Thai Mat Massage
Thai mat massage is a traditional bodywork practice performed on a supportive floor mat rather than a table.
The practitioner uses hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet to apply rhythmic pressure, assisted stretching, and gentle joint mobilization.
Movements resemble a blend of massage, yoga, and acupressure, creating a flowing, meditative experience.

It is traditionally attributed to Jivaka Kumarabhacca, physician to the Buddha, and evolved as monks practiced and taught these techniques throughout Southeast Asia, particularly in Thai temples.
