the floor.  This course adapts unique Thai techniques to the modern massage
chair for a unique massage that relieves stress and tension in the client while
protecting the therapists from overusing their hands.  

This course will include the fundamentals of Thai techniques as it may be
applied to chair massage.  Learn to make your chair massage sessions more
effective and less tiring through the improved body mechanics and the use of
Thai Massage.

Thai Medical practice.

prevents injuries, it improves the quality of your massage.  Superior body
mechanics allow you to deliver optimum pressure with less effort, creating better
results for your client.

prevent injury and be more at ease in your work.  This class offers experiential
as well as cognitive information about the simple and easy steps you can take to
make your work more enjoyable.  

You will learn and practice exercises to perform prior to massage sessions and
between clients to make your body more fluid, flexible and comfortable through-
out your work day.  You will learn a yoga based joint-freeing routine that will

clients. Learn to assess a client’s symptoms, when to refer to other practitioners,
and to select appropriate techniques to help alleviate symptoms.
