Course Descriptions
Supervised education

Thai massage is different from other forms of massage, there is no oil applied, the practitioner uses a comfortable floor mat (as opposed to a table), and the client remains comfortably clothed throughout the massage. Which helps to open this modality and service to many new clients.
Thai massage blends point pressure, and stretching, benefiting those who find themselves stiff, sore, and tired from over-exertion in work or sports, or from arthritis or other debilitating diseases. Thai massage enhances strength and flexibility, relaxes sore or tense muscles, and can help to recapture lost range of motion. By encouraging lymphatic function, this traditional massage can also detoxify the body, heighten the immune system, and prevent disease or injury by promoting flexibility.
The anatomy and physiology is inter-grated into the massage program so we cannot except credit transfers from other courses.
