Thai massage is based on Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medical tradition. The basis is that the entire body is connected and the approach is different from western medicine where you study one part of the body at a time. Thai massage is based on very old wisdom and the purpose is to improve health and give new energy to the body. The experience reminds me a little bit about a yoga class, but you don´t need to strain yourself. There is a saying that it is "yoga for the lazy". The masseur uses hands, fingers, forearms and other body parts in different ways to massage your body. She stretches your entire body or certain body parts that you have selected. The massage can relieve tension and increase blood circulation in the body. Therefore, it is quite common that you feel refreshed and full of new energy when the massage is complete.
