What it's about
Osteothai for the Lower Back is a five-day training with Oliver Chamorro that brings Thai massage and osteopathy together to treat the spine, especially the lumbar region. The lower back is described as a meeting point of the musculoskeletal, visceral, nervous, fascial and energetic systems.
The course aims to improve vertebral mobility, restore vitality and bring back ease of movement, combining dynamic and static techniques from Thai massage and osteopathy with craniosacral work to release the dura mater. Topics include an Osteothai routine for chronic lower back pain, the bony structure of the sacroiliac joint and spine, the craniosacral system and the core link, Hara work, and the difference between acute and chronic pain. Participants also study the connection between structure, organs and emotional patterns.
The training is open to people with basic experience in Thai massage, shiatsu, physiotherapy, bodywork or massage therapy. It takes place from 8 to 12 February 2027 at ITM International Training Massage School, 59/9 Chang Puek Road, Soi 4, in Chiang Mai. Sangha School courses can be taught in or translated into English, French and Spanish; pricing is handled by ITM.
