Module 33
I am thinking that sitting position on thai massage is always a part of the session because I saw it on my previous work if we had training I am always a model that's why my thought of thai massage is sitting position is always perform for full body session. After watching the video at least I have an idea it's all depends on client needs and capability. I am fortunate that my model was little flexible so I did movements on sitting position started with shoulder leaning and rocking, neck squeeze and stretching towards left and right side followed by pulling her back which she felt good. I am happy because i had no difficulty on the movements on this module.
Additional knowledge is great and I am comfortable of doing things which I know the reasons behind. Thanks Shama.

Personally I rarely use the sitting position in my sessions, but you have to know it. Sometimes it is just exactly what you need for a particular client - you never know. Better to have too many techniques available than not enough! 
Also some of the sitting positions require a little more skill and practice because it is a little harder to work on someone who is not comfortably lying down. Some of the worst Thai Massage sessions I have experienced was when the therapist tried to do sitting techniques but wasn't good at executing them, and as a result it all felt wobbly and unstable and uncomfortable. The main thing is to always provide good back support for the client.

Still sitting position and working to my sister , I did arm and back traction which good for me and her because she was not heavy and we both lady so there was no issues. However I still need to try male client to compare the difference if I feel comfortable or not, if not I will not do that techniques.
Then for the back stretched which my knees below on her shoulder I can't balance my body when I pulled her back but she felt great on that movement that's why I need to practice to balance my body. For her neck and trapezius was easy for me with the combination of learning and rolling using my forearm then followed by shoulder stretched using my elbow was a relaxing feeling after the session as per my sister. Thank Shama for the above feedback.

Offline This technique does require a good balance. The trick with it is to move the client forward enough so that when you pull back, you don't lose your balance and fall back yourself. That does take a little practice.

It's all about client communication regarding what client want to achieve after the session, what is the concern, what area client wants to focus on and the pressure she/he can handle. I already did that because it is a part of my work to ask client the above questions on the phone during taking an appointment or during check in in the spa so that I can assign client to a particular therapist, that consultation form will be endorse to therapist with client signature and during the session that is the time the therapist will ask client if they she/he is comfortable or not and other questions applicable on that situation.
For me I already applied that communication during my practiced to each and every model I had it was like normal and it's a part of the session to achieve model concern and to let her/him trust you as therapist to make her/hin relax and comfortable. Then I can apply your example on the video to each of my future model if she/he is wants to talk, or only listen or feel. Thanks Shama

Good that you are already doing the client communication, so that's nothing new to you.
Congratulations for completing the entire course! That's quite an achievement to stick with it for 3 and a half months. However you will still receive several more bonus modules.
