Massage Therapy
Traditional Thai massage is a Thai healing art that has existed for over 700 years, dating back to the Ayutthaya period. It has been preserved through generations and recorded at Wat Pho in Bangkok, aiming to restore balance between body and mind through the harmony of the four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire.

Nuad Thai, traditional Thai massage, is regarded as part of the art and science of traditional Thai healthcare. As a non-medicinal remedy and manual therapy, it involves bodily manipulation to help rebalance the patient’s body, energy and structure to treat illnesses believed to be caused by the obstruction of energy flow along ‘sen’, lines crisscrossing the human body. Nuad Thai has its roots in self-care in Thai peasant society of the past; over time, these experiences have been passed down over the generations, evolving into a formal system of knowledge.
