Advanced Thai Table Workshop

The Advanced Thai Table Workshop builds directly upon your previous Thai Table training.

Across the two days you will:

• Refresh and refine techniques from the first course.
• Expand your existing Thai Table toolkit.
• Explore a range of new side-lying techniques.
• Develop further stretches and mobilisations.
• Explore different ways of moving and positioning your client.
• Continue refining your own body use.
• Learn how to adapt techniques to different clients.
• Develop greater flow and confidence within your treatments.

The emphasis throughout is on practical exploration and giving you techniques that can genuinely become part of your everyday practice.

Take Your Thai Table Skills Further

Your first Thai Table course introduced a different way of thinking about massage – one that brings movement, stretching, mobilisation and dynamic body use into your treatments.

Now it’s time to build upon it.

Refresh the techniques you already know, explore the possibilities of side-lying and add even more movement and creativity to your treatments.

If Thai Table has become a part of the way you love to work, the Advanced Thai Table Workshop is your next step.

The two days will include:

• Review and refinement of selected Level 1 Thai Table techniques.
• Side-lying positioning and treatment approaches.
• New Thai-inspired stretches and mobilisations.
• Working dynamically with client movement.
• Therapist body mechanics, leverage and use of body weight.
• Adapting techniques for different bodies and levels of mobility.
• Integrating new techniques into your existing massage treatments.
• Developing flowing Thai Table treatment sequences.

There will be plenty of supervised hands-on practice throughout both days.

Students must hold a:

• Minimum Level 3 Massage qualification.
• Minimum Level 3 Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology qualification.

You must also have previously completed the first Thai Table Massage course with Ruth Bell.

This is important as the Advanced workshop builds directly upon the techniques and principles introduced during your original training.

This is a two-day, highly practical workshop.

You will have opportunities to revisit techniques from your previous training before progressing into new material, with a particular focus on side-lying work. You will both give and receive techniques throughout the weekend, allowing you to experience the work from the perspective of both therapist and client.

There is no formal assessment.

Ruth will provide guidance and feedback throughout the practical sessions, helping you refine existing techniques and develop confidence with the new approaches.

You will receive a Certificate of Attendance on completion of the Advanced Thai Table Workshop for your CPD records.

Do I have to complete the first Thai Table course before attending?

Yes. This workshop builds directly upon the techniques and principles taught during Ruth’s first Thai Table course, so previous completion is essential.

I haven’t used all of my Thai Table techniques recently. Will I be able to keep up?

Absolutely. Part of the workshop will involve refreshing and refining techniques from your original training before progressing into the new material.

You don’t need to arrive remembering every technique perfectly!

Is this mainly a side-lying course?

Side-lying is an important focus and allows us to introduce lots of new possibilities, but it isn’t the only element of the weekend. You will also revisit previous work and continue developing your wider Thai Table skills, movement and treatment flow.

Do I need to be particularly flexible?

No. As with the original Thai Table training, you don’t need to be a gymnast! The techniques are adapted for the treatment table and there is a strong emphasis on effective therapist body use and finding approaches that work for you.
