Thai massage is one of the ancient healing arts of traditional Thai medicine, the others being heral medicine and spiritual meditation. Traditional Thai massage has been practised for at least 1000 years. Thai massage takes its roots from Tui Na Chinese massage and manipulation, Ayurvedic Indian massage and Shiatsu Japanese massage, which dates back over 4000 years. Indian yoga has a very obvious influence in Thai massage and this is apparant in the extremely disciplined manner in which the energy channels known as Sen are treated.

Sen is the name given to the flow of the body's vital life energy. This energy powers all the physical, mental and emotional processes which will only function normally when energy supply matches demand. The careful application of pressure along these channels help to release any energy blockages and stagnation. The pressing and stretching of muscles makes them more receptive to this flow.

Yoga is generally accepted as being an effective way of remaining healthy and flexible, however, receiving a Thai Massage is the ultimate lazy and simple way of obtaining all the benefits of yoga and more, without having to do it yourself.

In the Western World, stiffness and loss of flexibility are regarded as the inevitable result of the ageing process. How you feel physically, mentally and emotionally is far more important than your physical age. This is where Thai massage is unique in its ability to preserve youthfulness.
