History of Thai Foot Massage
Brief History: Thai massage originated in India during the Buddha’s lifetime, over 2500 ago. As Buddhism spread out from India the healing medicine spread with it.
Thai foot treatments were first recorded in the famous ‘Wat Po Temple’, in Bangkok (Thailand) about 2000 years ago. For centuries it has been practised by the Buddhist monks at the monasteries as part of Thai medicine. In fact, the traditional treatment is still taught by Buddhist monks in temples of Thailand.
