Thai Massage 3-Day Immersion

Traditional 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.

Our Thai Massage 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.

Course Title : Thai Massage Therapeutics

All Thai massage techniques are taught on a cushioned mat on the floor, requiring participants to sit, kneel and move around on the floor to complete the class.  LMTs who wish to add mat-based Thai Massage to their menu of services are strongly advised to prepare to purchase a mat (if they don't have one already) and complete practice sessions immediately after each class. Post-class practice is considered the self-study component to each mat CE course.

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.
