What it's about
This intensive course follows the therapeutic tradition of Wat Po temple in Bangkok and its Thai acupressure protocols for the lower body. Thai acupressure is described as Thailand's main manual therapy for tendons and muscles, practised by professionals in hospitals and specialised salons but still little known in the West. The complete training comprises 60 treatment protocols; this module is part of cycle 3 of the Nuad Sen curriculum.
Participants learn routines of therapeutic points in 30 traditional combinations for the most common tendino-muscular problems of the lower back, hips, knees, ankles and feet. The programme covers the basic pressure techniques, the location of the therapy lines and more than 100 acupressure points, Thai diagnostic principles and the application of the 30 treatment procedures. Work is done in pairs. Noam Tyroler's book "Acupression thaïe" serves as course material and can be bought at the course for €85.
The course is for students and professionals in manual therapies with good experience in muscular palpation, such as former Nuad Boran students, shiatsu practitioners, osteopaths and physiotherapists. It runs from 10 to 14 March 2027 at Nuad Sen, 12 rue Poggioli, 13006 Marseille with Roman Vandevelde. The fee is €720, with a 50% deposit of €360.
