Nuad Thai
Traditional Thai massage: discover authentic Nuad Thai in Paris
Traditional Thai massage, also known as Nuad Thai, is an ancient practice that originated over 2,500 years ago in Thailand. Inherited from Buddhist temple traditions, this unique massage combines influences from shiatsu, yoga, Ayurveda, and traditional Asian medicine. Passed down from generation to generation, it is now considered one of the most comprehensive massages for restoring balance and vitality.
Both invigorating and soothing, traditional Thai massage works on the entire body. Based on the stimulation of energy lines called Sen, it helps to release accumulated tension and restore the smooth flow of vital energy. The body regains flexibility and mobility, while the mind experiences a lasting feeling of lightness.
More than just a moment of relaxation, it offers a real break to reconnect with your body and release the pressure of everyday life.

Your traditional Thai massage session in Paris
Your traditional Thai massage session begins with essential foot reflexology to prepare your body and facilitate relaxation. This first step releases tension and gently initiates the energy work before beginning the deep massage.
You will then lie down on a traditional mattress, wearing comfortable pajamas. This clothed Thai massage is performed almost entirely without oil. Only a few areas that require it may be treated with a small amount of oil mixed with Tiger Balm to facilitate certain specific movements. This approach allows the practitioner to freely apply pressure and perform stretches while ensuring optimal comfort.
Traditional Thai massage uses specific techniques: pressure is applied with the palms, elbows, knees, or feet to large areas, and targeted points are stimulated with the thumbs to activate the "Sen" energy lines. The expert hands of our massage therapists perform precise movements to ensure your complete well-being .
The therapist then begins a series of gentle stretches, gradually releasing tension and restoring vitality to all your joints. Once each limb has been carefully stretched, a firm back massage helps release muscle knots one by one.
The session ends on a soothing note. The nape of the neck is gently massaged with a massage cream to release any remaining tension, followed by a scalp massage performed without any products.
You'll leave feeling deeply relaxed, with your body at ease and your mind at peace.
To prolong the benefits
Our Tips After Your Traditional Thai Massage
As with intense physical activity, it is recommended that you stay well hydrated after a traditional Thai massage. Drinking plenty of water after your session helps your body eliminate toxins released during the massage and promotes muscle recovery. If you experience any soreness, which can happen after stretching and deep pressure, you can take a mild pain reliever such as paracetamol.
To prolong the relaxing and revitalizing effects of traditional Thai massage, we also invite you to discover our Thai rituals. These comprehensive treatments combine various techniques inspired by traditional Thai medicine, offering an even more complete and lasting relaxation experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about traditional Thai massage
Is traditional Thai massage painful?
Traditional Thai massage can feel invigorating as it combines deep pressure and yoga-inspired stretches. However, the practitioner always adapts the intensity level to your comfort and sensitivity. When performed correctly, this massage provides a feeling of muscle relaxation and deep relaxation.
If you are unsure, please ask us for advice: we will recommend the best massage for your needs.
Do you have to undress for a traditional Thai massage?
No, traditional Thai massage is performed fully clothed. Comfortable pajamas are provided so that the practitioner can apply pressure and perform stretches freely, while ensuring your comfort during the session.
How long does a traditional Thai massage last?
A traditional Thai massage usually lasts between 1 and 2 hours. This allows time to work on the entire body, from head to toe, combining pressure, stretching, and stimulation of energy lines.
What are the benefits of traditional Thai massage?
Traditional Thai massage helps release muscle tension, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation. Through stretching and pressure applied to energy lines, it also helps rebalance the body and mind.
What is the difference between a traditional massage and an oil massage?
Traditional Thai massage is performed while fully clothed and almost entirely without oil. Depending on the client’s needs, the practitioner may use a very small amount of oil mixed with Tiger Balm on specific areas. The scalp, however, is always massaged without any product.
An oil massage is gentler and focuses more on fluid, relaxing movements applied directly to the skin.
How often can you get a traditional Thai massage?
The frequency depends on your needs. For wellness maintenance, one session per month may be sufficient. During periods of stress or significant muscle tension, some people appreciate receiving a traditional Thai massage more regularly.
