Suriyo Thai Massage

The Story Behind Suriyo

The name Suriyo comes from the Thai word for sun. It reflects everything this studio stands for: warmth, energy, and the kind of care that radiates through every session. Our therapists are trained in techniques passed down through generations of Thai healing, combining rhythmic pressure, assisted stretching, and natural oils to help your body recover and restore.

We keep the space calm, the treatments personal, and the focus on you. Whether you come in for deep tissue relief, a gentle Swedish session, or the full Thai experience with hot stones and cupping, every visit is shaped around what your body needs that day. No generic routines, no shortcuts. Just skilled hands, genuine care, and the time to do the work properly.

What is today called “Thai massage” or “Thai yoga massage” is an ancient healing system combining acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. The founder of Thai massage was an Ayurvedic doctor named ชีวก โกมารภัจจ์ Jivaka Kumar Bhacca, who is revered still in Thailand as the “father of medicine”. Born in India during the time of the Buddha, he is noted in ancient documents for his extraordinary medical skills, his knowledge of herbal medicine, and for having treated important people of his day, including the Buddha himself. The Father of Thai massage is believed to be the personal doctor of Buddha. The massage was originally practiced in the temples with the aim of relieving the soreness the Buddhist monks felt after hours of meditation and contemplation.

Having developed in such a spiritual atmosphere has given Buddhist philosophy and meditation a very special role in Thai massage. An example of this is that a Thai massage therapist recites a prayer to Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha every morning, pleading his help and protection during the workday. Apart from the Indian culture, Thai massage has also been influenced by Traditional Chinese Medicine, as can be observed for instance in its concept of energy lines in the human body.
