Thai massage is an ancient healing art.
It is a communication through touch. The practice of Thai Massage originates back thousands of years in Buddhist temples.
Doctor Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, the Buddha’s physician over 2,500 years ago, is entitled as the founder of medicine and Thai massage.
Ancient documents praise him for his extraordinary medical skills, his knowledge of herbal medicine.
By massaging along the energy lines – Sen or Sib Sen – working on the physical body, tensions and blockages soften, resulting in better general health on the physical, emotional and mental level.
Thai massage has a holistic approach that sees and treats people as a whole, including the spiritual aspects of the self. It is a dialogue between two people and finally a communication to oneself. This way of working with the body creates an in-depth connection with the musculoskeletal system and creates space for deeper emotional and mental understanding.
Thai massage is practiced down to earth on a futon. The client wears comfortable loose clothes.
