The Traditional Medical Massage of Thailand, more commonly
known as Thai Massage, is one of the world’s oldest healing therapeutic agents.
A traditional Thai massage is a unique form of bodywork that incorporates Hatha
Yoga, acupressure, and reflexology with origins dating back 2500 years. The
roots of the Thai massage are traced back to the founder of the practice,
Komapaj: a doctor, friend and contemporary to Gautama Buddha. Ancient medical
texts were carved in ! stone in Bangkok
. These stones inscription still sit within the walls of the Wat Po temple in Bangkok
. Thai massage blends styles from its Asian neighbors passed down through the
generations. The Thai people like many others in the orient, saw illness as an
imbalance in the body, mind and spirit. They would seek help at the local
temple. They were treated with four elements of traditional Thai medicine:1. Nutritional - Counseling (focusing on diet); 2. Herbs - given both internally and externally; 3. Spiritual Counseling - primarily meditation and the
Buddhist principles; 4. Thai Massage - which forms the backbone of the physical
treatment. Unlike the scooping and continuous strokes of the Western massage,
the Thai method uses pressure points, muscle stretching and compression
performed in a rhythmic movement of gentle rocking. Therapists not only use
their hands to free tension from the client's body, but also their feet,
forearms, knees and elbows are used. The work is one fully clothed and no oils
are required. This procedure is performed on a floor mat allowing full use of
the therapist's body.
Thai medical massage can move deeper into the mechanical
functions of the body, working with deep muscle tension and joint mobility as
well as nerve, muscle and ligament balancing. Thai massage improves
flexibility, reduces tension, stimulates internal organs, and balances the
body’s energy system.

Thai Herbal
massage is another aspect of Traditional Thai massage which is used in
some areas of Thailand. The effects of the heat and the healing
properties of the herbs have a deep impact on the body. As the heat
penetrates the pores, the skin becomes heated, blood vessels are
dilated, and blood flow is stimulated, resulting in more rapid
rebuilding and nourishing of the body’s tissues. This aids in
stretching contracted or shortened muscles to alleviate pain and
tension in the body. Deep relaxation relieves stress improving overall
health and well-being. The healing properties of the specific herbs
used provide added benefits for: sinuses, skin, the respiratory system,
heart, and circulation.
