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

In 2025, 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.

We rotate through three main courses weekly.

🔶 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.
