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.
Testimonial
My first experience with Thai Massage was, simply put, transforming. I had been dealing with a few sports/exercise-related injuries, aches and pains for a number of years. While I was able to find a certain level of relief from other modalities (acupuncture, traditional massage, physical therapy), the pain in most of my areas was completely alleviated after only one session of Thai Massage! No one was more surprised at it's immediate effecicacy than I was...what a joy to experience such pain relief after trying so many different things. And the treatment itself feels wonderful!! I would recommend it to anyone.
