Thai Massage
Ancient Massage or Thai Massage is an extraordinary method of aligning the energies of the body, and originates from the time of the Buddha.
Nuad Phaen Boran as is it called in Thailand, correctly translates only as Ancient Massage or Traditional Massage. More widely known today as Thai Massage, it is also often called Traditional Thai Massage, Ancient Thai Massage and occasionally Yoga Massage or Thai Yoga Massage. In our web pages, we wanted to use only Ancient Massage to be faithful to the original appellation but had to change our mind and also use Thai Massage to be referenced correctly by the search engines and so forth. If we did not use the words "Thai Massage", who would have found us and the information we wanted to share with students, researchers and practitioners of this art.
The Healing Hands Center is dedicated to offering hands-on training in the art of Ancient Massage or Thai Massage.
Thai Foot Massage
Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the lower legs and feet that is well established in Thailand with influence from Japan, Korea and China. This type of massage originated about 2000 years ago. It has become an integral part of Traditional Thai Massage and has elements of Shiatsu, Reflexology, Chinese Massage and Yoga incorporated into the massage itself.
Thai Foot Massage involves hands on stretching and massage, along with the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points. It is still taught by Buddhist monks in the temples of Thailand.
Traditional Thai Massage and Thai Foot Massage compliment each other beautifully. Thai Massage balances the elements of the mind and body, while Thai Foot Massage stimulates the internal organs, giving the receiver a holistic treatment
