The Thai Massage Certificate Track starts with our three Signature Immersion Courses followed up with structured practice and professional development requirements that ensure you establish a strong connection to mat work and are able to confidently integrate it into your massage practice.
What's the difference between the signature Courses on the certificate track and the THAI MASSAGE ce workshops?
Our Thai Massage CE Workshops are a great way to learn techniques on the mat or table at a relaxed pace, earn CE credits and refresh or expand a current skillset.
The Thai Massage Certificate Track is a comprehensive learning pathway for serious LMTs who want to move beyond weekend CE workshops and immerse themselves in a deeper educational experience. Our three Signature Thai Massage Immersion Courses (which also provide CE credits) are designed as a progressive training program. LMTs may start with Mat Sequence A or B. Both Mat Sequence A & B must be completed before enrolling in Thai Massage Therapeutics.
The coursework within the Thai Massage Certificate Track is designed to prepare therapists to confidently deliver safe, effective and professional Thai Massage sessions while creating exceptional client experiences.
If you're ready to build a strong foundation for long-term success in Thai Massage, the Thai Massage Certificate Track can help you achieve that goal.
Step 1: Complete THAI Massage Mat Sequence A and thai massage mat sequence b
24 CE Credits Each | 3 Days
Your Thai Massage journey begins with the two foundational immersion courses: Thai Massage Mat Sequence A and Thai Massage Mat Sequence B. These courses may be completed in any order and together provide a comprehensive foundation in traditional Thai Massage techniques, treatment flow, practitioner body mechanics, and therapeutic applications.
Mat Sequence A starts client supine with detailed applications for the feet and lower body, followed by prone and seated position techniques for the arms, back, shoulders and head.
Mat Sequence B starts client in prone position with applications for the lower body and back and posterior arms followed by a series of seated position techniques before finishing in supine position.
During these courses, students learn:
Appropriate practitioner body mechanics for efficiency and longevity
Sen energy lines and acupressure applications
Passive stretching and joint mobilization techniques
Thai Massage theory, history, and philosophy
The Wai Khru ceremony and traditional Thai healing concepts
Integration of techniques into a cohesive treatment session
General principles for delivering a balanced, flowing Thai Massage with a meditative state of mind
Throughout the course, students receive extensive hands-on practice while developing the body mechanics and confidence needed to begin offering Thai Massage sessions professionally.
Step 2: Master Therapeutic Applications
THai massage therapeutics
24 CE Credits | 3 Days
This intermediate-level course builds upon the skills learned in both foundational sequences and focuses on refining practitioner body mechanics, improving treatment flow, and increasing therapeutic effectiveness through more advanced applications of Thai Massage. Students will expand their skills in full-body Thai Massage across supine, prone, side-lying, and seated positions, incorporating advanced transitions, deeper stretching techniques, and precise application of rhythmic compression and acupressure along the sen energy lines.
Students will also be introduced to traditional Thai therapeutic tools, including Tok Sen, Pha Khao Ma (Thai massage cloth), herbal compresses, and the use of herbal balms and liniments, to support treatment outcomes and broaden clinical application.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of both Thai Massage Mat Sequence A and Thai Massage Mat Sequence B.
This course helps therapists move beyond routine treatment sessions and develop a more customized, results-driven approach to client care.
