9. TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE Ms Carol J van der Berg Self-Development Trainer
Thai massage concentrates on 10 main energy lines in the body. Massaging these points makes it possible to treat certain diseases, or at least provide some relief. Disruptions in the flow of energy result in an insufficient supply of life energy which, in turn, can lead to sickness or pain. Working on the energy lines with Thai massage can break the blockages, stimulate the free flow of energy and help restore general well-being. In traditional Thai massage, emphasis is placed on stretching and applying pressure to energy points. In Western terms, Physiotherapy and Chiropraktic are nearer to Thai massage than the Swedish form, but neither of these techniques utilises the energy points and flow of the body to the same extent; Reflexology is closer to Thai massage in terms of theory and technique as it, too, works on energy points. This short introductory course will give a general overview to Traditional Thai Massage and students will gain sufficient knowledge and practice to be able to give a Thai massage: 1st Lesson: Feet and Legs 3rd Lesson: Neck and Back 2nd Lesson: Body Front and Arms 4th Lesson: Head and Face
Participants remain fully-clothed during Thai massage. Students are requested to wear loose clothing and to bring a folding mattress- and a friend!

We will certainly find that we are perhaps not quite as 'with it' as we think ....
