History

Thai Massage is one of the branches of Traditional Thai Medicine and in Thailand is widely considered to be a medical discipline used for the treatment of a wide variety of ailments.

Thai Massage is also practiced by a number of non-medical massage practitioners in the spa and tourism industries.

Since the 1990’s it has become a worldwide therapy and is quickly becoming one of the most popular treatments in Spas and massage clinics.

Thai Massage is an ancient and unique form of body therapy incorporating deep stretching and rhythmic compression in a ‘dance like’ transmission of energy. It affects the whole body by increasing flexibility, releasing both deep and superficial tension, and helping the body’s natural energy to flow more freely.

The experience of a Thai Massage leaves one feeling both relaxed and energised at the same time.

About Thai Body Massage

It has been known as passive yoga as the receiver can be put into yoga-like positions during a treatment. It is usually performed on the floor with the client wearing comfortable clothing that allows for movement.

The massage practitioner exerts pressure on the body’s energy lines with the palms of the hands, the thumbs, the elbows and even the feet.

This Thai Massage course is for therapists with a full body massage qualification and a Thai Massage qualification (Level 1 with Gateway or a qualification obtained elsewhere) One day insurable accredited course - maximum of 6 in a class keeping it small ensuring individual attention.

Certificate - Insurance - Brands

Why is our course so popular?

This is because the certification we give you allows a student to work with which ever particular brand they choose to purchase later and use with their clients.

Importantly as we teach effective and safe methods with products our tutors love to use but do not insist on the students who attend to have to continue with any one given brand afterwards to gain insurance and use what they have learned with us professionally.

This then allows students to make their own choice of brand and also means that they are not tied by any particular brand when it comes to their insurance, so should they ever have a problem and if a claim is made and they have changed brand, they would still be covered (please check this with your insurance provider) giving you a lot more flexibility.

This also means you are not tied into buying brands from us which is very restrictive which only makes the school you are buying them from money but does not benefit you. This means the certificate you gain with us gives you the freedom to use what ever brand you wish, the tutors can guide you to good products but ultimately it is your choice!

IF A COURSE IS FULLY BOOKED THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND 

Information on how to get on the waiting list in case anyone drops out

The best and the quickest way you will be able to attend if someone cancels is to book onto the next date available that you can make and when filling out your details, there is a note box section within the booking form. You can request here that you can be moved to the earlier date if there are any cancellations so you can be prioritised and contacted if we have anyone drop out.

This way you do not miss out on the next date and if we get an earlier cancellation the tutor can contact you straight away to offer to move you to an earlier date as sometimes people cancel due to illness or they have to work etc.

However if you cannot make any of the other dates showing as available please contact us as sometimes the tutor can put on an extra date if the demand is there.

---

Balance Payment

What is included in the course fee?

For our one day courses, practical tuition training materials- towels, blankets, creams/oils, massage tables/chairs are all provided on the day as well as a fully comprehensive manual. The booking fee (your deposit) is inclusive of VAT and no VAT to pay on the balance of the course fee.

Our certification is not brand specific. In some cases you insurance may be invalid if you train with a branded product detailed on your training certificate and you then change to another brand. However, providing non brand specific training allows us to offer our courses at a lower cost, allowing you to spend what is right for you on the necessary products rather than buying unnecessary and costly equipment.

The tutor will be happy to discuss products, prices and how much you can charge for the therapy on your training day. The tutor will also cover the insurance information for you too, we receive a discount with a large insurance company covering our training for those of you new to this field or wanting to change to a new and more affordable cover.
