In this post, we give you an overview of Thai Massage training providers that offer courses and workshops in various locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Think of cities like San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Fremont, Santa Rosa, Santa Clara, Berkeley, and so on.
Thai Massage, also called Thai Yoga Massage, Thai Bodywork, or Nuad Thai, is an integral part of the cultural heritage of Thailand, and a healing modality within Thai Traditional Medicine.
It’s an ancient form of body and energy work based on passive Yoga, assisted stretches, and a broad range of massage techniques, including acupressure.
Thai Massage is used as a preventive as well as a curative massage treatment thought to support us in alleviating or curing physical, mental, and emotional blockages, but also pains, tensions, and various ailments.
Thai Massage training offerings can come in many forms: day or weekend training that cover specialized therapeutic topics, foundational training of several days, one or two weeks, retreats, and professional training that may span months or even years (typically spread over the weekends), and so on.
In the United States, Thai Massage is usually a massage modality studied as a Continuing Education topic, but it may also be part of a regular College Massage Therapist Training that gives rights to work as a legal Certified Massage Therapist in one or more US states.
Mind that the type of training you will receive often depends much on the style, education, background and lineage of the Thai Massage instructor. For instance, training may be more Southern Style Thai Massage or by contrast rather Thai Northern Style, it may incorporate many assisted Yoga stretches, or alternatively it may be rather based on acupressure, acupressure points, and working the Sip Sen Energy Lines, and so on.
In any case, below you find an overview of the Thai Massage training options we’ve spotted in the greater San Francisco area.
