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.
