Thai Massage or Thai Yoga Massage is a holistic
therapy form with roots in Yoga, Ayurveda and Buddhist spiritual practices. In
Thailand it is known as Nuad Boran, which means “ancient healing” or “sacred medicine”.
Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha is historically considered to be
the founder of Thai Massage and honored by the Thai people as the “Father of
Medicine”, dating back to about 2500 years ago. He was contemporary to Buddha
and was his physician.
Thai Yoga Massage uses the body weight, loving touch
and meditative awareness to invite the receiver to gradually release tensions
in the body and mind. It combines yoga postures, stretching and pressure
applied along ten main energy lines (‘Sen’) of the body using the hands,
thumbs, elbows, knees and feet.
