Thai Somatic Stretch
10am-3.30pm
Thai Somatic Stretch delivers traditional Thai massage using assisted stretches with palming techniques. Not only does the client experience a balance of their energy (sen) lines but it also leaves them feeling total relaxed and peaceful.
Similar to the meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine that carry the Qi or Chi energy, the Thai Medicine 'energy lines' known as Sen run though out the entire body with specific points ending at the feet and hands. The obstruction of this flow of energy is thought to be the cause of discomfort or illness in a person, and the techniques of Thai Massage are thought to stimulate and open these channels. During a typical Thai Somatic Stretch session a practitioner will apply use a variety of hands-on techniques including graceful two handed palm movements, stretches, circular massage movements and thumb pressure along the sen lines stretching the body at the same time. Clients leave the session feeling relaxed, balanced and invigorated.
This one day course is suitable for Massage Therapists who have already completed and achieved a recognised Full Body Massage and Anatomy & Physiology qualification. You will receive comprehensive guidance notes and information to take home with you, as well as continued support from our tutors following your successfully passing your practical assessment at the end of the workshop.
