What it's about
Osteothai: Principles and General Overview is the introductory course of the Osteothai training of the Lulyani school, which integrates osteopathic principles and techniques into traditional Thai massage. Taught by the osteopath David Lutt, co-founder of Osteothai, it presents the osteopathic principles on which all Osteothai techniques are based and gives an overview of the other courses of the training.
The overview covers the peripheral joints (ankle, knee, hip), the spine including lower back pain and the cervical region, the visceral system and its relation to the pelvis, freeing the breath, the craniosacral system and the Primary Respiratory Movement, and work with the fascia. Participants learn to touch the structure, the fluids and the energy of the body with Fire, Water and Air touch, and study treatment principles such as mobility and vitality, "less is more" and the midline.
The course is for students experienced in Thai massage. It takes place from 25 to 29 January 2027 at the Sunshine Massage School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and comprises five days and 30 CE hours. The fee is THB 14,500 (approx. EUR 396). The school lists the course as fully booked. The Lulyani calendar names Tessa Kaser as contact for information and registration.
