Traditional Thai massage or "Nuad" can be traced back to ancient Thailand's history of healing.
The techniques that became Thai Massage were originally developed by a north Indian doctor named Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, a contemporary of Buddha and physician at the court of the Magadha king Bimbisara more than 2500 years ago.
Due to its scientifically proven healing effects and its simple techniques, Thai Massage is still widely practised in Thailand among all social groups.
It even plays an important part in the country's health care system.
Thai massage is traditionally based on the concept that all levels of the human being are naturally interconnected.
Therefore its main objective is the integrity of nature, body, mind and soul.
In contrast to the classical western types of massage, it is less oriented toward the physical-anatomical features of the human body, and more toward energy lines and energy fields, comparable to the meridians of Chinese medicine.
The techniques of acupressure and reflexology massage are closely related.
While conventional massage techniques mainly focus on stroking and kneading of the skin, traditional Thai massage refers to "local areas" of the body.
The stimulation of these areas by massage treatment also brings relief to the corresponding organs and body systems.
By stretching the whole muscular system the blood circulation of skin, connective tissues and muscles is being drastically improved.
Thai massage is often referred to as "passive yoga."
