What it's about
Thai Massage Using the Feet is a four-day workshop with Sukha on giving Thai massage with the feet. Walking on the body is a very traditional method, and using the feet and body weight instead of thumbs and hands helps practitioners preserve their fingers, wrists, thumbs and knees over the long term.
The workshop combines traditional methods with an emphasis on safety and body mechanics. Participants learn one-foot and two-foot techniques such as kneading, rocking and acupressure with the feet, integrate them into a full-body session, including work in the side position, and learn to apply the right amount of pressure. Further topics are positioning and weight distribution to prevent injury, energy work and Sen line stimulation, adapting techniques to individual clients, and communicating with clients to keep them comfortable and safe.
The workshop is aimed at massage therapists. It runs from 18 to 21 January 2027 (4 days, 24 hours) at Sunshine Massage School, 159/2 Kaeo Nawarat Road, Chiang Mai. It costs 10,500 baht. A deposit of 50 % of the course fee secures the place once it has been confirmed.
