Thai Bodywork
a holistic therapy, restoring balance
Traditional Thai Massage, nuad boran, dates back some 2500 years to its founder, the doctor Jivaka Kumar Bhacca also known as Shiuago Komparaj, physician, friend and colleague of Buddha. It is a unique bodywork that unites the disciplines of Hatha Yoga, ayurvedic massage, reflexology, Chinese acupuncture and Japanese shiatsu.
Working on the energetic meridians, sen lines, the therapist uses her hands, feet and elbows to apply pressure on specific points in combination with light stretches and yoga asanas.
A traditional massage lasts between 1 and a half to 3 hours, takes place on a cushioned floor-mat and the recipient wears loose cotton garments. Thai massage has a range of beneficial effects that are experienced when practiced on a regular basis: it enhances awareness as well as relaxation, stimulates the body’s natural healing process, releases blockages in the energy flow system, relieves pain and muscle tension, revitalises the nervous system, increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, strengthens and rejuvenates the body and increases flexibility, stimulates organ function, improves circulation and the process of elimination, provides a general feeling of well-being and balance.
