ANATOMY IN MOTION & OSTEOPATHY for Thai Massage Practitioners

8 to 12 & 15 to 19 February 2027, with Thierry Bienfaisant

Every human being is seeking balance and health.

When the body is imbalanced or unhealthy, mobility and vitality are affected. To restore balance, we first need to release blockages, stagnations, and possible inflammations by bringing movement into the body, while respecting the physiological and anatomical laws of the human body.

By applying the principles of osteopathy and anatomy, together with Thai Yoga Massage, we create a dialogue with the tissues, and doorways open into the structural, emotional, and energetic body.

8 to 12 February & 15 to 19 February 2027

These two fundamental courses in the field of Thai massage are open to all levels and backgrounds in Thai massage, regardless of your previous schools, styles, or teachers.

The aim of these courses, is to enjoy and learn this incredible knowledge, diving deeper into Thai massage while following and respecting the rules of the human body.

During these courses:

We will bridge the foundations of osteopathy with applied anatomy to clarify and refine our Thai massage techniques, exploring the essential key structures of the musculoskeletal system with their innervation and vascularization.

These exceptional courses develop a deeper and clearer dialogue with the tissues, considering the three dimensions of the body:

Physical Emotional Energetic

At the end of these courses, perception and palpation skills will have expanded, and anatomy will have become the entry key to visualize a clear 3D holographic picture of the body, giving orientation and precision to our practice.

The ANATHAI courses are divided into 2 separate weeks:

WEEK 1: THE CENTRAL AXIS – SPINE & PELVIS

WEEK 2: THE EXTREMITIES – LOWER & UPPER LIMBS

We will apply the same principles to the extremities: Lower limbs:Foot anatomy (bones, ligaments, main joints, innervation and vascularization), tibia, fibula, femur, hip joint, knee joint, sacroiliac review) Upper limbs: Hand anatomy, ulna, radius, humerus, shoulder joint, essential musculoskeletal structures. Focus will be placed on developing a mindful dialogue with the tissues, learning to feel, evaluate, and improve mobility, vitality and flow of ki.

Ultimately, we will discuss how to organize a Thai massage session to adapt to the needs of the receiver by clarifying a structure of preparation, action, and integration.
