"Known in [[Myanmar]] as Yoe Yar Nhake Nal Chin, meaning 'traditional massage', Burmese massage has its ancient origins from Thai, Chinese and Indian medicine. It includes the use of local natural ingredients such as [[Thanaka]] which helps to promote smooth skin and prevents sunburn."<ref>{{Cite web |last=adminsakthong |title=About Massage |url=https://thai-massage-tenerife.com/en/about-massage |access-date=2024-04-24 |website=Thai Massage Tenerife {{!}} Sak Thong Thai Massage & Therapy Center |language=en-gb |archive-date=24 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240424191237/https://thai-massage-tenerife.com/en/about-massage |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Burmese massage is a full body massage technique that starts from head to toes, drawing on [[acupuncture]], [[reflexology]] and kneading. Signature massage strokes include [[acupressure]] using the elbows, quick gentle knocking of acupressure points, and slow kneading of tight muscles. The massage aims to improve blood circulation and quality of sleep, while at the same time help to promote better skin quality.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Speer |first=Kevin P. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r_EI7b2bhIQC&dq=The+massage+aims+to+improve+blood+circulation+and+quality+of+sleep&pg=PA67 |title=Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation for Active Older Adults |date=2005 |publisher=Human Kinetics |isbn=978-0-7360-4031-0 |pages=67 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Casanelia |first1=Lisa |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xFZPQtontdUC&dq=The+massage+aims+to+improve+blood+circulation+and+quality+of+sleep&pg=PA176 |title=Foundations of Massage |last2=Stelfox |first2=David |date=2009-12-22 |publisher=Elsevier Health Sciences |isbn=978-0-7295-7869-1 |pages=176 |language=en}}</ref>
