FAQ: Where did Thai massage originate? Thai massage actually originated in India. Some say it grew out of the ancient healing systems practiced in South India in the region now known as Kerala. Later, massage was incorporated into ancient Ayurveda medicine, practiced in the regions that are now Nepal at the time of the Enlightenment of the Buddha. The physician Chivaka Komarapatr, Buddha’s private doctor, is said to have successfully used massage and stretching techniques along with herbal remedies to treat ailments amongst the monks who traveled with the Buddha. Their travels spread Buddhism and these medicinal techniques all over Southeast Asia. He is now known as the founder and Father Doctor of Traditional Medicine in Thailand.
