 Anatomy and Physiology for Thai Massage and Yoga -- Level 1
Feb 12-14
($450, 20 Hours/17 CE Hours)
This popular course teaches anatomy and physiology in a way that is interesting, practical and relevant to the practice of Thai massage and yoga. Not just another dry anatomy class, this series provides direct experience of bones and muscles at rest, in movement, function, isolated stretching, osteopathic techniques for regulation of muscle function, interaction with energetic anatomy, pain referral and other topics of critical importance to yogis and bodyworkers.
The emphasis of the series is on practical work and palpation to increase retention and make the course more fun.
AP1 (or equivalent) is a prerequisite for our Certified Thai Bodywork Practitioner certification, and is also great preparation for the Clinical Thai Bodywork series. More...

 Table Thai Massage
Feb 15-16 ($395, 16 Hours/15 CE hours) This
2-day course covers a full 1-hour treatment for the table, and is
perfect for spa practitioners or those whose clientele is primarily
table-based. We cover the basic Thai techniques for the table,
body mechanics, draping issues, and possibilities for add-on or
integrated treatments such as Thai herbal compress. This course
satisfies the requirements for other courses in our program that have a
Level 1 prerequisite. Because the April class is part of our
teacher training program, students will have an amazing opportunity to
work with several of our Certified Thai Bodywork Instructors who teach
our program all over the country. Don't miss it! More... ----------------------------------------------------- | |
 Thai Herbal Compress (Luk Pra Kob) Certification
Feb 26-28, 2010
($475, 20 hours/17 CE hours)
Our Luk
Pra Kob Thai herbal compress certification training is coming up again
soon - we only teach this course twice a year. This is always one of
our students' favorite courses, with its moist heat, aromatherapy and pain relieving benefits
- hard not to like. If you have experienced this unique and wonderful
treatment you will understand why it is seeing strong interest from
spas and consumers. This treatment was featured in a cover article in
Massage Magazine last year.
Thai
herbal compress balls, consisting of therapeutic herbs including Thai
varieties of ginger, lemongrass, camphor, eucalyptus and
other ingredients wrapped in cotton muslin, are steamed and applied to
the Sen lines while warm. The strong aromatherapy and anti-inflammatory
properties of the treatment make it both highly therapeutic and
relaxing, and it is performed at the top Thai spas all over the world.
Any serious Thai bodyworker should be conversant in the herbal
compress treatment, as it is a core part of the traditional Thai
repertoire for pain. Time Out Chicago last year did a story on Chuck
performing this treatment and made it their Critic's Pick.
If you are interested in joining us for this training, get your deposit in,
as it will likely fill. Level 1 or other Thai training must be
completed prior to taking the LPK training. Your registration includes
all materials as well as herbal compresses to take home.
We
have our herbal compresses manufactured to our specifications
in
Thailand and import them on a regular basis. The balls are beautifully
handcrafted and larger (200 gm) than most, allowing them to retain
their potency through 3-5 sessions or more. We provide these and other
Thai herbal products for sale at the school and in our secure webstore.
