NUAD BO-RARN

Nuad Bo-Rarn, or Ancient Thai Massage is a unique form of body therapy dating back to the time of the Buddha, and brought to Thailand and practised by the Buddhist monks of the time. In the north of Thailand, many temples still practice this therapy to treat the sick, in preference to Western medicine and drugs. Many other therapies have been extracted from this Ayurverdic whole,such as Reflexology, Swedish massage and Aromatherapy, and Shiatzu. Reason and results would suggest that the whole must be greater than its separate components.

COURSES

At Kata Institute of Thai Massage, we teach Traditional Northern Thai Medicinal Massage, to students from all over the world. Some are already practitioners in another field of physical therapy, while others are beginners taking their first step into the world of natural healing. Small numbers, and committed staff ensure that all students, whatever their level gain proficiency in their chosen courses in the shortest possible time. Courses range from a half day "introduction to Thai Massage", to a full professional training programme. Levels 1 to 4 cover all aspects of the massage in all positions, while 5 and 6 go on to advanced theory and specific therapeutic applications. Each level is a 15 hour tuition block, which may be completed in half or full days to allow for other holiday commitments.

KATA Spa

Kata Spa, where the school is based, is a Thai Herbal Spa and Massage centre. We are open seven days a week and therefore can afford our students the unprecedented opportunity to closely observe our professional masseuses at work. While gaining knowledge about natural aromatic oils, herbal saunas, aloe vera body and wild lime hair treatments etc.
