Thai Herbal Massage

For Course Dates, Venues & Prices - click here

Thai Herbal compresses are traditionally used as a part of Thai Massage. Ground fresh or dried herbs are wrapped in a muslin cloth, and then steamed to release the potent qualities of the herbs. These hot herbal compresses, known as prakhop, are then systematically pressed over the body.

Course Content - What you will learn

Theory

  • The traditional use of herbs in Thai Massage
  • How to make your own herbal compresses
  • The effect, cautions, and contraindications of specific herbs in massage
  • Sen (energy) Line Theory
  • How to use hot compresses safely

Practical

  • Thai herbal massage techniques and routine.
    NB - this course is taught on a couch to enable students to incorporate the techniques into existing working environments, the course is ideally studied in conjunction with the Thai Aroma Massage which will teach you a couch based Thai Oil Massage

Course Entry Requirements & Pre-requisites

No previous qualification is required. The course is taught in the traditional fashion and without the need for specific anatomical knowledge, however to practise professionally in the UK, as a member of a recognised governing body, it is also essential to have a recognised qualification in Anatomy & Physiology and Massage.

Course Duration

This is a one day course

Assessment

Assessment is ongoing throughout the day

The Examination Body

As there are no National Occupational Standards for Thai Foot Massage, the course is assessed internally to accepted National Standards of Assessment. The FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) recognise our qualifications, along with many other governing bodies.

Further Study

This treatment can be incorporated into a traditional Thai Massage and so Thai Massage Level I & II would be appropriate training. The course has also been designed so that it can be incorporated into other treatments as an add-on or stand alone treatment. If studied with the Thai Oil Massage course you will be able to devise your own signature Thai treatment.
