What is Thai Massage

Thai massage is an ancient form of bodywork developed in Thailand with influences from India and China. However, Thai Massage belongs to a branch of the Thai medicine system, which is separate and distinct from Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine.  A complete Thai massage  will utilize a combination of many techniques and modalities including acupressure, energy line work(sen lines), joint mobilization and yoga-like stretching. This is a clothed massage done on a futon-like mat on the floor. Recipients will receive this profound form of body work in prone, supine, side-lying, and seated positions. Thai massage is also known as Nuad Boran (“ancient massage”) and Thai yoga massage.
