THAI MASSAGE CERTIFICATION
Level 1
TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE FOUNDATIONS
Bring the health benefits and stress release benefits of the ancient art of authentic Thai Bodywork home. Our school offers an in-person 25 hours + home study instruction program that incorporates various ancient healing styles such as Chiang Mai style, Bangkok style, Royal style and other traditional styles that are available throughout Thailand. Moreover, we teach numerous Thai Bodywork techniques including mild overuse symptom treatment, relaxation, acupressure points, and Siam yoga massage stretches.
Our primary focus is on training students to become professionals and open their own dynamic and safe bodyworks studios or work within relaxation bodyworks centers. Whenever students learn a technique in Thai bodywork training, the teacher will first perform it on them so that they get a “sense” feeling, which will help them to practice in the “right” way.
THAI BODYWORK BASIC TRAINING
We teach foundational stretches that almost anyone can do in the 3 primary positions, and our popular bonus component.
​
1. Back-lying (supine).
2. Stomach-lying (prone).
3. Sitting position.
4. Mindfully setting the space for a purposeful and memorable client session.
You will also discover the traditional acupressure points on the energy (“Sen”) lines and stretching. These techniques assist release of muscular tension, improve the blood circulation, boost the immune system, balance the energies of the body, increase the flexibility, mobility and prevention of common injuries. We provide you all the theoretical support needed (manual with graphics and note books are given in classes).
​
With this certificate, you will learn how to give a basic full body traditional floor Thai bodywork session lasting at least 60 minutes.
