About Our Practice & Philosophy

What makes "Ancient Thai Massage" different from other types of massage?
A: Ancient Thai Massage, or Nuad Boran, is a holistic healing art with over 2,500 years of history. Unlike Western massage that works primarily on muscles with oils on a table, our practice is performed on a mat on the floor. The therapist uses their hands, elbows, knees, and feet in a rhythmic, dance-like sequence to apply acupressure, assisted yoga-like stretches, and energy line work (Sen Sib). The goal is not just to relax muscles, but to release blockages, restore energy flow, and bring the entire body into balance—physically, energetically, and mentally.
