Thai Massage online course

Thai Massage is one of the most beneficial types of massage for human health, as practically all skeletal muscles, joints, and other systems of the human body are affected during a massage session. The Thai Massage is performed while the client is in different positions: prone, supine, side-lying, or sitting. Thai Massage is performed on the floor on a special mat or a massage table. During the Thai Massage session, various positions ensure that skeletal muscles, ligaments, joints, and other structures are thoroughly influenced. Therefore, Thai Massage can be considered one of the most beneficial types of massage ever developed in the field of massage. Another name for Thai massage is Thai Yoga Massage, which indirectly specifies the benefits of this type of massage for the human body.
