Traditional Thai medicine has been around for over 1000 years, in much the same way as is used today. His recent worldwide expansion has been very successful.
The story goes that the Traditional Thai Massage dates back to the time of Buddha, in more than 2500 years ago, specifically to its creator Khru (teacher) Jivaka Komaraphat or Po (father) Shivako as Thais affectionately call him.
Ancient books tell that Shivako was the personal physician Sakya Court, led by the father of Siddhartha (Buddha), King Suddhodana.
On the other hand, it is known that an important part of Chinese medicine is Tui Na massage, which is based on deep work under pressure and joint manipulation. Khru Shivako developed a technique merging many of the stretches and yoga asanas, while pressure exerted on the fingers, hands, elbows, knees and feet, complete with Chinese massage joint manipulation.
Nuad Boran, also known as Nuad Rak Sa, has two main branches:
- Nuad Raj Sam Nak or Rachasamnak, transmitted by codified knowledge from the traditional doctors of the court of the ancient Kingdoms of Siam, Ayutthaya and Sukkothai, consists of strict accupressure. This massage style was soft, delicate and precise. The therapist usually we only use his hands as a sign of respect for the Kings. In turn, working on only three positions: Lying on back (supine), Lying Side (lateral position), Sitting upright.
- Nuad Cha Loye Sak or Chaleeysak, literally «Pressure in honour of prisoners», generaly known as «common massage» consists of protocols of pressures, streching and ostéopathic mobilisations operated with practitioner’s thumbs, palms, elbows, knees or feet .This branch was mostly transmitted by oral tradition.
This aspect is essential, rather than given in a mechanical or forceful way. A compassive description of Thai Massage is the physical application of loving kindness.
Thai massage is a particularly unique form of massage as it is performed primarily on the floor and there is no massage oils used. The client will change into loose, comfortable clothing and like on a mat.
The client will be placed into a selection of yoga-inspired positions and deep pressures will be applied to the body as the major part of the massage process. The pressure can be static and also rhythmic. The practitioner will perform the massage principally with the hands and locked forearms. However, legs and feet can be used to fixate the limbs of the client. Clients commonly state that they feel rejuvenated, relaxed and energized after a Healthy Thai massage
