The origin
Traditional Thai Massage, or Thai Yoga Therapy, or Nuat Thai,
is a therapeutic technique dating back two thousand years ago,
its lineage tracing directly to Shivago Komarpahj, the personal
physician and friend to the Lord Buddha himself, also known as
the renowned healer, widely respected as a saint.
Health & Well Being
Traditional Thai Massage is most natural and best approach to
health & well being, which includes a proper nutrition, physical
exercises, the use of natural herbs and therapeutic massage.
The primary goal of the Traditional Thai Massage could most
accurately be described as maintaining health and well being,
as ancient Thais had always believed that absence of illness is
in fact the best humane blessing of any.
Sen lines
According to diagrams inscribed on the walls of Wat Po Temple
in Bangkok, one of the most fundamental principle of Traditional
Thai medicine is that energy flows through a human body along
ten major channels, or Sen Lines. If a disturbance occurs within
any of the lines, the pain or disease comes as a result, in which
sense the traditional Thai medicine, as all other ancient healing
systems, does believe that every illness is caused by imbalance
or disturbance between an individual and his very environment.
