partners in the
efforts to ensure the proper use of traditional medicine and its contribution for
maintaining health and fighting diseases in the Region. One of the strategies indicates
the need
to
promote public awareness and access to traditional medicine. It
recommends that government and non government organization
should motivate
healers to cooperate and voluntarily share their healing knowledge and practices.
Access to traditional medicine through informed choice should be facilitated and mutual
understanding between practitioners of traditional and modern medicine should be
promoted.
In January 2006 ,the Malaysian Cabinet had approved the establishment of Traditional
and Complementary Medicine ( T&CM) unit in three hospitals, Kepala Batas Hospital in
Penang, Putrajaya Hospital in Federal Territory of Putrajaya and Sultan Ismail Hospital
in Johore. The implementation of the pioneer project is towards integrating traditional
and complementary medicine into the existing public healthcare delivery system..
To implement the services, the unit is provided with T&CM practice guidelines on the
three modalities of treatment.

2.
Objectives
The objective are to promote the highest standards in the practice of the Malay
Massage modalities of treatment and to ensure public safety.
3.
Massage
Massage has been categorized under the Manipulative and Body Base Method
according to National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, National
Institute of Health, United State of America. Massage has shown to improve the
circulation, relieving many common muscle aches and pains, boosting immunity and
promoting an overall sense of well being 2.
Massage may be used as primary therapeutic intervention or as an adjunct to other
therapeutic techniques3 . The mode of action 4,5 are by : (1) mobilization of inter-tissue
fluids, (2) reduction or modification of edema, (3) increase of local blood flow, (4)
decrease of muscle soreness and stiffness, (5) moderation of pain, (6) facilitation of
relaxation, and (7) prevention or elimination of adhesions .
3.1
Malay Massage
The Malay massage is a mixture of kneading, stroking and pressing with hands
(Diagram 1: Massage Techniques / Strokes). The massage strokes are done depending
on the masseur’s judgment of one’s body need, and selected natural plants or herbal
oils are applied during the massage 6,7. It also sometimes accompanied with special
pray incantations and take home advise in form of post massage work out/ exercises 8,9.
Malay massage is divided into two types of massage based on their purpose; wellness
and therapeutic massage. For the purpose of wellness, the massage helps in reducing
anxiety, improving sleeps, in boosting immunity of the body10 and in reducing stress.
2
Massage that fall into this categories includes relaxation massage (urutan merehatkan
badan), rejuvenating
massage ( urutan penyegaran badan) and Improve blood
circulation massage (urutan melancarkan peredaran darah).
Therapeutic massage on the other hand helps to improve the condition of a particular
illness and in reducing severity of pain. Common illness that benefit from such massage
includes sprains and low back pain. Therapeutic massages are specified into massage
of nerve ailments, joints ailments, sprains, muscle ailments and others. (Appendix I:
Types of Malay Massage)

Petua and Pantang Larang

Before Malay massage procedure: every patient is advised
to have light meals / breakfast as a fasting patient may be at
risk of fainting episodes or hypoglycaemia. Too heavy a
meal may also lead to ineffective massage.
b.
Shower / Bath
If patient needed to take a bath, please do so after 1 hour
completed Malay massage procedure.
c.
Rest
Rest at least for 1 hour after completed massage.
d.
Rehydrates

rehydrate themselves after massage. This is to prevent
muscle soreness that occur post massage.

Procedures and Techniques
Massage treatment takes a variety of forms and may last between 15 to
90 minutes. (15-45 minutes for chronic pain and 60-90 minutes for post stroke
cases)
Treatment starts with a case history, assessment on the client’s condition
and the indications for massage 11 (Please refer appendix 2: Work Process for
Malay traditional Masseur). During clerking for the case history and doing the
assessment for suitability for massage, the practitioner/masseur are required to
document all findings in the clerking form .(Appendix 3: Borang Penilaian Urutan
Melayu).Additional information can be obtain in the screening form if so required
(Appendix 4 : Screening Form). During the assessment, if the client is not
suitable for the treatment, advice to seek appropriate medical treatment should
be given.(please refer Section 6 : Contraindications for Massage)
Before starting any procedures or treatment, practitioner are required to
explain the procedures to the patient prior signing the consent form( Appendix 5 :
Consent Form For Malay Massage). All procedures are also required to be
documented in patient’s record. Malay massage treatment session ends with
counseling and advises regarding dietary intakes and exercise technique for
patient to continue at home. The number and frequency of follow up visit for
Malay massage treatment are catered according to individual bases (Appendix 6:
Guide in Treatment Plan of Malay Massage for Chronic Pain and Post Stroke
Management). However, any adverse event or side effect that occurs must be
reported and documented in appropriate form for further action.
In the unit, to preserve the authenticity of Malay massage technique, all Malay
massage are done on a raised floor that made of wood known as pangkin (figure

massage techniques are shown in Diagram 1: Massage Techniques/Strokes.
All type of massage oil being used must be registered with the Ministry of Health,
