Thai massage actually originated in India during the Buddha’s lifetime, over 2500 years ago. As Buddhism spread from India, so did this form of healing massage, which involves manipulation using stretching techniques and gentle pressure along the meridians or energy lines of the body to release toxins and waste materials from the joints, muscles and connective tissue, and stimulate internal organs by gentle pressure on specific energy points.

This form of massage is especially good for releasing stress and tension, and encouraging relaxation of both mind and body.

Thai massage is carried out on a mat, which is laid out on the floor and the therapist uses both hands and feet to apply pressure to the client’s fully-clothed body, carrying out a range of gentle stretching movements.

With the focus on the client’s energy lines, the therapist aims to unblock stagnant and trapped energy, stimulating specific energy points and encouraging the body’s own life force (or chi) to flow freely and easily.

Thai massage is normally carried out in silence as, for the therapist, the giving of the massage is an important meditative and spiritual practice.
