The Advanced Practitioner course consists of 10 lessons (70 training hours), and will cover all concepts necessary to perform Ancient Thai massage to the whole body and apply more than 100 techniques taught from the Northern Style Tradition of Ancient Thai Massage.

These techniques will allow you to perform a 1 ½ to 2 hour treatment with emphasis on creating personalized treatments for each client. This course teaches the history, origins and development of Traditional Thai Massage.

The foundation of Thai Massage will be taught with a lecture and demonstration. Classes will show clear demonstrations of the movements followed by supervised practice of the four basic positions: front, side, back and sitting. The class will show how to use your own proper body mechanics to perform a variety of relaxation and stretching techniques, giving time for discussion and questions. The supervised practice between students will be guided step-by-step through each series of movements. After completing the course, the student will be asked to practice several full body massages.

On completion of the course each student will have a good knowledge of how to give a full body Thai Massage and will be confident to perform treatments to Mandarin Oriental practitioner standards. It also will provide students with certified training that would enable them to practice Thai massage to the high standards of the original Art of Thai Massage.

Students should dress in loose, comfortable clothing. Room packages for Thai students are also available throughout the South Miami area.
