Traditional Thai Massage is based on the concept of vital life force energy that flows along channels in the body called ‘Sen’ to specific energy points. Ten of them are very important in Traditional Thai Massage. In this sense, it is similar to Reflexology. Unlike other massage therapies, stretching is an important part of Traditional Thai Massage.

According to Thai Massage theory, the human body remains healthy when it maintains its balance of energy in relation to the energy of the universe. Any imbalance in the energies will result in sickness.
