What Is Thai Massage?
Thai massage, also known as "nuad boran" or "yoga massage," is a 2,500-year-old healing system that combines acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. Unlike Western massage, Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor with the client fully clothed. No oils are used — instead, the therapist uses their hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet to apply pressure along the body's energy lines (called "sen") while guiding you through passive stretches.
Often called "lazy person's yoga," Thai massage creates the benefits of a full yoga session without any effort on your part. The therapist gently moves your body into various positions — stretching your muscles, opening your joints, and stimulating energy flow. The result is a unique combination of deep relaxation, increased flexibility, and renewed vitality. In Amersfoort, our certified Thai massage specialists bring this ancient practice directly to your home or hotel room.
