What is Thai Massage?

Originating in Thailand over 2,500 years ago, Thai Massage, also known as Thai Yoga Massage or Nuad Boran, is deeply rooted in the principles of Buddhist teachings and traditional Thai medicine. It's not just a massage; it's a holistic therapy that aims to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit.

The technique

At Profound Touch, our skilled therapists use a combination of gentle pressure, rhythmic compressions, and passive stretching techniques to release tension, improve flexibility, and promote the flow of energy throughout the body. Unlike other massage modalities where you lay passively, Thai Massage is performed on a comfortable mat on the floor, allowing for greater freedom of movement and flexibility.

The Benefits of Swedish Massage

    Through a series of stretching and yoga-like movements, Thai Massage helps improve joint mobility and flexibility, leaving you feeling more agile and supple.

  • Stress Relief

    The rhythmic pressure and gentle stretching of Thai Massage help calm the nervous system, reduce stress levels, and promote a profound sense of relaxation.

  • Pain Relief

    Whether you're experiencing muscular tension, chronic pain, or discomfort, Thai Massage can help alleviate aches and pains by releasing tight muscles and promoting better circulation.

  • Improved Posture

    Regular Thai Massage sessions can help correct postural imbalances, relieve muscular tension, and promote proper alignment, leading to better posture and reduced risk of injury.

  • Enhanced Energy Flow

    By targeting specific energy lines (Sen) in the body, Thai Massage aims to clear blockages and restore the natural flow of energy, revitalizing both body and mind.

    Through its holistic approach, Thai Massage harmonizes the body's energy systems, promoting balance, harmony, and overall well-being.
