History
Established in 2013.
The founder of Thai massage and medicine is said to have been Shivago Komarp, who is said in the Pāli Buddhist Canon to have been the Buddha's physician over 2,500 years ago. In fact, the history of Thai massage is more complex than this legend of a single founder would suggest. Thai massage, like TTM more generally, is a combination of influences from Indian, Chinese, Southeast Asian cultural spheres and traditions of medicine. The art as it is practiced today is likely to be the product of a 19th century synthesis of various healing traditions from all over the kingdom. Even today, there is considerable variation from region to region across Thailand, and no single routine or theoretical framework that is universally accepted among healers.
Meet the Business Owner: Arnond S.
My studies and practice of massage has been a life long process that began as a young child in Thailand. First introduced to Thai Massage from my mother and practicing under the guidance of other locally celebrated Masters enabled me to cultivate my skills and technique at an early age. Later as a practicing Buddhist monk, I learned other unique massage techniques. Building on this foundation, I continued with extensive formal studies in schools of massage therapy in Thailand and in the United States. In addition to Thai Massage, these formal studies included; Musculoskeletal Technique, Reflexology Oriental Foot Massage, Russian Clinical Massage, Advanced Swedish Massage Technique, Sports Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Focused Deep Tissue Massage, Hot Stone Massage and Myofascial Release, along with various Spa Treatments including Seaweed and Mud Wraps, Salt Scrubs, and Dry Brushing.
