Thai Massage was founded by Dr Shivago, a Buddhist thought to be the "father of medicine". It i believed monks were the practitioners and the temples were the centres of education and healing.
Thai Massage is an ancient and unique for of body therapy, incorporating deep stretching and rhythmic compression in a
"dance like" transmission of energy. It is performed on a mat on the floor with the client remaining fully clothed (except for the feet). The practitioner uses body weight rather than muscular force to exert pressure, creating a highly therapeutic effect.
The energy lines or "SEN" are reminiscent of the meridians of Chineses
Acupuncture. However, where the meridians follow the energy associated with specific organs, the SEN follow the form of the body. The SEN therefore may cross from one meridian to another.

This massage affects the entire body by increasing flexibility, releasing both deep and superficial tension, and helping the body's natural energy flow more freely. It has been known as "passive Yoga". The results is an opening of the body which leaves one feeling both relaxed and energised at the same time.
