CEU Contact Hours: 17.00

Tuition: $450.00 (50 percent deposit required at registration)

This course focuses on specific applications of Clinical Thai Bodywork, a modality developed by Chuck Duff that blends the techniques of Thai yoga massage with acupoint and trigger point systems and a structural analysis of body function. CTB is highly effective in reducing or eliminating patterns of pain and restriction, often in cases that have failed conventional medical treatment. CTB gives the student specific tools to assess and design effective treatments for the most common client complaints and can be integrated into a mat, chair or table-based practice.

Clinical Thai Bodywork was designed to bridge the gulf between traditional Thai approaches and modern western clinical environments. The framework of CTB constitutes one of the most efficient and effective approaches available for orthopedic rehab, relief of chronic and acute pain, recovery from injury, and correction of myofascially derived dysfunction.

This course covers specific, detailed Clinical Thai Bodywork treatments for thoracic, chest and abdominal pain. It is recommended that the student attend CTB1 prior to attending this course, but not a requirement. We will present the fundamental principles of CTB in an accelerated way, so students who have not attended CTB1 may attend this course. Students must have prior to attending a solid grasp of muscular anatomy and/or AP1 credit as well as Level 1 Thai Massage; Level 2 Thai Massage is recommended. It is recommended that in preparation, students read either Travell and Simons' Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction, Volume 1 relating to these pain areas, or equivalent sections in Claire Davies' Trigger Point Workbook.
