Module 31 covered shoulder work in side lying.  Again these techniques were enjoyed by clients, but hard to do gracefully. More practice is helping.

Module 32 was the last demonstrated in side lying. As time goes on I become more proficient in this position and the moves become easier to do.  The techniques in this module are simple and will be easy to incorporate once I master the other shoulder techniques.

Module 33 was the first in the sitting up position. I belive that this position is hard to do on people who are not yogis. The problem came with sitting up straight. I found that it is hard to bear downward pressure into the traps and support the clients body in an upright position when they do not do that naturally themselves.

Module 34 was also demontated in the sitting position. I may use these techniques as I become more experienced in Thai Massage.  The spinal extensions seem like they are advanced and should we done in very flexible clients.

Module 35 was the last in Thai Massage Complete and it was dedicated solely to communication.  Communication is very important to all massage and I have noticed that it is especially important in order to introduce the Thai Massage Techniques.  The clients are new to this kind of movement and some of them find it very weird, but they also find that it is very effective.  Good Communication has proven to be necessary to transition there understanding from what they are used to experiencing to experiencing these new techniques.

I am finally finished with all the course modules, forum posts, and my certification test. I am now beginning to practice full 90 minute massages and I am becoming more graceful in movement, relaxing, and effective in my work each time. The Thai Massage techniques have proven to greatly improve the long term effects of the table massages that I incorrperate them into, and I am greatly appreciatetive for this new learning and growing experience.  Thanks for your awesome course Shama, it has given me just what I needed in order to fulfill my long time desire of learning Thai Massage, and I could not have done it without your help!  

                                        God Bless

                                         Cynthia

P.S. Do I have all things in order to be mailed a certificate?

Yes, you got it all - congratulations! You will get your certificate within 24 hours.

You mentioned several times that you need more practice to master some techniques. Naturally you do, and there are 8 more hours of training coming your way to help you deepen your understanding and your skills of Thai Massage.

Thanks Shama, I will be continuing my study over time.  I think I learn a little bit more every day that I am working at it.  Soon I will be offering Thai massage as a service to my clients.  You have helped me to learn this great form of massage and I am truly grateful
