What it's about
Hands Free Thai Massage, with David Roma, teaches how to work on clients in a way that benefits both sides deeply and sustainably. Using the feet, legs, elbows and knees, therapists can give broad, deep pressure while sparing their hands, wrists and shoulders. This approach is very common in Thailand and helps practitioners avoid repetitive strain injuries over a long career.
The course covers the general principles and body mechanics of this way of working, together with a wide range of effective and creative techniques for full-body massage, including precise elbow work and the use of the feet. The emphasis is on giving deeper, broader pressure safely and efficiently, with less effort for the practitioner and without strain or injury.
The prerequisite is basic Thai massage experience. The course runs from 1 to 5 March 2027 (5 days, 30 hours) at Sunshine Massage School, 159/2 Kaeo Nawarat Road, Chiang Mai. It costs 13,500 baht. A deposit of 50 % of the course fee secures the place once it has been confirmed.
