What it's about
This specialised course teaches a traditional Thai massage (Nuad Boran) protocol for relieving menstrual cramps. In the Thai tradition, male and female traditional doctors have always cared for women, especially in childbirth and the postpartum period, and one branch of this medicine is the manual tendino-muscular work inherited by today's Thai masseurs.
Through line work, acupressure and stretches, participants learn how to stimulate blood circulation and release the tension specific to menstrual cramps. They learn to identify the lines that need work on the legs, abdominal massage of the uterus, work on the sacrum and acupressure for painful contractions. The programme includes morning yoga and self-massage, a discussion of difficulties during menstruation, a short general session on the key areas and in-depth study of acupressure points, lines and stretches.
The course is for students and professionals in manual therapies with good experience and muscular palpation, such as former Nuad Boran students, shiatsu practitioners, osteopaths and physiotherapists. It runs from 16 to 18 April 2027 at Nuad Sen, 12 rue Poggioli, 13006 Marseille with Roman Léonardi Vandevelde. The fee is €420, with a 50% deposit of €210.
