The history of home-tie massage, healing at home

The lives of modern people are changing rapidly. As more and more people feel tired from busy schedules, long hours of work, and stress in the city, various healing methods are in the spotlight to relieve them. Among them, the service that has grown rapidly in recent years is Home Tie massage. This is gaining popularity in that customers can pursue both time saving and comfort by visiting their homes and giving massages to professional massage parlors without visiting massage parlors.

However, this new service never came out of nowhere. The birth and growth of the home tie massage are the result of evolutionary changes in modern society and the history of the thousands of years-old Thai massage. To understand the roots of the home tie massage, we first need to look at its origins.

The Roots of Thai Massage

Thai massage has a close relationship with Ayurveda, a traditional Indian medicine, about 2,500 years ago. One of the medical techniques passed down along with Buddhism, the person named "Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha" is known as the founder. He is also a person who appears in Buddhist scriptures, was a doctor of the Buddha, and is said to have created a unique healing technique that integrated Indian herbalism, anatomy, and yoga movements.

Later, this knowledge was passed down to Thailand and combined with Thai culture to form today's Thai massage. Thai massage is characterized by applying pressure, stretching joints, and using the entire body along the 'sen', which is called the body's energy line. It has become a whole-body therapy that goes beyond simple muscle relaxation and regulates energy flow and induces mental stability.

From Tradition to Modernity: A Change in Massage

For a long time, Thai massage has been handed down in temples as a form of monks or therapists. However, with the development of the tourism industry since the mid-20th century, it began to be introduced to foreigners and spread around the world. The Thai government established a Thai massage education institution to protect and promote this culture to the world, and successfully listed it as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2019.

Since then, Thai massage has been expanded to various fields such as modern spas, fitness centers, and hospitals, and one of them is 'home Thai massage'.

the beginning of a home tie massage

Although it is difficult to specify the exact starting point of the home tie massage, it has gradually appeared in many countries that have experienced urbanization since the mid-2000s. In particular, in large cities such as Korea, Japan, the United States, and Singapore, demand for business trip massages has arisen due to traffic jams, busy schedules, and privacy protection, and as this service has become more specialized and systematic, it has become the name of home tie service.

The full-scale spread of HomeTai massage is also closely related to the development of smartphones and mobile apps. With the advent of various home service platforms, users can easily call the massage parlor through the app, which maximizes the accessibility of HomeTai massage.

Home Thai Massage in Korea

In Korea, in the early 2010s, home tie massage began to appear mainly in Seoul. In the early days, it was limited to the form of a business trip to a massage shop, but as specialized home tie brands were gradually created, quality management, hygiene, and customer response methods were standardized. In particular, as external activities were limited due to the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, the demand for home tie services exploded.

Since then, the home tie massage continues to grow according to new lifestyles such as an aging society, an increase in single-person households, and working from home. Beyond simple convenience, it has established itself as a personalized well-being service and is attracting attention as a key element of the home healthcare trend along with home training and home nutrition management.

harmony of tradition and innovation

The home tie massage is more than just a massage service. It is a hybrid service that is based on thousands of years of tradition and tailored to today's technology and consumption patterns. The static healing method provided to practitioners in the temple in the past is now reproduced in the home, allowing customers to receive high-quality massages in a more comfortable and personalized environment.

Finish

The home tie massage is the result of a tradition that has evolved to fit the lives of modern people. This is not just a development of service, but an example of the rebirth of ancient wisdom as modern values according to the needs of the times. In the future, home tie massage will continue to develop as an option for people who want a healthy life, and it is expected to play an important role in the center of the well-being culture.
