Thai Healing Massage Academy | Thai Massage Online Courses
Thai Massage is not the only healing modality in Thailand. There are quite a few unusual healers in this country.
Some spit red betel juice on afflicted areas, some use magical eggs, others prepare herbal mixtures, and some prescribe amulets and other objects that are supposed to be infused with healing power.
In this second video in the Thai Massage Love Affair series, we are focusing on another element that makes Thai Massage unique and sets it apart from most other massage systems: Therapeutic movement.
Actually ‘massage’ is not really the perfect description because it is a therapeutic healing modality that includes elements from massage, yoga, energy work, and acupressure.

In Swedish massage, the client is naked but covered with a sheet. There is not much physical contact aside from the hands of the therapist. In Thai Massage, the client is fully dressed, but there is more physical contact between the therapist and the client.
Thai Massage became famous mostly because of the many yoga-like stretches that are part of the system. These are indeed quite unique, effective, and helpful.
What is less known, but equally important, is that Thai Massage can be done without stretching as well.

How can Thai Massage save a therapist’s career? That’s what you will hear about in this video. In it, I tell my own story of how I injured my thumbs when I started out learning Thai Massage over two decades ago.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise since it resulted in my creating a lot of innovative and unique bodywork, and a more therapist-friendly way of using it.
If you go to Thailand, you will find that Thai Massage is mostly done and taught on a floor mat. Why is that?
Thai Massage is a therapeutic system dating back hundreds of years. It was designed to help people with their aches and pains.
Fancy environments, decorations, or expensive equipment like tables were not considered necessary or useful, and, as you will see, not even practical.
