Best Thai Foot Massage and Reflexology Courses in Chiang Mai

Thai Foot Massage is usually a combination of massage and reflexology techniques that aims at opening the Sib Sen Energy Lines and stimulating overall blood circulation and the flow of Vital Life Force Energy, the latter called Lom Pran in Thailand.

Mind that “Foot Massage” in Thailand is often extended to the calf muscles, upper legs, and finished with a head, neck and shoulder massage.

The “Foot Reflexology” part is often Chinese acupressure points based, then again, much in the Thai Healing Arts is a blend of Indian, Chinese, and local indigenous healing traditions, so don’t be surprised of “foreign” influences.

In Thailand, you will find a whole lot of Thai Massage schools and trainers that offer Thai Foot Massage & Reflexology courses in addition to their standard Thai Massage trainings. The courses are quite popular because they usually take just a few days of training, while being an effective relaxation and healing modality.

My personal experience is that many massage therapists either start with learning Thai Foot Massage as a low profile start to a Thai Massage therapist career or specialize in Foot Massage besides general full body Traditional Thai Massage.

Further below, you’ll find an overview and list of the best Foot Massage and Reflexology training classes in Chiang Mai. Note that there are more than sixty Thai Massage schools and trainers in the city that offer these trainings (with or without reflexology), thus to come to a list like this is not that easy.

We have taken into account the length of the studies, skipping the one or two days courses, considering that the longer the study is, most likely the better the training. Mind that some courses include reflexology acupressure training while others focus only on massage.

Note: naturally, the courses that don’t cover reflexology are shorter than those that include learning an extensive set of acupressure points. Thus, taking that into consideration, a 3-day Thai Foot Massage course (without reflexology) can be as good as a 5-day training that includes Reflexology.
