RSM International Academy Chiang Mai integrates theoretical knowledge and practical skills through hands-on training to advance your expertise in massage therapy. 

In 2026, we will introduce updated programs emphasizing pain assessment, chronic pain management, and posture correction, featuring evidence-based training tailored for medical and professional settings.

🔶 For course registration, please contact us via WhatsApp or Line. To assist in selecting the most suitable program, our FAQ section offers detailed guidance.

Our three core courses operate on a weekly rotation. Each program is conducted over 5 days (Monday–Friday), from 10:00–12:00 and 13:00–15:00. Tuition fee: 12,000 THB per course.

🔶 Trigger Point Therapy Course
Beginners or intermediates are encouraged to begin with Trigger Point Therapy to develop their professional palpation skills for pain relief.

🔶 Deep Tissue Massage Course
Experienced individuals will find value in our Deep Tissue Massage course for postural correction. 

🔶 Myofascial Release Course with Stretching
Dynamic Myofascial Release is an advanced course. If you haven’t completed RSM’s Trigger Point or Deep Tissue Massage courses, or have less than one year of experience, participation is not allowed. This prevents impacting other students’ learning of theory and practical palpation skills.

Dr. Simone Ripamonti, former Physical Conditioning Trainer at Real Madrid FC (2009), and Hironori Ikeda of RSM International Academy have established a professional collaboration to deliver elite performance training and specialized programs for top professional massage therapists in Europe. These programs are planned to be held annually from late June to early July starting in 2027. Further details will be announced in due course.
