Thai massage offers such a variety of physical, mental and psychological advantages, because it combinesAcupressure, reflexology, and Hatha yoga asanas in their meetings. This is mainly due to the diversity of different cultures that have influenced this practice over the years.

Generally regarded as an invention of the personal physician of the Buddha, Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, more than 2500 years in India, Thai massage, finally migrated to Thailand and China, where it gradually evolved to assume many common Chinese medical practices.

During a session, the therapist uses hisHands, knees, feet, elbows, forearms and legs collapse on certain pressure points on the body (and certain muscle stretching), which are known to affect physical, mental and / or psychological changes.
