Tourists were given free "hammer massages" at a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand. <br /><br />The bizarre treatment sees therapists in traditional silk clothes whack people's backs with wooden hammer and chisel type tools. <br /><br />They believe that the ancient treatment helps to unlock trapped nerves and release the tension and knots from muscles. <br /><br />One visitor, George from London, who is seen in the video said he would ''definitely recommend the treatment''.<br /><br />He added: ''I feel much better afterwards. I didn't come on holiday expecting to be hit with a hammer but it really does get rid of the knots.''<br /><br />The free massage treatments were part of an event promoting traditional medicine therapies at the well-known Wat Po temple in the capital Bangkok on November 3.
