A dry massage with comprehensive techniques to strengthen overall well-being. This massage is delivered using palms, knees, elbows and feet during therapeutic treatment. Through the use of passive stretching, acupressure and energy lines to work on different body positions, this traditional massage type effectively focuses on reducing tension, balancing the energy system in the human body and enhancing the flexibility of joints and musculoskeletal systems.
The Traditional Thai Massage Course is designed to equip you with both theoretical and practical skills, enabling you to work as a professional Thai Massage therapist. The course is approved by the Massage Association of Australia (MAA) and recognised by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT), of which Le Spa Massage Academy is a Platinum Training Provider. Once you have graduated with your Professional Certificate, you are eligible to join IICT and apply for professional membership and insurance cover to support your business.
The Course:
The training is based on giving students the best practical skills and a deep level of understanding in all the theoretical aspects. This improves confidence level, competency and experience for massage therapists, hence enhancing comfort level for clients during actual service delivery.
Classes:
Classes are limited to a small group (maximum of 12 students per course) to ensure every trainee receives focused training and individualised attention. LSMA uses professional Thai massage mattresses imported from Thailand to suit the origin of Thai massage.
