Thaisport is a combination of Thai-massage and other traditional techniques from the countries of the Far East with western elements taken from the manual therapy from Scandinavia. A fusion of west and east? Not really, as Pehr Henrik Ling, the founder of the “Swedish gymnastics” system, learned a lot from from the traditions of the medical treatments and from the Chinese health philosophy, during his stay in China for several years. They fascinated him because of their efficiency. Thaisport is one of the most intense massages. For that it is mostly dedicated to athletes.
