In Thailand, Nuat Boran or Thai massage is one of the branches of Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM), now recognized and regulated by the government, and widely considered to be a medical discipline used for the treatment of a wide variety of ailments.

Nuad Borarn (Vedic Thai Massage-Assisted Yoga) is viewed as a martial art of healing and is reported to manifest instant positive results. In Thailand, Bodywork is utilized medicinally as a cherished and revered indulgence to remedy the prominent social ailments such as emotional stress and physical inertia. Thai-Yoga sessions inspire the soul and tranquilize the body.

Customarily, a Thai-Yoga session lasts between one and two hours, during which there is a surrendering release which allows deeper and deeper physical and mental ‘openings’. Flowing rhythmic compressions using the feet, knees, palms, elbows, forearms and fingers are blended with exotic stretching positions known as asanas and breathing techniques, effectively producing a balanced and harmonious symbiotic communication integrating the body’s vital systems, including mechanical- musculoskeletal, electrical-neural, and chemical-glandular.

The Thai Medical tradition is descended from Ayurveda. Sri Jivaka Kumar Baccha, the physician to the Buddha, is considered the father of Thai-Yoga Bodywork. His teachings, along with Buddhism, came from India to Thailand and have been handed down from master to student since, as well as among the common people as a folk art.

Vedic Thai Massage is traditionally performed on a large comfortable cotton futon floor mat which gives the receiver both comfort and full-body support. Working on the floor also allows the therapist to move freely around and above the client, making for effective use of the therapist's bodyweight and mechanics. The therapist can also work with the receiver in a variety of positions, including prone, supine, side-lying, and seated. In addition, Thai Massage can also be performed on a massage table, a technique now widely used in the West and popularly known as Table Thai

Wear loose-fitting or stretchy clothing that allows your body to move. No oils are needed. The techniques used work far beneath the surface of the body, affecting the deeper layers of the muscles and skeleton. Treatments are routinely modified to include sensitivities addressing acute and chronic conditions. Thai-Yoga Therapists don't just use the power of their hands and fingers; they use their hands, fingers, palms, arms, knees, and feet, along with the receiver’s body weight and resistance to provide a deeply moving experience. The Thai-Yoga Therapist enters into a meditative awareness adapting every asana stretch and technique to the client's exact need, whether soft or strong.
