THE BENEFITS
Puy Conwy
Thai Medical Massage Therapist
Hello. My name is Puy Conway and I am a qualified Traditional Thai Medical Massage Therapist. Thai medical massage, sometimes referred to as Thai Yoga Massage, is an old form of Traditional Indian massage. With its origins dating back 2500 years, this high specialised massage technique has been used across the world for centuries. In Thai the traditional name for Thai massage is ‘Nuad Bo-ran’. ‘Nuad’ means massage, and ‘Bo-ran’ means ancient.
Unlike other types of massage therapy, Thai Medical Massage uses very specific touch points to manipulate healing throughout the body. Not only do we use our hands to deliver healing but we also stretch the body and sometimes use our elbows, knees and feet to encourage the body to respond to the healing energy.
Thai Medical Massage can be used to target so many conditions, improving a client’s life and overall physical and mental wellbeing. Some of the most common treatments are used to focus on stress, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypertension and type 2 diabetes. It helps reduce and relieve pain. It improves flexibility, range of motion, posture, physical strength and energy levels. It helps maintain a heathy body, mind and boosts the body’s immune system.
For me, the most important aspect of my work is clients healing. Even though sessions are typically an hour long, I often spend more time ensuring my client benefits fully from each treatment.

Benefits of Thai Medical Massage
Thai medical massage combines three essential techniques: compression, acupressure and passive stretching. These techniques are used in combination to stimulate the body’s energetic pathways known as ‘Sen Sib’.
It is often suggested that Thai Medical Massage is like simultaneously booking an appointment with a Massage Therapist, Chiropractor, Acupuncture and Yoga Teacher. Thai Medical Massage shares so many similar benefits. Over the years there have been many scientific studies exploring the tangible benefits of Thai Medical Massage. The general medical consensus is that Thai Massage has the following benefits:
Reduction in Stress, Anxiety & Depression.
Stress, while not necessarily always bad, if sustained can wears out the body and mind. Long-term stress makes people prone to anxiety disorders such as depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.
A 2015 medical study explored the relationship between Thai Medical Massage therapy and stress. It was proved that traditional Thai Massage reduces the release of the stress hormone cortisol while increasing parasympathetic activity, beneficial for the resting system of your body.
It was also found that Thai Medical Massage increases the release of serotonin, the happy hormone, which decreases stress perception and anxiety, improving mood and depression. If you have been feeling stressed, anxious or depressed lately and are keen to explore a non- pharmacological remedy, Thai Medical Massage is your answer.
Improves Energy Levels & Physical Strength
One of the key benefit of Thai Medical Massage is that it improves energy levels and physical strength in patients. Thai Massage is centred around the theory of energy lines or ‘Sen’. When energy lines are blocked this leads to muscle stiffness which can cause pain, swelling and even illness. Thai massage incorporates techniques that open and constricts ‘Sen Sib’ improving physical strength, energy flow and overall energy levels.
Reduces Pain Sensation
There are multiple therapies believed to relieve pain. One of those is traditional Thai Medical Massage which has been proven to alleviate short-term pain and disability in practitioners with chronic non-specific back pain. In Thai Massage the gradual and gentle pressure exerted on your skin and muscles stimulate and improves blood circulation.
Efficient blood circulation ensures proper oxygenation of the body’s tissues and excretion of toxins. Thai massage activates your pressure receptors, inhibiting the transmission of pain perception to the spinal cord, thereby reducing pain. A study in 2017 showed how clients that received two 45-minute Thai Medical Massage sessions showed massive reductions in pain.
Improves Range of Motion, Flexibility & Posture
The gradual stretching and gentle pressure on muscles and soft tissues delivered through Thai Medical Massage facilitates the movement of blood and synovial fluid. This reduces muscle tension and stiffness, improving flexibility, posture and an individuals range of motion.
Helps In Managing Illness
A 2021 study revealed that the regular practice of traditional Thai Medical Massage contributes to health maintenance and improves the body’s immune system, especially in the elderly. Thai Massage helps you avoid preventable infectious diseases and improve your general health and well-being.

Puy’s Journey & Practice
Through my extensive career in the ancient art of Thai Medical Massage, I have worked with a wide array of patients including men, women and children. In my native country of Thailand massage is a family practice which is used to help all genders and ages.
Children are taught from a young age to honour and care for their bodies, in the same way that adults care for their bodies. In my practice, I treat all of my clients with the same respect, care and compassion that I treat my own family. I developed a passion for healing many years ago when I discovered the many injuries that women and children incur during pregnancy and labour, as well as how children and young adults benefit from Thai Medial Massage.
My practice offers massage for children who need to relax and heal from the stress they face. Often children require specific abdominal work to help move retention in the bowl areas and relieve stress which is often held in their tummies. As a mother of three active boys myself, I understand how important massage is in helping our children being a healthy self-care routine.
Thai Medical Massage is not just about deep tissue healing but can also be incredibly gentle and suitable for expectant mothers and babies. I also incorporate the use of hot stones to alleviate stress and tension in many key pain points of the body. I also use suction cups to enhance the healing process and encourage natural healing in the body.
