Thai massage is a form of body work that has gained wide popularity around the world. A complete Thai massage incorporates a traditional combination of point pressure, energy meridian work, and yoga-like stretching for an invigorating and balancing experience. Clients are raving about Thai massage, its great stress relief and the way it eliminates tension helping them to feel completely relaxed. Its unique style and graceful movements bring well being to both the client and practitioner. Thai massage is fast becoming the most popular massage technique because of its lasting effects. Thai massage requires qualified instruction to ensure safety for both the client and practitioner.

Thai massage is most different from other forms of massage in that there is no oil used, that the practitioner uses a mattress on the floor (as opposed to a table), and that the client remains comfortable clothed throughout the massage. That helps to open this modality and your services to many new clients.

Thai massage blends point pressure and stretching benefiting those who find themselves stiff, sore, and tired from over-exertion in work or sports, or from arthritis or other debilitating diseases. Thai massage enhances strength and flexibility, relaxes sore or tense muscles, and can help to recapture lost range of motion. By encouraging lymphatic function, this traditional massage can also detoxify the body, heighten the immune system, and prevent disease and/or injury by promoting flexibility.

The origin of Thai massage is largely debated and mostly unknown at this time. There is current research underway to further discover its origins, in honesty we may never truly known.. Mostly all historical information related to Thai massage was destroyed during the wars between Thailand and its neighbors and in some ways this amazing art is covered in a shroud of mystery. Multiple theories and ideas have emerged over the years which we discuss at length in our Basic Thai massage course. Mostly all practitioners from qualified schools trace the origins of Thai massage back to the legendary figure Jivaka Komarabhacca or Shivago Komarpaj. Shivago lived during the time of the historical Buddha and become a renowned healer and is largely credited with being the founder of traditional Thai medicine. What has emerged in Thailand are two predominate schools teaching authentic traditional Thai massage. Wat Po, in Bangkok the capital city of Thailand, and the Old Medicine Hospital in the northern part of Thailand, Chiang Mai. The Thai Institute of Healing Arts teaches the same curriculum from the Old Medicine Hospital and our lineage traces back to this prestigious school.
