This class builds upon the instruction in Thai 1 which introduced the basic forms, principles and techniques of Thai Massage in each of the primary positions: Supine, Prone, Side-Lying & Seated. In Thai II we continue to learn new techniques but now the emphasis shifts to addressing common issues and injuries that a practitioner is likely to encounter in private practice; common structural ailments such as sciatica, low back pain, frozen shoulder etc. After taking this course, you will feel better prepared to apply your knowledge of Thai Yoga bodywork towards helping clients cope with injuries and pain.
