About Thai massage
Thai massage, also known as Nuad Boran, is a traditional healing practice from Thailand that blends acupressure, Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. This ancient technique uses hands, elbows, knees, and feet to apply pressure along the body’s energy lines (Sen lines), helping to relieve tension, enhance flexibility, and restore balance. Rooted in the rich traditions of the Wat Pho temple in Bangkok, Thai massage is celebrated for its holistic approach, promoting physical relaxation, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
Thai massage is recognized by the United Research and Education Society (UNIRECSO) as an important cultural and therapeutic practice. This recognition highlights the significance of Thai massage in traditional medicine and wellness, ensuring its global promotion and preservation as a respected part of holistic health practices.
