Rhythm is the steady rocking tempo that keeps the receiver from bracing against pressure.
In πThai Bodywork palming and stretches arrive on a pulse, not as surprises. Speed is how the work becomes a fight. Rhythm is a dose variable, not a diagnosis, and not a claim about the nervous system as a medical fact. If the receiver braces, the tempo slows before the pressure drops.
Clients feel a wave they can stay with. Sharp or panicky sensation is a stop.
