Thai Bodywork Newsletter
HandsFree Thai Weekend, New Job Board and Forums
 October 2007
Thai massage trainings in Chicago at Thai Bodywork Greetings!

Thai Bodywork has some important NCBTMB-approved trainings coming up as well as some great new features on our website, including a Thai massage Job Board (part of our Discussion Forum). I invite you to read below and check the website for details.

Our program is designed to be accessible to anyone, with no prerequisites for the Level 1 training, a weekend intensive format that allows you to study at your own pace, and  sophisticated teaching that places strong emphasis on body mechanics, building clinical knowledge and working sustainably. Our students come from many walks of life, including professional massage therapists, yoga teachers, physical therapists, trainers, and many with no prior experience who are interested in a career change.

If you are a massage therapist, Thai can give new life to your hands and your career. Industry and consumer interest in Thai has been skyrocketing because of its unique qualities: it is done fully clothed on a mat or table, is therapeutic, relaxing and invigorating, increases flexibility and is an amazing treatment for chronic pain and peak performance.

If you're interested in observing an actual training, please let us know -- we allow a limited number of potential students to observe on Friday evening as a way of experiencing Thai Bodywork training in action.
HandsFree Thai Massage HandsFree Thai: New Weekend Format
This weekend, Oct. 19-21, is a fantastic opportunity to experience our unique HandsFree Thai Bodywork training ($425/20 hours/20 CEUs), which we have recently divided into Levels 1 and 2 (1 weekend each). If your hands are hurting, or you work on larger clients and athletes, there is no better therapeutic modality for both therapist and client.

HandsFree Thai, taught only at Thai Bodywork, can add years to your career. This has become one of our most popular courses, and there are still a couple of slots available -- please let us know asap if you are interested in attending. More information...
