While staying in Thailand, we recommend you try Thai Traditional Massage. Thai massage, also traditionally known as Nuad Bo-Rarn, is a type of Oriental bodywork therapy based on the treatment of the human body, mind, and spirit. The treatment heals the surrounding electromagnetic or energetic fields, as well as instills and returns the body to life through pressure and manipulative massage.

Thai massage origin

The origins of traditional Thai massage reportedly began over 2,000 years ago, along with the introduction of Buddhism. It is one of four branches of traditional medicine in Thailand, the others being herbs, nutrition, and spiritual practice. The legendary historical creator of Thai medicine, Dr. Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, known as Shivago Komarpaj in Thailand, was from the north of India, a close associate of Buddha, and the leader of the original community gathered around him. Medicine came into Thailand with the migration of monks from India, possibly around the 2nd century BC. Thai medicine developed within the context of Buddhist monasteries and temples, where Thai have traditionally sought relief from all kinds of suffering.

While the recorded history of Thai massage was lost during the Burmese attack on the royal capital of Ayutthia in 1767, the surviving records are now inscribed in stone and can be found at the Sala Moh Nuat (massage pavilion) within the temple of Pra Chetuphon in Bangkok, known as Wat Po, the temple of the reclining Buddha. Its spiritual aspect also remains, as teachers of the therapy begin classes with the practice of Waikhru, a series of prayers and recitations dedicated to Shivago Komarpaj, the father of Thai massage and the Goddess of Healing, and teachers of the tradition through the centuries.

Benefits

The benefits of Thai massage are numerous, with the most predominant being the maintenance of good health and the ability to treat a broad spectrum of health concerns. Traditional Thai massage is known for its ability to clear the energy pathways.
