- The principles and techniques in this course are a combination of Thai (compression & stretching) and Osteopathy principles which allow deeper access in the body without pain or force-driven techniques. I believe this to be one of the finest courses and can easily be done on a mat on the floor if this is your preference.
- Table Thai is the bridge between Eastern and Western methodologies that helps therapists in their body mechanics for the longevity of the profession.
- A new service offered to your menu of services or a stand-alone service that makes you unique!
