History of Thai massage
The founder of Thai massage, Shivago Komarpaj, began practising massage some 2,500 years ago from his role as a Buddhist physician.
According to many records, such as the Pali Buddhist scriptures, Shivago Komarpaj was an extraordinary man. He knew a great deal about herbal medicine and many other medical techniques.
Throughout the centuries, this form of massage has been further developed and complimented with new insights. We see influences from Southeast Asian, Indian and Chinese medicine. This has resulted in a rich and extremely effective way of massaging. Because of these rich influences, you also notice different techniques and emphases within Thai massage.
