________________________
Traditional Thai Massage, or Nuad Bo-Rarn, is one of the world's oldest healing arts, originating in Thailand over 2,500 years ago. Often described as "assisted yoga," this dynamic form of bodywork combines rhythmic compression, acupressure, mindful movement, and assisted stretching to promote mobility, balance, and overall well-being. Northern-style Thai Massage, as taught in Chiang Mai, is known for its gentle rhythm, flowing transitions, and emphasis on yoga-like stretches and practitioner body mechanics.
This three-day course follows the traditional curriculum taught in Chiang Mai, Thailand, introducing students to the foundations of Nuad Bo-Rarn while integrating modern anatomical understanding and sustainable body mechanics. Whether you're an experienced massage therapist or completely new to Thai Massage, you'll learn to move with confidence, apply techniques efficiently, and use your entire body—not just your hands—to deliver effective treatment.
By the end of the course, students will have the skills and confidence to perform a complete 60–90 minute Traditional Thai Massage in the supine position, while developing a deeper appreciation for movement, presence, and therapeutic touch. This condensed format mirrors the first three days of ITM's Level I Foundation course, introducing the front-body sequence, assisted stretches, acupressure, and the foundational concepts of Sen energy lines.
