2-Day Thai Foot & Hand Reflexology Diploma Course

Our 2-day Thai Foot and Hand Reflexology Diploma course involves an hour-long massage using a traditional stick and wraps, opening and closing rituals, the use of oils and a pedicure/pampering routine.  Knowledge of massage in Thailand has been handed down by word of mouth across the generations, from father to son, from mother to daughter and from teacher to pupil. It is still taught by Buddhist monks in the temples of Thailand. 

All parts of the lower legs, feet and hands are included and it involves hands-on stretching, massage, stimulating reflex points and follows the Thai energy lines (Sen).  It has elements of Shiatsu, Reflexology, Chinese massage and Yoga incorporated into the massage itself and is said to stimulate the activity of internal organs.  Thai foot massage is thus hugely beneficial for optimum internal health, and this type of drugless therapy creates a physiological change in the body by naturally restoring homeostasis.
