northern thai massage

NUAD BO-RARN (ANCIENT THAI MASSAGE) is a unique form of body therapy that incorporates Hatha Yoga and acupressure to stretch the muscles and open the joints. This safe, holistic treatment harmonizes the body, increases energy, relieves stress and promotes a peaceful mind. This particular form of bodywork dates back over 2,500 years.


NORTHERN  and  SOUTHERN STYLE
There are two main styles of Thai massage; the Southern style (Wat Po, Bangkok) which uses heavy pressure and focuses on working key points. The Northern style as taught at ITM places more emphasis on Yoga-like stretching positions/interaction and reflects the gentleness of the Northern people and the slower pace of Northern Thai life style. The Northern style is also called “Yoga for Lazy People”. Instead of doing Yoga, they do it for you.
