What’s Thai massage?
Thai massage or Nuad Phaen Boran. In thai language, Nuad means "massage." Bo-rarn means "ancient." So in Thailand, it is an ancient massage. Some also translate it as "ancient healing way."
Thai massage is a form of therapeutic touch that differs in many ways from tradition massage. You lie on a mat on the floor or the table while the provider manipulates your body in certain ways to stimulate organs and improve flexibility.
Thai massage is part of traditional Thai medicine. Similar to Chinese medicine, it works with the body's energetic pathways. These are also called sen. You can leave your clothes on for a Thai massage. It's important to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is easy to move in. With other forms of massage, you typically remove all or most of your clothing. Thai massage practitioners move your limbs around to stretch joints and gently massage key areas of the body according to traditional Thai medicinal theory.

The History of Thai Massage
Many historians agree that it started at least 2,500 years ago. They attribute its start to an Indian doctor, Shivago Komarpaj, also called Jivaka Buccha Komar. He is known throughout Asia as "Father Doctor." Shivago Komarpaj was the Buddha’s doctor. He helped to spread traditional medicinal practices throughout southern Asia. Over the years, with foreign influences, Thai massage has developed into a popular holistic health tradition that includes aspects of yoga, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine.
The concept
Thai massage encompasses the entire body. The theory of Thai massage is based on the concept of energy lines linked to the body, called “sen”. Although traditional Thai medicine writings mention 72,000 energy lines, there are 10 main lines. This type of massage is a manual therapy aimed at rebalancing energy flows along the “sen” in order to strengthen or restore health.

Massage
Treating the body with a massage is an ancient tradition that still continues today.
Studies show that massage is an effective treatment method for treating pain but also for relaxation. Thai massage is a combination of yoga, stretching and acupressure and works with the energy lines of the body, while oil massage is a more relaxing form of massage, where odorless or aromatic oils are used. You work with calm movements throughout the body. Focus more on kneading and muscle relaxation.
