The best Thai traditional massage practitioners are regularly those who have learnt their craft intuitively. Even though their skills might have been enhanced by formal study, the most effective are often those who served an apprenticeship, in and around their local villages and temples, learning the correct ways to apply techniques for stretching the body; providing a vigorous massage style targeting effective pressure points; applying deep tissue massage using acupressure point techniques, which untie those deep knots and stimulate the blood flow.

Thai Traditional Massage can also be very effective with relieving pain around the neck and shoulders, as well as stimulating and improving blood flow around the feet and body, in general.
