Thai Herbal Compress for Face, Neck and Shoulders

8CE ONE DAY TABLE TRAINING The air in your treatment room fills with aromatic steam that soothes many of the upper respiratory ailments that are especially prevalent as the seasons change. This course is dedicated to USING the Thai Hot Herbal Compress on the table and offers a unique, upper body treatment for the major muscle groups and movement pathways. *Floor bodyworkers will find all table techniques translate easily to the mat. We use two different sizes of compresses for this class - two small facial compresses and two medium body compresses. At the end of this course you will be able to select and demonstrate basic compress handling techniques, identify all necessary equipment for performing a safe and effective session and define best practices for adding this new tool to your menu of services. This treatment works well as a luxurious add-on OR can be used in conjunction with the body compress techniques acquired in our Thai Hot Herbal Compress course. It can also be used as a stand-alone treatment. This is NOT a compress making class. We use pre-made compresses from Thailand that will be available for sale after class along with recommendations for other suppliers. Tuition includes all of the compresses and supplies you will need to complete the class, a compress to take home and a course manual. All levels welcome, beginner-friendly. Prerequisites : LMT
