Thai massage, also known as Nuad Boran, is an ancient healing practice that originated in Thailand over 2,500 years ago. It combines elements of yoga, acupressure, and traditional Chinese medicine, and is deeply rooted in the culture and spirituality of Thailand. The massage is performed on a mat on the floor, with the recipient wearing comfortable clothing, as it involves a series of assisted stretching with rhythmic pressure, passive joint movement and breath, allowing the recipient to enter into a relaxed and open state. This has a powerfully calming effect on the nervous system, helping to bring the body and mind back to balance.
Thai massage can greatly relieve muscle and fascial tension, improve range of motion, flexibility, circulation, lymphatic drainage and improve overall mood, immune function and aid in better sleep.
