Thai Massage Using the Feet

Why you should take this course:

As massage therapists, we often start by using our thumbs and hands to work on our clients. Over time, we progress to utilizing our elbows and knees. However, in many cases, we can preserve the longevity of our fingers by taking a step back and leveraging our feet and body weight instead.

What you will learn:

Discover the ancient art of Thai massage and unlock a new level of therapeutic care for your clients. In this specialized 4-day workshop, you’ll immerse yourself in the powerful techniques of using the feet to deliver a deeply balancing and rejuvenating massage experience.

Course Highlights:

• Integrate using the feet into a full-body Thai session
• Essential techniques (e.g. kneading, rocking, acupressure using the feet).
• Proper body mechanics, positioning and weight distribution to prevent injury.
• Principles of energy work and sen line stimulation.
• Customization and adapting techniques to address individual client needs.
• Client communication and strategies for adapting traditional Thai methods to ensure client comfort and safety.
