Table Thai Integrations 14CE Weekend Immersion

TRAINING

Our Table Thai CE courses are designed to build upon the principles of professional touch that are taught in massage school. Therefore, we require our students to have a license to practice massage therapy as a prerequisite to taking our Thai Massage courses. Having this prerequisite allows us to place a strong focus on technique application during our classes. Previous Thai Massage experience is not required to enjoy sharing all of the incredible new bodywork techniques you will learn in class. Current Thai Massage practitioners, join us to reinvigorate and inspire your current practice.

Table techniques are applied with the therapist keeping at least one foot on the floor at all times. Some techniques may require LMTs to sit on the table and have one or both knees on the table at the same time. Modifications that keep the feet on the floor are presented as available.

At the end of the weekend immersion training LMTs will receive a CE certificate of completion to verify board approved continuing education and satisfy massage licensure renewal requirements. Additionally, LMTs will have a unique sequence of techniques that can be used as a stand-alone treatment or integrated in with other techniques as indicated with each client.

A strong, sturdy and wide massage table is recommended for serious practitioners. LMTs are strongly advised to prepare to complete practice sessions immediately after each class. Post-class practice is considered the self-study component to each table CE course. 

Course Title : Table Thai Integrations 14CE This is the perfect course for any massage therapist who wants to take the Thai approach to their lubricant-based sessions without making a complete transition to the "clothes on" style of massage. At the end of this course you will be able to demonstrate a full-body selection of Thai Massage techniques that have been adapted for table bodyworkers including : sen line acupressure, stretching and joint mobilization techniques and an herbal liniment treatment for client supine and prone positions. The techniques you learn in this training can be used as a stand-alone treatment or integrated into your table sessions as desired. Tuition includes a manual with photos and use of Thai herbal oils and liniments in class. All levels welcome, beginner-friendly. Therapist positions used : standing with one foot or both feet on the floor, sitting on the edge of the table, sitting and kneeling on the table behind the client who is sitting on the edge of the table​.  Most of the techniques presented in this course do not require the therapist to climb completely on the table with the client.
