There is archaeological evidence that massage points as far back as over 2000 years before Christ. Thai Massage did not come from a specific person or area. Several ancient civilizations, such as Greece, India, China, Egypt, Rome, Japan and even Mesopotamia have archaeological and written evidence that massage-like methods were used. At this time, it is believed that massage was used both for medical care, treatment of soldiers and for pleasure. A fun fact is that Thai massage is not actually believed to have originated in Thailand, but actually comes from India.
