The Traditional Thai massage, the more than 2000 year old healing method is based on the concept of the energy channels in the human body. The technique consists of passive stretching positions, stretching movements, pressure point massages and mobilization of joints.

The positions performed are very similar to yoga, but are performed passively by the masseuse. The traditional Thai massage is therefore often referred to as Thai yoga massage in the West. The therapist applies gentle but specific pressure to certain parts of the body with her hands, knees, elbows and feet.

The massage eliminates disorders in the muscle tissue and increases the activity of the metabolism. In contrast to the western understanding of massage, Traditional Thai Massage contains more than just mechanical processing of the muscles, so it is also taken into account that the body has an energetic network with ten energy lines according to Ajurvedic teachings.

The meaning of the Thai name for TTM "Nuad Phaen Boran" is translated as "ancient touch healing" according to the effect.

• sleep disorder, restlessness at night
• mental and emotional distress
• indispostion, moderate feeling of illness
• muscular tension and stiffness
• headache and neck pain
• back pain (many problems of the spine are diminished by Thai-Massage)
• lack of energy, lethargy
• digestive problems, loss of appetite

we maintain our high hygiene standard: Desinfection of the massage tables, cleanliness and ventilation (and air filtering) of the rooms will continue to be carried out without obligation. Good to know: all our therapists are vacinated. They wear a mask (voluntarily).

A slipped disc, also known as a herniated disc, is usually caused by age-related wear and tear of the spine, but it can also occur after an injury. In many cases, the symptoms people feel — such as tension, stiffness or radiating discomfort — are not caused by the disc itself, but by surrounding muscle tension.

To assess whether a back neck and shoulder massage or a traditional Thai massage (yoga style) can be beneficial, keep the following recommendations in mind:

1. If you are receiving medical treatment, ask your doctor whether massage is appropriate and what precautions should be taken.
2. After an accident, always go to your doctor first to ensure your spine has not been seriously injured.
3. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience:
   • very severe, burning or pulling back pain
   • numbness or tingling in arms or hands
   • dizziness or coordination problems
   • reflex disorders
   • muscle weakness or signs of paralysis
   • loss of bladder or bowel control (emergency)

However, up to 80% of cases are not acute and can safely be treated by us.
Often the discomfort comes from tense muscles, protective posture or stress around the spine. In these situations, massage can help relieve tension and improve mobility. Please let us know which movements cause pain and in which region the discomfort occurs — this allows us to adapt the massage therapy individually.

Important: We can release muscle tension and provide pain relief, but we cannot cure a slipped disc itself. We can, however, offer very good supportive care with targeted back and neck massage techniques.

Visiting us 2–3 times at intervals of one week is often helpful. Many cases improve naturally over time, especially when supported by gentle massage, better posture and avoiding heavy lifting or awkward movements.

Our premises are as follows:
Zurich HB (Main Station) @ Sumatrastrasse 25: One room with three separate sections, each with blackout curtains.

Zurich Schaffhauserplatz (Rotbuchstrasse 8): Two rooms, each with two separate sections, each with blackout curtains.

The dividing curtains can be opened as needed.
