The lineage of Thai-Massage dates back thousands of years from India and China. Buddhist monks practiced this form of healing and eventually brought it to Thailand. Today, in Bangkok at the Wat Poe museum, murals depict the Buddha, 2500 years ago, receiving a Thai- Massage from his friend and physician.

Traditionally, Thai-massage is done on a floor mat and the client remains clothed. However, Carmel Massage therapists have adapted Thai-Massage to the massage table and use massage lotion. Our clients remain partially clothed.

People who receive Thai-Massage frequently describe it as, “yoga done for you.” Carmel Massage therapists use rhythmic rocking combined with stretching and gentle compression on the joints, ligaments and muscles. After receiving Thai-Massage, our clients say they feel more flexible and energized.
