Q&A

yes. It is a reservation system in advance, but it is open for free during the period of enrollment, so please use it. From what time to what time? The person in charge is decided, and everyone is working hard to practice with each other. After graduation, space will be rented for a fee.

Not to mention the aging society, the culture of receiving massage has taken root and the market is steadily expanding. However, the competition is intensifying as the number of mere massage shops that loosen the stiffness, whether cheap or bad, has recently increased. The business model of opening a store in front of the station and trying to attract customers with only the skill of burning blades is gradually beginning to fade. In a broad sense, it is the same therapist business, but the needs are different in the first place between a mere massage shop that loosens the stiffness and a massage shop that can maintain the client. Consumers aren't stupid either, so it's easy to see if they're good or bad. The plating will come off immediately. In the business model of opening a home, you will be in charge of not only removing stiffness but also taking care of the client in general, so you cannot open a business unless you know it properly. Therefore, when a person who has been a Korihogushi therapist for several years decides to open a business, there are many cases where he is enrolled in our school with the idea of ​​"Let's learn properly again!". Even in the younger generation, it seems that lifestyles that are particular about organic diets, try not to take medicine as much as possible, and improve the natural healing power that human beings should have are becoming widespread. I also think. These people are concerned about body maintenance, so the demand for massage treatments will never diminish. In particular, the demand for Thai traditional massage is significantly higher than other massages. Thai traditional massage therapists are sought after not only in hot bath facilities but also in overseas spas and luxury cruise ships. There are still not enough good therapists, and we continue to receive offers from many massage shops and massage chains to recruit therapists.

it's difficult. Correspondence education is just correspondence education. It's not zero, but it's not like learning face-to-face. I feel sorry to say this while offering it as a commercial product, but it is a fact. If you want to learn something uniform, if you want to learn clerical things, I think that correspondence education is not the same, but for example, if you learn golf and judo only by correspondence education, it is somewhat difficult. I think you can understand. The height, weight, length of limbs, and range of motion of joints differ depending on the person, so it is most important to give guidance that suits that person. If you already have experience points and have already acquired physical sensations, I think that there is no problem, but inexperienced people alone do not acquire professional level skills. Our school's distance learning curriculum includes schooling for that purpose, but it is up to you to hand over your certificate within a fixed time. Therefore, some people finally got a certificate of completion after taking several additional courses. It seems that it was extra expensive. excuse me. Since it is not just a school that has a qualification issuance business at a low price, no certificate will be issued unless you can do it properly. Thank you for your understanding. If you live far away, we can accommodate you in a short-term training camp, so please feel free to contact us.

Subject of selection is a course in which you select and study only the subjects you are interested in. The course will end when the fixed number of credits has been taken. It is not possible to review and participate in classes many times within the price. Therefore, many of the people who take the specialized course are professional therapists, and after having their own style as a base, they choose the courses that are useful for them. Some of them have no plans to work as a professional therapist and learn for the purpose of personal health care and relaxation for their families. General course is to study a number of subjects step by step from basic to applied. You can definitely learn from the inexperienced person with the curriculum set to aim for the professional level. Even experienced people can learn from the basics to practical applications, which are so important that they can study again from the beginning. The general course focuses on a collection of specialized curriculums, but also includes curriculums that are not set for specialized courses. It also supports the professional qualification of the industry group TTMA, and one of the features is that you can get the qualification without taking the exam only by internal confirmation. In addition, by studying step by step, it is set so that you can study even in a shorter time frame than the specialized course, so the price is set considerably cheaper than studying the same curriculum in the specialized course. Since the comprehensive course is a system that allows you to take the course over and over again within the period, there is no risk that you could not take the course due to a sudden schedule. If you want to be a professional, you can go to the general course. If you want to learn quickly, you can say that it is a specialized course.

It is also possible to upgrade within the general course course. Some people choose to take a cheap course because they are not confident or lack money. If you are in the same comprehensive course, you can change the course by paying only the difference in the tuition fee. However, in that case, the course will be interpreted as going back to the first start point, so the course period will not be extended. In rare cases, you may start with Professional therapist debut Course (Deadline: 6 months) and then transfer to your desired Freelance therapist course (Deadline: 12 months). If you change the course after 6 months have passed, the remaining course period will be converted to 6 months. Therefore, if you want to enter the independent practice comprehensive course, it is certainly better to enter the course as it is. By the way, if you change the course from the elective special course to the general main course, an administrative fee of 20,000 yen will be charged separately for transfer. There is no entrance fee.

