Question:
Morning All
I'm thinking of doing a course in Thai Foot Massage (yes, you've guessed, New Year, new qualification!!). I have had a look at a few websites but thought I'd ask you guys here on HP first. Luckily there seem to be some good courses here in the South East. I will probably look into this as well at Wat Po when I go back to Thailand on hols but that won't be until either end of this year/ beginning of next and I'm not sure if a Wat Po course is recognised here in UK.
Do you know if it can be added to my FHT insurance?
Many thanks y'all:)

Hi,
I did mine with The London School of Thai Massage, it was excellent I also did full thai body massage with them.
Simon the tutor did train in Thailand himself.

Thanks Lisa
I had a look at their website and it look good plus it's not too far from home. Were you able to get insurance on this course? and do you know if it's recognised by FHT?
Thanks

thai foot massage is a simple treatment which shouldn't last more than 30 min.
It can be learned within a day - I am surprised that in London they charge over 100 pounds for that course.
I would advice you to do it rather in Thailand and not necesserily in Wat Pho (the class might be large). All small thai massage clinics do teach on one to one basis and you can choose how many hours per day you want to learn and what time to start. Majority of them will give you a certificate - I don't think FHT would refuse to insure this simple treatment.
Hi,
no,the course wasn't cheap but the tutor and manuals were excellent,
I guess there are always differing prices with every course, look at Reiki for example. I guess you just have to study with which ever tutor you feel is right for you, taking into consideration experience,location and your own budget.I was happy to pay the price as I was delighted with the quality of the course, that's not to say I wouldn't have been with another cheaper one, but I certainly didn't feel it had been over priced.
A full treatment actually lasts a good hour infact in the case of the treatment we do, can be shortened, but then we do charge more for it than a reflexology session as it does take longer!
Don't know about FHT, as I'm insured for all of my therapies through the AOR, but its fine with them.
Hope you find a good course, its a great treatment to do, as is the full massage ( But at at least 2 hours long it does take some energy!!! LOL)

Thanks LM and Lisa for your help.
In actual fact there is very little in the price of learning here or in Bangkok - the cost there works out at about £70-80! My husband's aunt (Thai) used to teach at Wat Po and was a very respected teacher - unfortunately she has long retired, otherwise I would have called upon her expertise.
Thanks again

I too have done a Thai Foot Massage course, although not with the school mentioned above.
I agree with Londonmasssage - a simple treatment that is not worth the money charged for the courses. I wasnt impressed personally. The FHT however, wont insure you for it unless you have a full body massage qualification. I dont know if thats for all Thai Foot courses though.
Hi,
its a shame that you felt it wasn't worth the money that's charged for the courses, makes me wonder what differences there are in the courses????
would be interesting to know. I find my clients love it as a therapy, espcially the fact it works the energy (sen) lines in the legs and the nurturing feel of the wrapping of the legs and working through the wraps.
It tends to be something people treat themselves to, where as my reflexology clients tend to be more a course of treaments.... just my findings.
