Thai Massage
Thai massage has roots in India, China and Thailand. In this healing massage we see influences from acupuncture and yoga. All elements in thai massage help to open and balance the body. These energies of the body travel through pathways called Sen, which have similarities to the Chinese Meridians and India Nadis.
Today, you can still find Traditional Thai Massage throughout Thailand and with more and more westerners traveling to Thailand this ancient body therapy continues to evolve.

A Brief History of Thai Massage
