WHAT IS ADVANCED NUAD THAI MASSAGE?
Click here if you like to know what Advanced Nuad Thai massage is
Advanced Nuad Thai Massage Therapy is used in Asian hospitals to eliminate the need for surgery.
During the first appointment, the therapist provides comprehensive information of the complaints of the client through examination and asking questions. The therapist then gives a deep 1 to 2 hour therapeutic acupressure massage tailored to the complaints of the client.
This massage is given over the clothes. The client lies on a mat or on a table.
The therapist provides acupressure massage using thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and feet through the clothes, using body weight.
Massage therapy assumes that everything in our body is interconnected, also named Holistic and that the origin of the complaint may come from elsewhere in the body than from the painful area itself. Therefore, the massage treatment is a whole body massage, starting at the feet and ending at the head.
Because everyone is different and each complaint is different, a treatment plan is developed together with the client at the end of the first treatment. The number of treatments depends on the complaint and its severity. Besides dealing with complaints, the therapist focuses on the prevention of recurrence of symptoms.

FAQ
Click on the question to see the answer
What is the difference between physiotherapy and acupressure massage therapy?
What is the difference with the Nuad Thai Massage Program and the Advanced Nuad Thai Massage Program?
What is the difference with the Thai Yoga Massage Teacher Training Program?
I have studied Nuad Thai massage at other schools. Can I still participate?
We will look at the type of training you have completed, and what your understanding of Thai massage is, to help you determine which classes are suitable for you. Ideally, we encourage everyone to start with the Nuad Thai Massage Program as it is a good foundation for Thai massage. The Advanced Nuad Thai Massage Program starts with the Level 3 Thai Yoga Massage (Nuad Bo Rarn): It is required to have followed the courses Level 1 & Level 2 Thai Yoga Massage (Nuad Bo Rarn) of ITM first (online or face-to-face), before you can start with the Level 3 Thai Yoga Massage course, because the techniques of our advanced courses always relate to the techniques of the previous courses. If you studied at another ITM location than ITM Amsterdam, such as ITM Thai Hand Berlin or ITM Chiang Mai, you can proceed to the next level or retake our courses. Please let us know.
How about the exam?
The Advanced Nuad Thai Massage Program is more focused on practice rather than theory, because we believe in “practice makes perfect.” The exams are purely practical. We believe that our curriculum gives you all the tools to be a good Advanced Nuad Thai Massage Therapist. During the training, 4 examinations (one per module) are taken. You can schedule these exams when you feel ready. Each exam consists of giving a massage associated with the module to a model. The exams are optional. The fee is 90 euro per exam and you receive international certifications.
Do I still have to pay a tuition fee once I have graduated?
No. Many of our graduates come back and take new classes, but this is not mandatory.
Is my certificate also valid in my country of residence?
Each country has its own rules about giving massage treatments. ITM is recognized as a training institute in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and the Netherlands. Therapists in these countries can use their ITM education for their personal education requirements/credits. Check with your local government/municipality before offering massage to the public.
