Practice
Traditional Thai massage does not use oil or lotions. Recipients remain dressed during treatment. There is constant body contact between the giver and the receiver, but instead of rubbing on the muscles, the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and swung.
Recipients wear comfortable loose clothing and are situated on a mattress or hard mattress on the floor. In Thailand, about a dozen subjects can receive massage simultaneously in one large room. The real ancient massage style requires massage solo only with the giver and receiver. The receiver will be positioned in various positions such as yoga during massage, which is also combined with deep static and rhythmic pressure.
Massage generally follows the prescribed line ("cents") in the body. The giver's feet and feet can be used to position the body or limb of the recipient. In another position, the hand fixes the body, while the foot performs the massage. A complete Thai massage session can last for two hours and includes rhythmic emphasis and full body stretching. This may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, cracked knuckles, walking on the receiver's back, and moving the body of the receiver to various positions. There is a standard procedure and a rhythm on the massage, which will be tailored to the receiver.

History
Founder of massage and Thai medicine is said to have Shivago Komarpaj (?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????? The Buddha's physician more than 2,500 years ago He was recorded in ancient documents for his outstanding medical skills, his knowledge of herbs, and for treating the important people on his time, including the Buddha himself.
In fact, the history of Thai massage is more complex than suggested by a single founder. Thai massage, like traditional Thai medicine (TTM) in general, is a combination of influences from Indian culture, China, Southeast Asia, and the tradition of medicine, and art as practiced today is probably the result of the 19th century. Sintese -century from various healing traditions of the whole kingdom. Even today, there are many variations from region to region throughout Thailand, and no universally accepted routine or theoretical framework among healers.
Training
Traditional massage practitioners are required to complete at least 800 hours of training.
Wat Pho, Thailand's therapeutic and massage center for centuries, opened Traditional Thai School and Massage Wat Pho Thai in 1955 at the temple grounds, the first school approved by the Thai Ministry of Education. Wat Pho offers four basic courses of Thai medicine: Thai massage, Thai midwife nurse, Thai pharmacy, and Thai medical practice.
Due to its popularity, Thai massage is also taught and practiced in other countries.
Effectiveness
All types of massage, including Thai massage, can help people relax, relieve muscle pain, and temporarily improve a person's mood. However, many therapists make claims far beyond what a massage can do. It seems to increase circulation, provide temporary relief of pain, provide a sense of well-being, and promote relaxation. Some doctors, however, deny its efficacy.
Massage and sex services
Massage is big business in Thailand. It is regulated by the Ministry of Public Health. Trade and Tourism and Sports Ministries has set a target of 20 billion baht a year to be generated by the spa business, but only 500 out of 2,000 spas are legally registered with the authorities. The legal distinction between "spa" and "massage parlor" is unclear. The Federation of Thai Spa Associations (FTSPA) in 2016 urged authorities to suppress the sexual services offered at some massage parlors. The FTSPA argues that influential figures have used legal loopholes to open "beautiful spas" or massage parlors where travelers can purchase sexual services.
