Thai Massage Level 2: 5 days (35hrs) -ADVANCED-

Teacher:  Catherine Gagnon

Prerequisites: having completed level 1 and being motivated to learn even more!

Price: $ 700 all inclusive (except the exam).

Goals :  This part will put the emphasis on the lateral decubitus and will deepen the work in TM. The therapist will still learn new techniques allowing him if he wishes to offer a treatment of more than 90 minutes.

For learning purposes, the student will still learn therapeutic gestures in the form of a routine  CORN  unlike many schools, we ask students not to stay in the routine and during the final exam our expectation is that the student will be able to process  without routine   on a guinea pig based on history and palpation.

Ideal treatment sequence for pregnant women, clients in pain who cannot lie on their back.

Thai massage training requires a lot of work learning the techniques of course but also the following elements:

  • massages  obligatory  to be completed (on another manual therapist) in order to receive his diploma

  • course book to fill out (personal research)

 

  • compulsory readings
