Why study Thai Massage? – Your clients will love the experience, no messing around getting undressed, no sticky oils, just walk in wearing something comfy, lie down and relax, they will leave feeling rebalanced, refreshed, rejuvenated, energised, and often a little taller. Learning to use your bodyweight to apply pressure will not only allow you to apply pressure in a way which your clients are more able to relax in to, but will also protect your hands and wrists from the pressure that usually goes along with strong treatments. You will learn to use your feet and knees to apply broader pressure, allowing you to work deeply with less strain on your body, and less post massage soreness for your clients. This treatment is likely to change how you approach all of your treatments, enhancing all aspects of your practice as well as adding a valuable new skill to your treatment range.
Courses will run with small groups, no more than 8 on a course. If you prefer private tuition (1 or 2 learners) this can be arranged Please contact us for pricing.
What to expect on the course – The course will run over 8 days, focusing mainly on practical work. Thai Massage is a very physical, floor based treatment, be prepared to be sitting and working on the floor and for the course to be physically demanding. You will learn a routine in this time which will give you a framework which can be adapted to your treatment style and to meet your clients individual needs. You will learn a range of techniques, assisted stretches and adaptations which will allow you to safely provide a deep, rebalancing, energising treatment while protecting your joints from the strain of providing a deep treatment.
Day 7 & 8 will include 2 practical assessments, ensuring that you are able to safely provide treatments and have assimilated the knowledge from the course
Following the 8 days of practical tuition, you will have 6 months to complete 4 cases studies (4 clients receiving a minimum of 6 treatments each.) Once your case studies have been submitted and assessed you will receive your certificate.
