RSM International Academy, in collaboration with Chiang Mai University’s Faculty of Medicine, Anatomy Laboratory, will offer a specialized Professional Massage Course from October 26 to November 2, 2024.

This 4-day, 6-day, or 8-day course is tailored for massage therapists and those looking to advance their skills in areas such as sports medicine-based trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, and dynamic myofascial release. The program focuses on pain relief and posture correction, providing hands-on experience to help participants effectively address client needs.

The course integrates techniques like Trigger Point Therapy, joint mobilization (HVLA and LVLA), and Dynamic Myofascial Release, all aimed at reducing myofascial pain, improving joint mobility, and optimizing postural stability. It also covers functional anatomy and kinetic chain assessment, equipping therapists with the knowledge to deliver precise, tailored treatments for various musculoskeletal conditions.

Participants can choose from intensive 4, 6, or 8-day programs, all of which include cadaver-based palpation sessions led by professors and doctors from Chiang Mai University. This hands-on training allows participants to acquire advanced skills and elevate their professional expertise. They will gain a deeper understanding of anatomical structures and valuable experience to enhance the palpation techniques essential for real-world clinical massage practice.

This exclusive course offers a wide range of skills to address issues in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and elderly care, including nerve entrapment, fascial adhesions, and myofascial glide dysfunction. It provides comprehensive techniques that can cater to elite athletes as well as the elderly, equipping participants with the expertise to serve diverse patient populations.

The 2-Day Intensive Trigger Point Therapy course at RSM focuses on mastering palpation techniques for effective pain relief. Building on a foundation of functional anatomy, this course skips basic explanations to deliver advanced training. Utilizing real cadaver images, participants will learn from sports medicine massage expert Hironori Ikeda to accurately assess and treat both active and latent trigger points. The course offers hands-on experience in advanced palpation skills, far surpassing what can be learned through illustrations or apps alone.

🔸Date: 26 (Sat)-27( Sun ) Oct  2024  
🔸Schedule :10:00 to 12:00 / 13:00 to 15:00  / 15:30 to 17:30

This special 2-day intensive Deep Tissue Massage course bypasses the basic functional anatomy usually taught at RSM and focuses on practical training that emphasizes the release of deep muscular tension crucial for posture correction.

Participants will learn to assess spinal alignment related to hip and pelvic movement, Upper Cross Syndrome, and Lower Cross Syndrome, and apply effective deep tissue massage techniques based on these evaluations. Additionally, HVLA and LVLA spinal mobilization techniques are taught to address deeper muscles and promote posture improvement. Beginners can also benefit from advance preparation or private lessons for deeper learning.


🔸Date: 28 (Mon)-29( Tue ) Oct  2024  
🔸Schedule :10:00 to 12:00 / 13:00 to 15:00  / 15:30 to 17:30

Improving joint mobility for dynamic postural stability requires Dynamic Myofascial Release (DMR). DMR, when combined with pre-stretch and multi-layered stretching techniques, enhances the glide of the joint capsule, fascia, and muscles, expanding range of motion. It also evaluates and corrects fascial distortions and nerve glide dysfunctions.

The DMR course at RSM International Academy integrates Trigger Point Therapy and Deep Tissue Massage to identify the causes of limited joint mobility, and to realign muscles and posture. Additionally, participants will deepen their understanding of single and multi-joint muscles and deep fascial structures while learning Active Tissue Release techniques to reduce pain and improve range of motion.

These techniques are effective for pain relief, postural improvement, rehabilitation, and improving movement in the elderly. Hands-on training with anatomical visuals and skeletal models ensures precise mastery of massage techniques.

🔸Schedule :10:00 to 12:00 / 13:00 to 15:00  / 15:30 to 17:30
