Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the hands, legs and feet that originated in Thailand about 2000 years ago. It is a part of traditional Thai massage and has elements of Shiatsu, Chinese massage and Yoga incorporated into the massage itself. It is still taught by Buddhist monks in the temples of ThailandWhen Buddhism began to spread to other parts of Asia, medical institutions and practices of the monastery went along as integral parts of the religious system. When Buddhism reached Thailand in the 3rd or 2nd century BC, temples were built with adjacent dispensaries and medical schools.Massage and other healing arts were taught and applied in the monasteries and within the family. In families it has been mainly an oral tradition (as most people could not read) handed down from teacher to student.

Q - Why is Thai Foot Massage is so popular?

It is a Certified Course that means that you can get insurance after completing the class.

Q - Can I practice this massage straight away? .

A– YES!


There is no Governing Body for Thai Foot Massage, so unlike Reflexology etc you’re not required to do case histories or I.T.E.C. This makes it an ideal massage to learn in one day for those who do not wish to learn Anatomy & Physiology with longer courses, or who have already done A & P.


Q - Can I learn this in just one day?

A – YES!
It can easily be learnt in one day, people who run workshops over a weekend, have larger groups to tutor, and end up teaching the same technique with you returning on the second day to go over everything you have learnt and cover the people who didn’t get any proper attention on the first day.

Not everyone has the time or the money to do this, which is why if you find a teacher who teaches small classes it can be taught in 1 day.


Q - Can I get insurance with your certificate?


A – YES!
You should get insurance details given to you on the day (depending who you train with), or alternatively you can add it to your existing insurance company.
