Let’s start by saying that I absolutely love this modality of massage.

Traditional Thai massage is an ancient healing practice that has been passed down through generations of Thai healers. It is a unique form of massage that uses a combination of acupressure, deep tissue work, and assisted yoga postures to help release tension and improve overall health.

In Thailand, traditional Thai massage is known as Nuad Boran, which translates to "ancient massage." This name reflects the long history of this healing practice, which is believed to have originated over 2,500 years ago in India.

The practice of Thai massage was brought to Thailand by Buddhist monks who traveled from India to share their knowledge of yoga and Ayurvedic medicine. Over time, Thai healers adapted these techniques to create a unique form of massage that incorporates elements of Thai culture and spirituality. Here you see how beautifully connected the ancient healing arts are.

Traditional Thai massage is performed on a floor mat, with the client fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing. The therapist uses their hands, feet, elbows, and knees to apply pressure to specific points on the body, known as "sen lines." These lines are similar to the meridians used in Chinese medicine, and are believed to be channels through which energy flows in the body.

The therapist will also guide the client through a series of assisted yoga postures, known as "passive stretching." These stretches help to improve flexibility and range of motion, while also releasing tension in the muscles and joints.

One of the key benefits of traditional Thai massage is its ability to promote deep relaxation and reduce stress. The combination of acupressure, stretching, and deep tissue work helps to release tension in the muscles and promote a sense of calm and tranquility.

Thai massage is also believed to have a number of other health benefits, including improved circulation, increased energy levels, and enhanced immune function. It is often used to help relieve chronic pain, improve sleep quality, and promote overall wellbeing.

In Thailand, traditional Thai massage is considered an essential part of daily life, and is widely practiced in homes, temples, and massage clinics throughout the country. Today, it is also gaining popularity in the US, as more people discover the many benefits of this ancient healing practice.
