The History Of Thai Massage

Traditional Thai massage or medical massage is one of the worlds oldest healing modalities. The ancient art dates back over 2500 year, to the temples and traditions of Buddhism and even Buddha himself. It originated in India and as Buddhism spread this healing medicine spread with it to Thailand. Thai people, like many others in the orient, saw illness as an imbalance in the body, mind and spirit.  

 What Is Thai Massage?

Traditional Thai massage therapy is an interactive manipulation of the body, by using deep stretches assisted with yoga – like postures, gentle pressures along sen (energy) lines and on acupressure points. It is a holistic and natural based massage that stretches and kneads all the major muscle groups of the body. This helps to open and realign the body. 

The positions of Thai massage are designed to improve joint flexibility, lengthen and relax the muscles, to relieve any pressure caused by poor alignment.

The body runs on vital energies that circulate through energy channels. When these channels become blocked we can become prone to illness or injury. Thai massage can detect and release these energy blocks. This is why many people say that after a Thai massage they feel both relaxed and energised at the same time.

Your massage therapy would be carried out by a professional Thai Massage therapist.
