Nuad Thai
Traditional Thai Massage: an ancestral art for your well-being
Traditional Thai massage, also known as Nuad Thai, is an ancestral practice renowned for its benefits to body and mind. Born over 2,500 years ago in the Buddhist temples of Thailand, it is inspired by shiatsu, ayurveda and yoga. Much more than a simple treatment, this massage, offered at our institutes in Paris, plunges you into a veritable sensory voyage, designed to revitalize the body and provide deep serenity.
Based on stimulation of the energy lines known as Sen, it helps to release tension and restore a fluid circulation of vital energy. Our Thai-trained practitioners combine stretching and deep pressure to restore flexibility, mobility and body harmony.
Treat yourself to a moment of escape with our traditional Thai massage in Paris. A regenerating experience awaits you, combining balance, letting go and absolute well-being.

About traditional Thai massage
To prolong the benefits
As after intense physical activity, we recommend you drink plenty of water after your session to help eliminate the toxins released. If you feel a little achy, don't hesitate to take a mild painkiller such as paracetamol.
To prolong the relaxing and soothing effects of your traditional Thai massage, we invite you to discover our Thai rituals. These combine a variety of techniques derived from traditional medicine for complete and lasting relaxation.
The Lotus ritualYour traditional Thai massage session in Paris
A whole program
Your traditional Thai massage session begins with an essential foot reflexology to prepare your body and facilitate relaxation. This step releases tension before the deep massage begins.
You'll then lie back on a traditional mattress, dressed in comfortable pyjamas to enjoy the full benefits of massage without direct skin contact.
Traditional Thai massage mobilizes specific techniques: pressure exerted with palms, elbows, knees or feet for large areas, and targeted points with thumbs to stimulate the "Sen" energy lines. The expert hands of our masseuses apply precise gestures for absolute well-being.
The practitioner then begins a series of gentle stretches, relieving tension and restoring vitality to your joints, from head to toe. Once each limb has been carefully stretched, a deep back massage loosens knots one by one. The session ends on a soothing note, with a scalp and face massage, leaving you in a state of total relaxation.
Contraindications and precautions
It's better to know
Traditional Thai massage is energetic and revitalizing, but not for everyone. It is not recommended for children or pregnant women. It should also be avoided in cases of cardiovascular disease, skin lesions or osteoporosis.
Apart from these specific contraindications, Thai massage can offer remarkable benefits to everyone, including the elderly, by improving flexibility and general well-being.
Remember: this toning massage, based on targeted pressure and stretching, can be too intense, depending on your sensitivity. If you're not yet a massage enthusiast, we advise you to consult a health professional if in doubt. For those seeking a gentler approach, our organic oil massage offers a more soothing experience while retaining the benefits of Thai massage.