Studying in Thailand is certainly a lot of fun to feel like traveling. The spicy Thai food is delicious and you can enjoy the nightlife. Therefore, I recommend studying in Thailand for those who just want to have fun. However, in reality, many Thai school graduates visit our school. The reason is that I didn't acquire the skills, and there are many reasons why I want to study again from the beginning. Even a Thai school will teach you a set procedure according to the text, but well, I just got an explanation. That is the fact. This may be unavoidable because it is a national character or a difference in feeling. In Japan, there are many schools that are like branches of Thai schools, but they all have the same feeling of "explaining". There is a TTMA group school "NBS Chiang Mai" in Thailand, so it's all about Thailand! It's Japan! That is not the case, but the fastest way to improve your school selection is to have a reliable instructor teach you according to your own goals. I think there are various reasons such as easy access, good location, low price, cool teacher, etc., but please think carefully. Most of the people who are serious about doing as professional therapists in the Thai traditional industry are from our school. Among the existing salons, it is the graduates of this school who are praised for their high technical level by taking the number one nomination. Therefore, if you state that you are from this school in your resume, it seems that there are many cases where you are exempted from the on-the-job examination in the entrance examination. There are many applications from people who have studied in Thailand at the salons of the TTMA group, but in most cases they have to be re-learned. When choosing a school, it is important to choose a school that suits your purpose. If you fail, it's like throwing money and time into the drain.

It is the oldest school in Japan that has taught Thai traditional massage. The professional market share in the industry is also outstanding. Independent practitioners also have a large number of successes nationwide. Companies that are developing chains, including private salons that open at home, are also graduates here. Some of them shared their origins and started their own school, but they were originally from here. I am absolutely confident in teaching. You can improve your skills speedily and surely because you practice a special teaching method. TTMA instructor qualifications are much more difficult than other schools. To be honest, it may have become more difficult year by year. It's a trade secret, so I can't tell you much, but there are many special teaching methods only here. A curriculum that uses red and yellow cards to create a game-like curriculum, and a curriculum that allows you to learn the steps and sense of distance that suit the person by using a blindfold. A dynamic explanation of the movement of the center of gravity and how to use the hands, and an explanation of the touch and feeling of chest breathing and abdominal breathing. There are many special teaching methods anyway. Secondly, the mother of our school is TTMA, an ancient Thai industry group. TTMA is a prestigious industry group that has been practicing the promotion of Thai traditional massage with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Thailand. Nowadays, many associations have been established in the Thai traditional industry, but in many cases it is just a private school just by giving the name of the association. The TTMA certification does not matter which school you are from, so people from various schools in Japan and Thailand have taken the exam and obtained the qualification. In other words, we know all the schools in the world that teach what kind of content. I've heard a lot of actual stories. Most other schools just explain the procedure of the work. If you can do it just by receiving an explanation, it will not be that easy. Many people want to go to Thailand because Thailand is the home. Schools in Thailand are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) and the Ministry of Education. Many Japanese also want the value of being Thai government-affiliated, and there are many people who go to school in Thailand. But the fact is that as long as the government is involved, you can only learn fixed, safe and mundane techniques. This is because if an accident occurs after the technique learned in Thailand, it may lead to an international conflict at worst. At TTMA, we are conducting research while conducting clinical experiments on patients with psychiatric disorders such as depression and addiction, which are becoming a problem all over the world today. This is because new diseases and illnesses that did not exist in traditional medicine are hitting the world. Traditional medicine can be used for the first time by practicing it with the aim of helping people who are really in need, not just the successors of traditional culture. Originally, traditional medicine was developed as a treatment, not for the purpose of relaxation. At TTMA, we do research every day so that professional therapists can contribute to the many people who seek help. The experience and achievements cultivated in TTMA are fed back to the official school as know-how. When asked what is different compared to other schools, the stance and purpose may be different in the first place. Our school is not a school that teaches the procedure of working by applying Thai traditional massage to traditional culture, but it is a school that can be said to be the wisdom of humankind, to make traditional medicine more useful to the world and pass it on to future generations. ..

