Important Course Information

1) Educational Purpose Only

Sirius Health provides this online course (including all videos, live sessions, manuals, PDFs, demonstrations, meditations, and any downloadable materials) for educational and informational purposes only. The purpose of this course is to help you develop skills in traditional Thai massage (Nuad Boran) and related Thai healing practices, serving as a valuable complement to supervised, hands-on training.

This course does not establish a practitioner-client relationship, therapist-patient relationship, or any other regulated clinical connection. It is not a replacement for formal, supervised, in-person instruction.

2) Online Learning Limitations and Hands-On Training Expectations

Thai massage is a hands-on practice that involves body mechanics, positioning, leverage, pressure, and joint movement. Learning online comes with clear limitations: your instructor can't physically correct your positioning, confirm the right pressure, or step in to guide you in real time like they would in person.

For safety and skill development, it's essential to seek in-person training, mentorship, and supervised practice, especially before working professionally or with clients with complex health needs.

3) Not Medical Advice or For Diagnosis or Treatment

The intent of this course content is not medical advice and is not to diagnose, treat, cure, prescribe remedies for, or prevent any disease, injury, or health condition.

If you (or the person you practice with) have any medical concerns, such as acute pain, unexplained symptoms, recent injury, neurological issues, cardiovascular conditions, pregnancy, osteoporosis, risk of blood clots, cancer-related needs, post-surgical restrictions, or any situation requiring medical oversight, consult a qualified, licensed healthcare professional before engaging in practice. Prioritizing safety and expert guidance is always essential.

4) Safety, Consent, and Contraindications

By participating, you agree to act responsibly and prioritize safety:

Informed Consent: Always obtain clear, voluntary consent before any hands-on practice.
Screening: Ask about relevant health history and current symptoms before practice sessions.
Stop Immediately If Needed: Discontinue any technique that causes sharp pain, numbness/tingling, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, emotional distress, or any "something isn't right" signal.
Scope and Modifications: Use conservative pressure and appropriate modifications. Avoid advanced techniques (including deeper stretching, strong compression, and joint mobilization) unless you have appropriate supervised training and the receiver is a suitable candidate.
Minors and Vulnerable Persons: Do not practice on minors or vulnerable persons without appropriate legal consent, suitable safeguarding, and (where required) professional authorization.

5) Professional Conduct and Ethical Expectations

Sirius Health expects students to uphold professional standards that safeguard clients, practice partners, and the integrity of Thai healing arts, including:

Respecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information shared during practice sessions.
Maintaining clear boundaries and fostering a safe learning environment.
Accurately representing your training level and experience; never claiming skills you haven't achieved.
Avoiding any behaviour that could compromise safety, dignity, or trust.

6) Legal and Regulatory Compliance (Canada + International)

This online course is not a certification program. Completing this course does not qualify as proof of professional certification, licensure, or authorization to practice Thai massage (Nuad Boran) or any regulated health profession in the United States, Canada, or any other country.

Massage therapy and bodywork practices are regulated differently across regions. In Canada, for example, regulations vary by province or territory. Some areas have specific rules for professional practice that restrict certain techniques and/or protect the use of professional titles. This course is recognized by the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC) for continuing education or competency credits through its Continued Competency Program (CCP). However, it is your responsibility to understand and follow the rules and requirements applicable to your location, including (if relevant):

Licensing or registration regulations
Protected-title restrictions (e.g., terms like "Massage Therapist," "Registered Massage Therapist," "RMT/MT," or similar)
Insurance policies (such as professional liability, student coverage, or practitioner coverage)
Guidelines for consumer protection, advertising, and marketing
Workplace health and safety standards
Recordkeeping and privacy laws

Completing this online course alone does not grant you permission to practice, teach, or use any protected professional title in any region. It also does not ensure eligibility for insurance coverage or recognition by professional associations.

7) THAI and Nuad Boran Thai Association Europe Alignment and Recognition

Sirius Health designed this course to align with widely recognized standards within the Thai massage community, emphasizing safe learning and ethical practice.

Thai Healing Alliance International (THAI): THAI emphasizes hands-on training and ethical conduct. If you're aiming for THAI recognition or membership, be aware that their requirements typically prioritize in-person education and may limit the number of hours you can complete through online learning.
Nuad Boran Thai Association Europe: This organization uses its own standards for training, recognition, and quality. If you want recognition from this association, check with them directly to confirm how they assess training hours, evaluations, and course format.

Unless Sirius Health provides explicit written confirmation, this course should not be considered an accredited or association-approved pathway with THAI, Nuad Boran Thai Association Europe, or any regulatory body. Verify credentialing requirements directly with the relevant organizations.

8) Assumption of Risk and Limitation of Liability

Thai massage practice and movement-based bodywork carry certain risks, including strain, sprains, worsening of pre-existing conditions, bruising, dizziness, and other unwanted effects, particularly if techniques are performed incorrectly or without proper preparation and guidance.

By enrolling in or accessing this course, you confirm that your participation is voluntary and that you take full responsibility for how you use the course materials, as well as for any outcomes resulting from your practice or application of the techniques.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Sirius Health Thai Massage, including its owners, instructors, staff, and agents, is not liable for any loss, injury, unwanted outcome, or damages arising from the use or misuse of the course content, whether practiced on yourself or others.

9) Not Legal Advice

This information is provided to offer general guidance and is not a substitute for legal advice. If you're unsure about your legal rights, the titles you can use, or the regulations in your area, it's important to consult the relevant regulatory authority or a qualified legal professional in your jurisdiction or elsewhere.
