Supine Thai Massage
$210.00
This course begins with an introduction to the history and lineage of Thai Massage, and an exploration of its fundamental principles such as Sen Theory, Royal Technique + Village Technique — all of which offer a foundation for the practice and application of Thai Massage techniques.The instructor will then demonstrate the fundamental techniques of Thai massage (compressions, wedges, stretches, and jostles) in supine.

*** this course counts towards your required 4 Ethics CEUs for NY State Licensed Massage Therapists ***
Course Date: Thursday July 23, 2026
Time: 10:00am-2:00pm
CEUs: 4 NY State
Price: $100Draping is more than just the minimum legal speed limit on the highway of massage therapy. In practice, a single drafty tuck can instantly derail relaxation and compromise client safety. Your draping isn’t just about covering your assets; it’s a powerful clinical tool that dictates whether your client’s nervous system melts into the table or braces for impact.
This continuing education course elevates draping from a mindless exercise in folding laundry into an intentional, powerful clinical intervention. You’ll explore the legal, ethical, and neurosomatic impacts of the drape to bridge the gap between bare-minimum legal standards and true therapeutic results. Through dynamic lecture and hands-on practice, you’ll transform your draping into a foundation for trust—allowing your clients to fully let go, and allowing you to stress less and do your best work.
