Phuket has some of the best trained massage therapists in the world. Thai government approved massage schools, with curriculum designed by health and massage experts, teach massage techniques and therapies that have been practiced since the time of the Buddha more than 2,500 years ago.
In phuket, Phuket Traditional Thai Massage school ( PTM ) is located in Phuket town and is operated by Arjarn Pinit Soysuwan and his partner, Dr. Pheangchit Lim In. Both studied and taught at Thai Traditional Medical Association in Bangkok for more than 20 years before opening their own school in Phuket.
In Thai culture, massage is a family tradition where most children are taught the fundamental concepts in Thai massage from an early age, explained Dr. Pinit. At the end of the day , when the family gathers after a long day”s work, they share a meal and give each other a relaxing massage.
Much of traditional Thai massage is based on the teachings of Cheewaka Ko-marrapat, an Indian healer who lived at the same time of the Buddha. Traditional Thai massage, which is a form of pressure applied by touch to specific energy points and energy lines on the body, is a combination of Thai and Indian healing therapies.
Traditional Thai Massage is the mot effective and comprehensive system to energize and strengthen the body. It promotes the flows of the energy in the energy lines and the flow of blood in the blood vessels and capillaries. Pressure of deep massage will relax and release the adhesion of the fascia and allow to flow freely.
