What is traditional Thai massage?
Nuad Bo-Rarn — the real name of Thai massage — is a therapeutic practice more than 2,500 years old, developed in Thailand under the influence of Indian Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. It is practiced on a futon on the floor, with the client dressed in comfortable, oil-free clothing. The therapist uses their hands, thumbs, elbows, knees and feet to apply rhythmic pressure to the body's energy lines (Sen) and guides the body into progressive stretches.
Unlike Western massages which work on the muscles, traditional Thai works on the energy lines, joints and overall flexibility of the body. It is a holistic approach that simultaneously improves circulation, flexibility, energy balance and mental state.
The benefits of traditional Thai massage
- Exceptional flexibility and mobility — A regular session of traditional Thai produces flexibility gains comparable to several weeks of intensive yoga.
- Spinal Decompression — Guided spinal twists and extensions relieve disc compression and chronic lower back pain.
- Release energy blockages — Working on the Sen lines revives the circulation of vital energy and reduces chronic fatigue.
- Improved balance and proprioception — Ideal for athletes, dancers and people looking to improve their body awareness.
- Deep relaxation without drowsiness — Traditional Thai produces an alert state of relaxation — relaxed but fully awake, perfect for a mid-day session.
