Thai Massage, known locally as Nuad Pen Boran, is an ancient art in which wisdom has been passed down through generations of practitioners and healers. ITM-International Training Massage School offers extensive training in massage techniques, both theoretical and practical. Their curricula are accredited by the Thai Ministry of Education.
The courses are constructed to help students fully integrate the material by providing time for practice between the lessons. Each session is a complete package including discussion, observation, practice and experiencing the work for yourself while someone practices with you.
ITM School holds various courses, including teacher training, all of which are taught in English and start on Mondays. Their style focuses on flowing movements, sensitivity and tailor made techniques to suit individual needs. As everybody is different, the school encourages students to adjust their techniques to suit individuals and their body conditions.
