WHAT IS NUAD THAI MASSAGE?
Click here if you like to know what Nuad Thai massage is
First and only UN-recognized massage technique
Nuad Thai – also called Thai yoga massage – is the only massage technique in the world recognized by Unesco as world heritage.
Health benefits for both client & masseur
This massage therapy is based on manipulation of the joints, acupressure along the muscles and stretching of the muscles, with enormous health benefits for both client, but also for the masseur.
Used in hospitals
In Asia, and Thailand in particular, massage is part of regular medicine (it is used in hospitals) and a daily routing with enormous health results. In the west, the benefits of massage are also becoming more and more familiar.
Different than other forms of massage
Nuad Thai massage is different than other forms of massage, because both masseur and client are constantly moving in yoga-like positions with Tai Chi movements. This is especially the case when performed in the original way: over the clothes on a mat on the floor.
Meditation & Flexibility
This is why not only the client but also the masseur becomes more flexible and is in meditation during the treatment.
Over 2500 years old
Nuad Thai massage is aimed at preventing ailments and improving overall health. This massage technique excists already for more than 2500 years. Originally it is done on the mat over the clothes and also widely known as traditional thai yoga massage.
Various massage disciplines
During the years Nuad Thai massage became populair worldwide and is now not only performed on a mat. You can also receive Nuad Thai massage on a chair or performed on the table. Mostly given as full-body massage over the clothes on the mat, Nuad Thai massage can also be given as foot reflexology massage. And since deep tissue & sports massage is mostly well-known in other areas of the world outside Asia, we do teach this technique as well as part of the Nuad Thai program.

Office workers who are regularly massaged are more alert, perform better and are less stressed. Chair massage is the best massage to learn if you want a flexible job. As a chair massage therapist you can work in markets, festivals, offices, shops, businesses and more.

I don’t have experience. Can I join?
We will teach you everything from the beginning. You can take the lessons online at your own pace. We offer personal support, to be sure you will have all the tools to be a great Nuad Thai Massage therapist and be fully ready for your new career. Or if a new career is not your desire, you will be fully ready to give great massage treatments to improve the health of your friends and family.
What’s the schedule for the program? Can I take it at my own pace?
Yes. Upon purchasing the program you’ll get direct access. It’s entirely self-paced and the content is online 24/7, so you can take it whenever and wherever you want. Plus you get 1-year access so you can return to the content again and again. Moreover we also give personal guidance.
How is the program content delivered?
The content all sits on one private portal online at thai-hand-academy.com. For each module there are videos and PDF downloadables. You can watch, listen or read – or all 3.
For how long will I have access to the content?
The program takes 6 months. However, you will have 1 year access to all the program content. This is usually enough to master all the information. However, if you like to have access longer, it is optional to renew your access.
Can I start a massage practice afterwards?
The profession of ‘massage therapist’ is not protected. You can start working as an independent massage therapist as soon as you have a work space and are registered at the Chamber of Commerce. Your certification also allows you to work at spa’s, wellness centers and yoga schools. There is a large demand for Nuad Thai massage therapists.
I have health issues. Is a massage training right for me at the moment or is it better to wait until I am completely fit?
Our unique teaching method ensures that you also experience the health benefits of massage during the classes. Many of our students heal their burnout, back pain, headaches and stress simply by taking the massage classes and experiencing the benefits of Nuad Thai massage themselves.
Do I get a certificate?
Upon successful completion of the program, it is optional to get certified. The certification consists of 6 practical exams which you can take online or live in our school in Amsterdam (you can choose what fits you best!) – 90 euro per exam.
ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam is an internationally accredited massage school, a franchise of ITM Chiang Mai, the best Massage School in Thailand.
Our school is registered at the Central Register of Short Professional Education, CRKBO (Centraal Register Kort Beroepsonderwijs) and the World Massage Federation.
The certificates you will receive as a graduate of Thai Yoga Massage Level 1 (Nuad Bo Rarn), Thai Yoga Massage Level 2 (Nuad Bo Rarn), Thai Table Massage, Thai Chair Massage, Thai Foot Reflexology and Deep Tissue (Sports) Massage are internationally recognized.
Do I get a job guarantee?
If you are serious about learning Nuad Thai massage, then you can find a job. We see this happen all the time with our graduates. Of course, we cannot guarantee you a job, just as a university degree, for example, does not guarantee you work either. ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam regularly seeks new employees and we also connect our graduate therapists with centers and practices who have vacancies. We see a growing demand for Nuad Thai Massage Therapists and believe that this demand will continue to grow. So our graduates should be able to find a job quite easily.
in What language is the program given?
All classes are taught in English, including the didactic material. But if you have a problem with the language, we also speak Dutch and Spanish. Our students come from different countries. Some have English as their mother tongue, but most have English as a second or third language. Our students have never had a problem with the language, even if their English is very basic. Nuad Thai massage is traditionally taught and learned by feeling and looking – so English is not essential, but only makes it easier to learn.
Can I ask questions during the program to the teachers?
We are there to help you. Our videos are very easy to follow, but if you like to ask questions to the teachers you are very welcome. We do have personal support during our live Q and A sessions (which will be recorded, so you can also watch when you like), where you can ask all your questions! These sessions are there to support you.
Nicole van Zurk & Manuel Luque Aguilera

P.P.S. We guarantee that you will receive internationally recognized certificates after successfully completing our courses (this is optional).
