Athena Beauty Spa & Training Centre
Thai Body Work Diploma
For over 2500 years this healing therapy has been taught, practised and
handed down through generations of Thai people. Combining acupressure and
stretching techniques using the therapist’s fingers, thumbs, elbows,
arms and feet, the massage allows the body’s internal energy to flow
more freely, thus boosting the client’s energy levels and alleviating
conditions such as lower back pain, headaches and stress-related conditions.
It can help to relieve fatigue, muscular cramping and nervous tension; make
muscle and joints more supple; stimulate the blood and lymph circulation
for improved physical fitness; and improve body immunity for anti-aging
N.B. This massage does not involve use of a massage medium such as oil or
cream. It is carried out on a mat on the floor with the client wearing light,
loose, comfortable clothing. When attending the course please ensure your
own clothing is not restrictive, as the stretching techniques require freedom
of movement of both therapist and client.
