Thai massage

The luxury resort Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa is known as a temple of relaxation and wellbeing. Today we find out more about one of our specialities, the famous Thai massage.

Traditional Thai massage is the main basis for peace and harmony ideals. It is performed all around Thailand, and starts in the best traditional Thai massage school, the Wat Po Temple in Bangkok.

We have to go back to the birth and spread of Buddhism to know about its origin. Shivago Komarpaj, Buddha´s private doctor, is considered to be the first one to develop Thai massage technique.

Thai massage was created to both heal and relax. It was influenced by Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. In contrast to classic massage, Thai massages don´t use any creams or oils and it is much more than working on the body; it is based on the way our natural energy goes through our body.

Thai massage is based on the ten major life energy channels, which are known as Sen Sib. When these points are pressed down correctly, pain goes away.

It is a powerful practice when it comes to specific malaises such as a backache, shoulder pain and a headache.

For relaxation and Asian culture lovers, the luxury hotel in AlicanteAsia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa is the perfect destination, and particularly our Thai Spa. Relieve your body and mind from stress with our luxury rituals.
