Discover the transformative power of Traditional Thai massage as you learn to perform it with confidence and skill. The Level 1 course covers supine and seated positions, learning to work energy lines (Sen), while mastering the art of applying pressure with precision using thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows, forearms, and even feet, all while working harmoniously with your client on floor mats.
Level 2: Intermediate course teaches sideline, and prone and expands on the seated techniques so by the end of both courses, you can have enough knowledge to conduct a 3-hour or longer massage if you choose!
Beyond the practical techniques which account for the majority of the course, immerse yourself in the theoretical and holistic aspects of Thai massage. Explore the sacred rituals of the “Wai Kru” ceremony, embrace a traditional Thai practitioner mantra, yogic exercises, and gain insight into the history and variations of Thai massage in Thailand. Plus, unlock the secrets to successful treatments, ethical guidelines, contraindications, and more.
Each student receives a detailed course book filled with theoretical insights, technique diagrams, and shorthand for easy reference. With personalized guidance from our expert instructor, you’ll have the support you need to succeed every step of the way.
At the end of each course, there is an evaluation requiring students to demonstrate their Thai Massage professionalism, time management, appropriate pressure, safe therapist posture and demonstrating a massage based on the techniques that you have learned. Don’t worry, the evaluation is open book and following the instructors’ guidance, you should have problems passing with a 70% or higher mark. Fall below 70%, you can rebook an examination time for an additional fee with the instructor. The evaluation is required to meet the basic standards set out by our affiliated Thai Massage school, ITM in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
For just $800+HST, receive your Canadian certificate upon successful completion of the course. Should you want to expand your learning horizons internationally add or with another ITM-certified instructor apply for the ITM International Certificate for an additional $150+HST and have your certificate recognized by any ITM-affiliated instructor globally.
