Service Description

Thai massage was traditionally practiced by monks as a component of Thai medicine, alongside herbal remedies, dietary advice, and spiritual practices. It was used to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being, as well as to address specific ailments and imbalances in the body. Today, traditional Thai massage is practiced worldwide and is recognized for its therapeutic benefits, including improved circulation, relaxation, stress relief, increased flexibility, and relief from musculoskeletal pain. It remains deeply rooted in Thai culture and continues to be passed down through both formal training programs and informal apprenticeships.
