mikey88 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Does anybody have any info on massage or physical therapists who are actually trained in some way.... Not dispariging any of the many fine Thai massagers...but I'm looking for a Thai who may have some training in physio or osteo etc... I'm not interested in a Farang at 3000 an hour....but if there were a Thai therapist...I'd be very much interested... Thanks for any help... Cheers...

mesquite Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) They're all trained. The Thai girls/guys in the massage shops all learned from an instructor. They all have licenses. For something else, I'd contact RAM or one of the other hospitals. Maybe you mean a Physical Therapist as opposed to a massage therapist? The cost of a PT through RAM is going to be more than 200 THB per hour, though. Are you looking for physical therapy at massage therapy prices?

Beetlejuice Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I think the Old Medicine Hospital is what you want. Website: http://www.thaimassageschool.ac.th/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narkeddiver Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 All the masseuses my wife has found for me have either been able to fix various muscle issues or been professional enough to send me to a hospital when they haven't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingTourist Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 They're all trained. The Thai girls/guys in the massage shops all learned from an instructor. They all have licenses. If by license you mean a diploma, then that is not true. I have spoken to many that had no formal training. Some places will hire girls with no experience and tell them to learn from the other girls, other places do have an instructor that will spend some time teaching them, only the better places require the girls to attend a real course. Though even those who have attended a course are not always good massage therapists, as they’ll basically just spend 30 hours learning a massage routine with no theory being taught. If the OP is interested in a skilled massage therapist then PM me and I can recommend you one that I think is among the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingTourist Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Why PM? I am not sure she want me to post her contact details here. Also, as I know the girl, it could be considered spamming, per forum rules: Thaivisa.com considers any method of actively, or passively promoting a commercial entity, that you have an interest in, including websites or personal blogs, and is not a sponsor, as spamming.

Iamemjay Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Physical therapists are readily available, usually attached to hospitals or doctors clinics. Just ask your doctor. I would not qhhowever quickly dismiss the therapeutic skills of the EXPERIENCED Thai massage person. I personally have witnessed absolute miracles being worked with stroke victims where physical therapy had had little observable benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year when I was being treated for my knee problem she told me she was off to China to do a 2 week massage course. I know that as a young lady she learned Massage.
