Rediscovering Ancient Healing of Traditional Thai Massage
Traditional Thai Massage:
An Ancient Healing for Modern Wellness
Introduction
Traditional Thai massage, also known as "Nuad Bo'Rarn," is an ancient healing practice that dates back over 2,500 years.
Originating in Thailand, this unique form of bodywork combines aspects of Ayurveda, Yoga, and traditional Chinese medicine.
Unlike typical Western-style massages, Thai massage is more rigorous and focuses on the flow of energy throughout the body.
History and Origins
The roots of Thai massage can be traced back to the time of the Buddha.
It is believed to have been developed by Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, a physician to the Buddha and a renowned healer in the Ayurvedic tradition.
Over centuries, this practice evolved, integrating elements from neighboring countries and adapting to the unique culture of Thailand.

Besides stretching, muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure are also employed.

REAL REVIEWS FROM REAL PEOPLE

“I've been having shoulder pain and poor sleep because of it and just couldn't take it anymore. I've never had a Thai massage but knew I needed some stretching along with body work so figured why not try it.
I have great improvement in my shoulder mobility a day later and plan to get another session in later in the week to continue loosening up the area. The tea and treats at the end were a perk! Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING SIRI MASSAGE
We are eagerly looking forward to providing you with an exceptional massage experience for your booking session at Siri Thai Massage.
I’ve been coming to Siri for about 8 months, it’s always a great experience. Welcoming, friendly, and warm, excellent massages. Thank you!
The stretching is the best part! I really love everything about traditional thai massage except when the massage therapist stands on my back. I have scoliosis and get really nervous about my spine when they stand fully on my back. But standing on legs, arms, hands, etc. feels great!
Traditional Thai Massage
I've seen Goff 4-5 times over the past couple months and each experience I've left much better than I came.
Top notch thai massage! I've tried a few other thai massage places in sacramento and this one is the best in my humble opinion.
I had Kate and her technique was excellent. She found knots in my calves that no other masseuse has found. She was so in tune with her movements, with just the right pressure used. She even pulled out a hammer-like instrument to really get the tough knots out of my shoulders. I've never experienced that before but it was incredible.
I really appreciated the thoughtful touches included in the 90 minute massage, such as the hot foot soak in the beginning and the ginger tea, water, and snack at the end. She told me the snack is from Thailand :)
I can't wait to book my next massage here!
