Thai massage is one of the ancient healing arts of traditional Thai medicine, the others being herbal medicine and spiritual meditation. Traditional Thai massage has been practiced for at least 1000 years. Thai massage takes its roots from Tui Na Chinese massage and manipulation, Ayurvedic Indian massage and Shiatsu Japanese massage, which dates back over 4000 years. Indian yoga has a very obvious influence in Thai massage and this is apparent in the extremely disciplined manner in which the energy channels known as Sen are treated.
