Throughout its history, Thai Massage was influenced by yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, as
well as Chinese medicine.
Thai Medicine, which Thai Massage is a part of, was preserved by Buddhist monks. One
can also find folk elements in Thai Massage. Because the women were not allowed to
the temples to get treatment from monks, family members learned how to treat each
other.
Today Thai Massage is still taught and practiced in Buddhist temples and massage
schools throughout the Thailand.
It has also became very popular in the western countries for it’s philosophy, benefits
and deeply relaxing effect.

Typical session starts with the client laying on the back, then a gentle compression
and stretching is used to warm up and open the body, beginning with the legs.
Treatment continues throughout the body with focus on the problematic areas. The
pressure is always adjusted to client’s comfort.
Client stays fully clothed (comfortable cotton pants or sweatpants and a T-shirt
recommended). There is no use of oils. Traditionally, the massage is performed on
futon mat. If client's condition doesn't allow to lie down on the mat, massage can be
performed on the massage table.
