' Nuad Bo- Rarn' Also known as Thai Medical Massage and Yoga Massage, it has a long history of therapeutic healing in Thailand. It has been practised for centuries and is still practised today by all levels of society. The roots of Thai massage can be traced back to India. It is said that the founder of the practice was Jivaka Komarabhacca, a doctor, friend and contemporary of Buddha, around 2,500 years ago. Most of the ancient medical texts were destroyed in 1776, with the destruction of Ayutthia by the Burmese. What was left was literally carved in stone in 1832, when King Rama III, in hopes of preserving the tradition of massage, had stone inscriptions set into the walls of Wat Po temple in Bangkok. These may still be seen today. Please click on About Thai Massage for a longer description.
