Thai Massage is a form of bodywork that has been around for many 100's of years.  Also known as Nuad Boran, Thai Yoga Massage, Traditional Thai Massage or Ancient Massage, this bodywork has it's origins in India and draws from the yogic tradition. The person accredited with being the founding father of Thai Massage is Ayurvedic doctor, physician & friend to the Buddha - Jivaka Khumar Bhaccha.  Since this bodywork historically appeared in Buddhist temples as part of the Buddhist monks health care regime, it combines Yogic and Buddhist philosophies, yoga postures, Ayurvedic principles and martial arts style moves. Thai Massage is a comprehensive full-body treatment that manipulates & stretches tissue, mobilizes joints, moves energy, can relieve discomfort among other things and is effortlessly modified as needed to suit the receiver.
