Table Thai Weekend Immersion

This is a two day weekend immersion training for licensed massage therapists. All levels are welcome and it is beginner-friendly.

Thai Massage is experiencing a rapid growth in popularity for its benefits of relieving muscle tension, clearing restricted patterns of movement, stimulating energy flow and restoring balance. Students will learn a variety of useful Thai massage acupressure, joint mobilization and stretching techniques that have been adapted for the table and receive logistical sequencing tips for integrating them into a session.

Upon completion of this course LMTs will be able to demonstrate a selection of Thai massage techniques for the lower and upper body that have been adapted for table bodyworkers. Learners will observe technique demonstrations then give and receive techniques as guided by the instructor while refreshing their knowledge of tableside body mechanics using the Thai approach.

This event is being held at the Holiday Inn Express on Gulfport Beach. The hotel sits right across from the beach with views of the Gulf of Mexico from the guest rooms and conference center.

For out of town students : Room rate of $98 per night plus tax is available to Elevate Massage Training students who call ahead to book. 1-228-214-0010

Room reservations include breakfast. You can plan to have dinner on your own at one one the many restaurants in nearby downtown Gulfport or anywhere along the beautiful stretch of MS Gulf Coast Beach Blvd.

Water and coffee will be provided throughout the training day.
