There is lots of information and training available, but not much is available about the challenges that practitioners encounter.

The Thai Massage advantage!

Thai Massage has some unique advantages over other massage styles. One of them is that it is very therapist friendly. The average career span of therapists in USA or Canada is between 10-15 years. But on the contrary in Thailand there are skilled therapists still working in their 50's also.

Why is that?

Look at a western massage style like Swedish massage. The therapist is constantly using the hands to stroke, knead, or squeeze. This can get very tiring for the hands, and can even lead to injury which is one of the reasons why many massage therapists don’t last very long. 

Alternatives in Thai Massage

Thai Massage however does not have this problem for two reasons:

1.  You can use many body parts, like hands, forearms, elbows, knees and feet. This takes the pressure off the hands.

2. There are many stretches in the Thai Massage repertoire which don’t require much work from the hands.
