The founder of Thai massage and medicine is said to have been Jīvaka Komarabhācca, who is said in the Pāli Buddhist canon to have been the Buddha's physician over 2,500 years ago. He is recorded in ancient documents as having extraordinary medical skills, his knowledge of herbal medicine, and for having treated important people of his day, including the Buddha himself.

​

In fact, the history of Thai massage is more complex than this legend of a single founder would suggest. Thai massage is a combination of influences from Indian and Southeast Asian traditions of medicine, and the art as it is practiced today is likely to be the product of a 19th-century synthesis of various healing traditions from all over the kingdom.
