The founder of ITM, Chongkol Setthalorn, was the lead teacher at Shivaga Komarpaj Thai Massage School (formerly the Old Medicine Hospital School). He helped to design the Thai Massage instruction and routines that are the standard in Chiang Mai for Northern Style Thai Massage. Chiang Mai is the center for study for Northern style Thai massage which is characterized by gentle stretching, palm and thumb work on energy lines, and compressions to open, balance and relax the body. Southern style Thai massage is characterized by stronger pressing on the energy lines and less stretching. This style of massage is most commonly taught in the Bangkok area.
