What Is Traditional Thai Massage?
Traditional Thai massage differs significantly from Western-style massages. It’s performed on a floor mat, and clients remain fully clothed. The technique involves:
Deep static and rhythmic pressures
Gentle stretching and joint mobilization
Energy line work based on Sen lines, similar to meridians in Chinese medicine
Rather than using oils or lotions, Thai massage focuses on restoring balance through pressure and movement.
Origins of Thai Massage Therapy
The roots of Thai massage go back to the time of the Buddha. Its founder, Shivago Komarpaj, was a renowned physician in India and is considered the father of Thai massage. This traditional healing method was passed down through generations in Buddhist temples, particularly Wat Pho in Bangkok, which still trains Thai massage practitioners today.
Benefits of The Thai Touch
Thai massage offers numerous physical and mental health benefits:
Increased flexibility and range of motion
Improved posture and joint mobility
Relief from chronic muscle tension and stiffness
Boosted energy levels and vitality
Reduced stress and anxiety
Enhanced circulation and lymphatic flow
Many clients describe Thai massage as both energizing and relaxing—a perfect balance.
