THAI ON THE TABLE - FOUNDATION TRAINING (24 HOURS)

ADAPTING THE FOUNDATION TRAINING FOR THE MASSAGE TABLE / TREATMENT BED

Roughly the equivalent of the Level 1 – Essential and Foundation Training listed above, this course is especially relevant for skincare, bodywork and massage therapists who intend to practice Thai-style massage therapy on the bed/table.

On completion and after continued practice, participants will be able to perform up to an hour and a half of full body Thai Massage with the client on a massage table, in the supine and prone positions.

The workshop includes an integration day for supervised practice and coaching to ensure that each participant can go out and practice the “Table Sequence” with the use of the Guidebook, until a professional level of competency is gained (likely in relatively short order).

A Certificate of Completion is awarded with 24 contact hours of Continuing Education Credit through NCBTMB.

Further training on additional moves and techniques must take place in the traditional style on the floor due to client and practitioner safety considerations.
No pre-requisites.
