How Did It Start?


The Ancient Traditional Thai Massage began around
2500 years ago
It was a unique bodywork incorporating Hatha Yoga,
acupressure, and reflexology
Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method that
involves applying pressure to certain meridian points on the
body to relieve pain. Acupuncture and Acupressure use the
same points, but acupuncture uses needles, while Acupressure
uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands.

Developed by people who used massage not only as a


therapeutic method of healing to treat illnesses, but to
maintain health and well-being.

Energy Lines
Massage therapist are taught to use the sen energy lines.
The invisible energy lines are perceived to circulate throughout
the body to maintain health and vitality.
72,000 lines.
Thais believe 10 main lines that are sufficient to treat the whole
body and its internal organs. - This is a non-religious or spiritual
perspective and practice. - When this energy flow is blocked or
restricted, it creates sickness or disease. To clear these
blockages, Thai massage combines the application of pressure
with manipulation, adjustment and muscle stretching in a fullbody works, which improves overall health and well-being.
Thai massage differs from traditional massage by its use of body's energy line system, known as Sen lines.
There is a basic theory that there are seventy-two thousand Sen lines that are also called energy lines that line
the frame of the physical body. The sen lines corresponds with the Chinese acupuncture medications and the
ancient medicine practice from Indian Ayurvedic.
