Advanced Thai Technique : Thai Your Hands

Course Title : Advanced Thai Technique: Thai Your Hands (prerequisite : one or more Thai Massage courses on the mat with any instructor)

Guest Instructor :  Jonathan Steinberg LMT

Continued Education Credits : 8 CE’s

Course Description : This course expounds upon the foundations of Thai Massage compressing, wedging, stretching and jostling techniques, utilizing practitioner’s lower body more than their hands.   Advanced Thai Massage techniques will be demonstrated and rehearsed in order for therapists to develop their own 60 to 90 minute multiplane Thai Massage floor treatment or for integrating Thai Massage techniques into table massage treatments.

About the Instructor : Jonathan became a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) in 2010 and a Master Massage Therapist (MMT) in 2017. He has been practicing across the country and the Caribbean throughout that time. In New York City, he trained in Swedish Massage, Tui Na (a technique derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine), Therapeutic/Rehabilitative, Pre/Post Natal, and Thai Massage. After completing his Thai Massage training in NYC, he moved to Thailand to continue his education with his teacher’s teacher! Jonathan has had the privilege of utilizing all these techniques in many different settings, such as Doctor’s offices, Physical Therapy & Neurology Clinics, spas and fitness centers, as well as working remotely offering chair massage at many corporate events and health fairs.

He has completed his 500 hour Advanced Yoga Training with Circle Yoga Shala in NW Arkansas. He is an Associate member of Ortho-Bionomy® & recently completed his training in Ashiatsu Massage.

Jonathan, or “J,” is excited to bring the East Coast Class and the New Jersey pride to Arkansas and Eastern Livity. He spent the first few decades of his life on the East Coast growing up and having many adventures, including going to school for acting, before he finally met his wife, Holland, and started the creative journey of a business and life down South. In 2022, he welcomed his beautiful daughter, Luna, to the world–making life that much sweeter!

Jonathan has a gift for helping people address their physical issues–whether they are due to injury, stress, neglect, or over-work. Clients can expect an open, laid back dialogue and atmosphere with the intent of achieving goals and leaving refreshed and relieved.