Certainly there are other schools that sell curriculums that specialize in anatomical physiology. Certainly, a better understanding of anatomy is necessary or obligatory for the therapist. But how about making it look like a manipulative treatment? I also feel that. The position of manipulative treatment has a part that is based on the Western medical way of thinking. Therefore, many therapists wear white coats as uniforms. Traditional oriental medicine approaches are different from modern western medicine. For example, in Western medicine, it is said that strong compression should be stopped because it damages muscle fibers, but in reality, partial strong compression can lead to considerable results. The key is to be able to properly teach what approach should be taken in order to apply pressure to the deep part without damaging the muscle fibers on the surface, including precautions and dangers. Looking at our curriculum, it is certain that there are relatively few anatomical physiology classes. However, in reality, it is a topic that appears as a normal story in practical lessons. This is because I think that it is better to add explanations while touching the body, rather than setting up a separate lesson as a lecture. Because this is the case, there are usually explanations that it is dangerous to do this, or that if there is a problem with this muscle, it is meaningless if you do not do this. For example, in the approach to shoulder periarthritis called forty shoulders or frozen shoulders, in order to find out where the problem is in the multi-layered muscles, look at the range of motion of the arm connected to the shoulder joint. Without it, you can't take the right approach. If you don't loosen the superficial muscles, it's hard to tell the stiffness of the deep muscles. Among the experienced people, the one who smells the most is the one who knows the name of the muscle and fires in rapid succession. It's not amazing because I know the name. Unless you are familiar with how the muscles work and what movements they correspond to, you will not be able to imagine your daily lifestyle from the state of the client's stiffness, and you should accurately reduce the spiciness. You can't do that. It is a pity that Thai traditional massage is only extracted from Thai traditional medicine and is understood only as a series of compression and stretching work, but the traditional medicine originally introduced to Thailand has a more magical element. I was conscious of natural energy and had a strong spiritual element. Of course, we instructors also know the anatomical physiology, but when performing the actual treatment, we do not think with our head how the muscles are. This is because if the treatment is performed using the left brain, it will not work as energy work. If you want to approach this muscle, the therapist should put effort into his hands and arms so that he doesn't get in the wrong direction. However, this is an approach that is contrary to the original idea of ​​traditional oriental medicine, which is the idea of ​​Western medicine rash. In Western medicine, the body is classified and interpreted by parts, but in Oriental medicine, the body is considered as a collection of cells and approached. It is said that in order to rejuvenate one cell, it is necessary to supplement the three elements of ki, blood, and water. Ki is a prana that appears in Thai medicine and yoga, but if the therapist cannot control Ki, it is a formal therapist. When controlling Ki, the therapist himself cannot truly approach the client unless he is in a meditative state, that is, a state in which his senses are sharpened by abdominal breathing. In other words, the therapist shouldn't use his strength. In order to apply pressure without using muscle strength, if you adjust the sense of distance to the client and make good use of the stance of both feet and step work, you can express great pressure by moving the center of gravity by just a few centimeters. You should be able to. The types of pressure are not just strong or weak. It can be expressed with various feelings such as soft, hard, warm, cold, etc. Bruce Lee also says "Don't think! Feel!". Don't forget to feel, not think. There is a limit to how much I can explain in words, so I will do this, but shouldn't the Thai traditional massage be combined with manipulative treatment and sports massage? I think for a moment.

Just as yoga was divided into several schools and developed, as the market grows, it is subdivided into schools according to the way of thinking. Thai traditional massage is also divided by school like that. Bangkok style is typical. Chiang Mai style. Thai government government style. And so on. The Bangkok style begins at Wat Po Massage School in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. It started in 1961 with a voice from King Pumipon Thai, "Don't you teach Thai massage?", And the style was assembled by the president of Wat Pho Thai Traditional Medicine School. Mr. Shin Thong, a staff member of Wat Pho Thai Traditional Medicine School, has a better massage style in Chiang Mai! The Chiang Mai style started when I quit here. In other words, the Chiang Mai style began in 1962 at the Old Medicine Hospital in Chiang Mai. Schools in Chiang Mai such as ITM, Roykuro, Wandy, and Nimmanhaemin are schools created independently by old medicine teachers, and the techniques are not much different. Many of you know that the roots of Thai traditional massage go back 2500 years. However, it has only been 700 to 800 years since the Kingdom of Thailand was founded. The roots are Omoto. The founder of Thai traditional massage is Shivago, who was the doctor of Buddha, but he was born in North India and is not Thai. Thai massage is, so to speak, a treatment method that has spread throughout the Kingdom of Thailand, and since it was a story when a small country was divided into groups, it is collectively referred to as Thai massage. However, in 1985, the Thai Massage Reconstruction Project was formed, and the Thai government-affiliated Thai Ministry of Health style was created by private members such as Pisit. The widely known method of Thai traditional massage is that it is just like a package for the general public so that anyone can easily do it by looking at the procedure alone.

W yoga massage is an advanced style of Thai traditional massage that was created while TTMA was pursuing a more therapeutic method. It is an acrobatic healing method that connects with stretching while meditating. It is a new style reconstructed by TTMA based on many classical medical theories such as yoga, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Reiki, etc., while being based on traditional Thai medicine. Traditional Thai massage is also called "yoga performed by two people", but it is a pity that very few therapists can actually do it. You can't do yoga without breathing, meditation, and breathing. And above all, if you can't prepare your mind, you won't be able to communicate with your clients, so you won't be able to perform treatments that will impress you. However, although Thai traditional massage has become very famous, as the market expands, only business will inevitably take the lead and the content will become thinner. I became more and more skeptical about it, and after pursuing the results, it became like this. Therefore, it can be said that it is a Thai traditional massage, and it can be said that it is not. In fact, we have developed and added a lot of new stretching techniques that did not exist in traditional Thai massage. There is no fixed procedure for double yoga massage. In addition to thumb and palm compression, use elbow, knee, and foot compression, as well as hips and head. We also shake and vibrate. It also takes a deformed posture. Do not push with force. It is a free-style treatment that allows you to move freely sensuously by connecting your client and consciousness while meditating with abdominal breathing, always relaxing.

Is possible. If you take the same lesson together, it will be easier to schedule. However, the tuition fee cannot be discounted, so I'm sorry. We will provide a service for the entrance fee. I'm thinking of giving something as a gift.
