All over the world more and more spas are adding traditional Thai Massage to their offerings. This is due to an increased demand by spa clients for this quite unique style of massage. Clients find that Thai Massage can be more intense and energizing than traditional massage techniques due to it’s many yoga-like stretches.

 

Thai Massage is also known as Thai Yoga Massage since its roots are in the yoga system of India. This is quite obvious when therapist use their hands, legs, feet, and knees to gently move the client into an extensive array of stretches similar to those found in Yoga. That’s why Thai Massage is sometimes called “Applied Yoga”.

 

 

During a Thai Massage session, aside from the yoga-related stretching, clients may also experience joint mobilization, muscle compression and acupressure. Many spa clients report that they appreciate the results they get from Thai Massage, and this has created an increase in demand for Thai Massage therapists worldwide.

 

Shama Kern, founder and director of Thai Healing Massage Academy, tells us that he gets regular requests for genuine Thai Massage therapists from spas in many countries. 

 

This demand has also translated into an increase in the business of Thai Massage training, both live and via online resources. Although live training courses are the first choice of most students, its high cost places it out of the reach of many would-be Thai Massage therapists, especially those from less affluent countries.

 

Although there have been instructional DVDs available for many years, real structured online training had been lacking. Thailand based Thai Healing Massage Academy has filled this gap and has become the industry’s foremost provider for training through affordable online videos and lessons.

 

The school has been able to maintain a “personal touch”, even though it is Internet based. Students are able to communicate with each other through an interactive forum, and in the same way they can easily stay in touch with their instructor.

 

Kern says: “The benefits of this interactive online training are significant for the students. Although their training is home study, students can get all their questions answered by a qualified teacher which is not possible with Thai Massage DVDs. Our students can proceed at their own pace and convenience, with a steady but gradual learning experience.”

 

Thai Healing Massage Academy reports that they are the only Thai Massage school in the world that specializes exclusively in online video training for home study, at a cost which can be a small fraction of live training course prices. Standard Thai Massage training is only the beginning, as they have expanded their programs over the years to include highly specialized therapeutic training courses. The school also offers certification programs and CEUs (continuing education hours).

 

Kern reports that the Academy is training students wordwide and also refers them to interested spas. He says that course graduates have become successful spa therapists and even spa instructors for Thai Massage.

 

The popularity of Thai Healing Massage Academy’s training programs is reflected in the hundreds of positive student testimonials which the school has on file. This is what massage therapist Lynney Grieves had to say about her learning experience: “It has been an amazing three and a half months with the Thai Massage course. A great way to learn, great course, I have recommended it to my therapist friends. Incredibly reasonable prices for the courses, great delivery method, fantastic connection with you. Very generous support and feedback from you all the way.”
