ANCIENT THAI THERAPIST COURSE

Sachiko Ogura

I think there are as many Thai massage schools as there are stars now. Why did you come here? When I participated in the hands-on seminar, my teacher said to me, "Do you have any questions? There's nothing you don't know. If you don't solve what you don't understand, you won't get better." When I heard that, I thought that this is not a school where you just take and graduate, but a place where you can learn techniques properly and see what you can do, and I definitely want to enter. After taking the class, I realized that I definitely felt that way. To be honest, there are only “fun” and “interesting” (laughs). 3 hours will be over in no time. It's hard not to throw away the small talk (regardless of genre) as well as teaching me a certain technique. Also, even though the courses are different, the other students who are studying with me have the same goal, so we are very friendly and I can't help but look forward to coming from Okayama every month. I don't have any negative things like "disadvantages" or "dissatisfaction", so if someone asks me, I'm honestly at a loss (laughs). While re-realizing the splendor of the ancient Thai method, I think I'm learning the importance of treating with "feel". I want to become a full-fledged person as soon as possible (although it is a lifelong study), but I do not want to graduate, I am a bad student who wants to repeat a year。

When I started going to school, the first thing I did in class was to have the teacher give me a massage, saying, "It feels like this." Then the students practiced with each other, so recently I don't spend money to go get a massage anymore. I was. It may be thanks to the traditional Thai massage that I am in good physical condition and often feel relaxed. The class is really fun and everyone is friendly. He praises me and stretches me, and gives me funny attention. It is an environment where you can immediately ask questions about things you do not understand. I'm really glad that I entered this school♪

In my home country, China, there are Chinese manipulative treatments, but after watching the video of the principal of this school, I wanted to try Thai massage. At other schools, I would be pushed so hard that I would end up with a bruise the next day, but here the style was completely different. I was taught that posture and weight shift are important, not strength. My body is comfortable, and it feels really good to receive it. So I decided to enroll. In class, teachers and students taught me kindly. The explanation was easy to understand. At the beginning, there were many things I didn't understand, so I lost my confidence, but I was able to grow as the reasons for my doubts and mistakes became clear. I will continue to study hard.

Do you want to learn Thai ancient rites? ” For a number of reasons, we ended up with Thai Traditional. The first is the influence of Minae Hata, who is active as an acupuncturist in Nepal. Mr. Hata, who is in his 70s, still conducts health camps in rural Nepal where medical care is not available, and provides free treatment to local people who cannot go to hospitals. Among them, Mr. Hata said, "I want to improve the patient's symptoms no matter what, I want to help them recover." It is possible, and I am helping to bring it out.” (Omitted) Also, unlike other massages, the person receiving the treatment can also relax, and there are many opportunities for “touching” to touch the other person. I chose the traditional Thai style because it gives me a sense of being valued, and gives me a sense of presence in the other person's life. The reason why I chose this school is that I can learn not only massage but also related anatomy and physiology. This is because the teaching method is based on In addition, the instructors who teach me are always polite and humble, and have a compassionate feeling of Buddhism "Ji". (Omitted) At first, I thought that Thai traditional methods were underestimated, and I wanted to learn in a short period of time at a cheap school or in Thailand. So, I realized that there is no point unless I learn how to push, anatomy and physiology, etc. comprehensively. In addition, every time I leave class, I discover something new, research every time I discover something, feel the depth and charm of traditional Thai rites, and feel the excitement of, "What kind of things will I be working on today?" Become. Many schools are open on Saturdays and Sundays, and one of the attractions is that you can learn while working. In addition, we have created a curriculum that suits the situation of the student, so you can study slowly without rushing. However, I would like you to be careful, because it will be done after actually receiving the treatment in class, so even if you concentrate, you will lose your comfort and fall asleep during class. me too many times . . . .
