This eight-hour, hands-on CE class is inspired by Eastern Table Thai Massage* and blended with Western stretch therapies, such as Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) principles.
By the end of this class, you will be able to offer a one-hour, lubricant-free treatment (with the client either fully dressed or draped on a massage table) that combines Table Thai, Active Isolated Stretching, passive positional release techniques, and percussive massage. This versatile fusion of techniques is ideal for public settings where clients remain fully clothed, such as sporting events, gyms, fitness facilities, and group classes. It is equally suited for traditional massage spaces where clients disrobe under a sheet.
This easy and intuitive Thumb Saver class is designed for therapists of all experience levels. It helps protect your thumbs and hands while expanding your practice to include treatments suitable for group settings and indoor/outdoor public events. Set up your table at sporting events, health fairs, or your favorite gym—or seamlessly integrate these techniques into your regular practice.
*Table Thai incorporates traditional Thai massage philosophies to provide deep, satisfying stretches while allowing the therapist to keep both feet on the floor. Best of all, this routine doesn't require a mat or special equipment—it works seamlessly on a massage table and can be easily integrated into any massage practice.
