Thai massage has existed for about 2,500 years

This form of massage includes influences from both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine.

Thai massages differ from the typical Western massage in that it doesn’t involve lying on a massage bed and having a massage therapist apply oil all over your body while kneading your muscles and pressure points.

Instead, it involves the person getting the massage lying on the floor while the therapist employs pulling, stretching, and rocking techniques in order to promote relaxation, relieve tension and enhance circulation and flexibility.
