Thai Herbal Compress Massage

Thai Herbal Compress Massage (also known as Luk Pra Ko – translated as herbal pressing sphere) has been used for hundreds of years in Thailand as a remedy for sore aching muscles, stress relief, exhaustion and other ailments. This is a wonderful treatment that is still little know in Europe. Herbs are wrapped in balls of cotton muslin, steamed to release essentials oils and aromas, and then applied along the sen or energy lines of the body.

This treatment makes a lovely spa or high-end addition to any current therapies that you offer. Various forms and types of herbal compresses are also available so that treatments can be tailored towards treating specific conditions.

After completion of this class you will be asked to provide 10 case studies. You will only be awarded your certification after you have submitted these case studies and feedback has been given.

As with all of our physical and energy therapies, once you have completed the home study part of the class, before you begin your case studies, you are welcome to book a 'training day' in with us which will be held in Glastonbury, Somerset. The cost of this face-to-face training is free of charge and this is not a pre-requisite of completing the course. If you'd like further information on our training days or wish to book one with us, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.
