What it's about
Advanced Thai Massage: Stretches teaches specialised stretching techniques and alternative methods that complement the more usual Thai massage practice. The course explains the rationale behind each technique and how to apply it with more precision, broadening the practitioner's overall approach to treatment.
Participants learn additional techniques and stretches and practise using the feet, elbows and knees with precision adapted to their own body type. Techniques from Sunshine's beginner's courses are reinforced and consolidated, then adapted to different body types and health conditions. Attention goes to proper posture and to precise work along the body's energy lines. The course is often taken together with the Side Position course, which is scheduled the week before.
Everyone with a serious background in Thai massage is welcome. The course runs from 16 to 20 August 2027 (5 days, 30 hours) at Sunshine Massage School, 159/2 Kaeo Nawarat Road, Chiang Mai. It costs 8,500 baht. A deposit of 50 % of the course fee secures the place once it has been confirmed.
