The BODYHARMONICS massage therapy school offers the most complete and comprehensive training course in Thai massage in Britain to become a fully professional Thai massage master practitioner.

Maria Mercati's Thai Massage Master Practitioner course qualifies you to practice professionally and be eligible for insurance both as a student and as a qualified therapist. It's intensive unique approach covers all aspects of Thai massage - wellness, treatment, feet and on-site neck & shoulder enabling you to use it for a tailor made 20 minute treatment up to a 3 hour wellness massage.

NEW for 2008
I have decided to include basic Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM )the 14 energy channels and the location and function of 100 main ENERGY points. The course is specifically structured so as to make them highly relevant to the techniques being taught. Being able to accurately locate the energy channels and their specific energy-points will totally transform your ability to treat your patient's problems.
This valuable knowledge will enable you to feel and locate pathological changes in the underlying tissues which essential for the use of Thai massage as a therapy instead of just a routine.
I will also cover basic TCM theory enabling you to make a diagnosis based on Yin & Yang, Qi, Jing, Shen, Blood & Body Fluids.

NEW for 2008
If you wish to carry on and learn Tui Na or Acupuncture,
you can continue with Module 2 – Tui Na Master Practitioner and then do
Module 3 – Acupuncture.

picture of Maria Mercati and Peter PackardThere are now many Thai massage schools in this country, most of which teach a routine as we do. This will enable you to perform a whole body wellness Thai massage lasting for 60 -180 minutes depending on the client's needs. However, in addition, myself and Peter Packard who teaches this course with me will explain the how, the why, the when and the how much of each technique and which acupoints to be used for treating different patients and conditions. This will enable you to specifically treat musculo-skeletal problems and sports injuries.

We will also teach you to give a Thai foot massage and how to give Thai neck & shoulder on-site massage.

Anatomy and physiology course
If you do not have an acceptable Anatomy & Physiology ( A & P ) qualification , we offer a separate A & P course beginning in July 2008. You need to complete this A&P course in order to receive a Thai Massage Master Practitioner Diploma.
Our anatomy & physiology lessons are specifically  structured  to make them highly relevant to the techniques being taught.  This method allows you to tailor your treatment with confidence, sensitivity and effectiveness to the various needs of your clients. The greater the understanding you have of the techniques the more effective your treatments will become.

Our Thai massage courses are highly intensive teaching many practical skills with emphasis on their use in the treatment of patients.

Thai massage is used to not only maintain good health physically, mentally and emotionally but also as a means of treating a range of pathological conditions of the musculo-skeletal system such as lower back pain, sciatica, fibrositis etc. etc.
