About Thai Massage
Thai Traditional Massage: Nuat phaen boran, which accurately translates as
ancient massage and traditional massage is also know now as Thai
Traditional massage. It is soothing because of its emphasis on stretching
and loosening the body. Its roots go back far into history, originating in
India based on the Ayurveda, and has incorporated modalities like yoga.The
receiver is put into many yoga like positions during the course of the
massage.The massage art was brought over to Thailand by a contemporary of
Buddha almost about 2500 years ago.It is an ancient therapeutic procedure
which provides relaxation, balance in the body's various centers, healthy
blood circulation, and an overall manipulation of the physical form and
structure of the body. Although in English the word massage is used, the
essence of Thai Traditional Massage is very different from what we
generally associate with the word. Whereas most traditional western and
eastern massage practices focus on tissue manipulation and the working of
the muscles and joints, Thai Traditional Massage barely touches on either
of these. It is rather a working of the pressure points, energy lines, and
basic body forces which together produce a highly therapeutic effect.
