Thai yoga massage is the most western term for traditional Thai massage (TTM), a massage technique from Thailand called Nuad Phaen Boran 'ancient healing touch'. It has its origins in India and was brought to Thailand from there more than two thousand years ago as part of spiritual Buddhist practice. Method: The massage is based on its own meridian system and on the four elements of earth, water, fire and air. The ten main energy lines (Sip Sen) are usually stimulated in a combination of gentle pressure massage and stretching. The client is assisted by touch and movement of the therapist through the contact to his own body to go into a state of relaxation and recovery.
