Thai Herbal compresses are traditionally used as a part of Thai Massage. Ground fresh or dried herbs are wrapped in a muslin cloth, and then steamed to release the potent qualities of the herbs. These hot herbal compresses, known as prakhop, are then systematically pressed over the body.

Course Entry Requirements & Pre-requisites

No previous qualification is required. The course is taught in the traditional fashion and without the need for specific anatomical knowledge, however to practise professionally in the UK, as a member of a recognised governing body, it is also essential to have a recognised qualification in Anatomy & Physiology and Massage.

Course Duration

This is a one day course

Assessment

Assessment is ongoing throughout the day

The Examination Body

As there are no National Occupational Standards for Thai Foot Massage, the course is assessed internally to accepted National Standards of Assessment. The FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) recognise our qualifications, along with many other governing bodies.

Further Study

This treatment can be incorporated into a traditional Thai Massage and so Thai Massage Level I & II would be appropriate training. The course has also been designed so that it can be incorporated into other treatments as an add-on or stand alone treatment. If studied with the Thai Fusion Massage course you will be able to devise your own signature Thai treatment.
