Thai Foot Massage
This certified 18-hour Thai massage course teaches you how to massage feet using fingers, knuckles, and massage stick.
Course Description
This online Thai Foot Massage course teaches you how to confidently deliver a complete 60-minute Thai foot massage sequence in the supine position. The training emphasizes clear structure and smooth pacing, guiding you step by step from warm-up to finish. Drawing on the principles of Thai foot reflexology, you’ll use thumbs, fingers, knuckles, and a wooden massage stick to apply precise pressure, creating a deeply relaxing, full-body effect through the feet.
Course Summary
In addition to the practical sequence, the course delves into the full theory behind Thai Foot massage so you can understand why this approach is far more than just a standard foot rub. I teach Thai foot massage as a focused healing therapy that works specific reflex points and zones on the feet—reflecting the body as a whole, according to Traditional Thai Medicine. You’ll gain insight into the traditional treatment flow, including key elements like foot cleaning, warming and stretching, stick work, reflex point techniques, and finishing massage (which may extend to the lower legs). Practical adaptations for working with or without oil/cream are also covered, allowing you to tailor the experience to your style and setting.
This course emphasizes real learning over rote memorization, teaching the intent and rationale behind each technique. By placing the work within the broader framework of Thai healing traditions, you can make informed choices, troubleshoot effectively, and adapt sessions with confidence. The program includes video instruction, detailed text explanations for techniques and theory, and a digital workbook for easy reference while you practice. While the course doesn’t provide Thai massage certification, you’ll receive a digital certificate of completion to print and showcase your achievement.

Grant Martens
I am the owner and founder of Sirius Health, and I have the privilege of being both a Registered Instructor and an Advanced Registered Thai Therapist with the Thai Healing Alliance International (THAI). I am also licensed as a Thai Massage Practitioner under the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC).
My introduction to Thai massage took place in 2016 during a visit to the Gellért Bath and Spa in Budapest, whilst travelling across Europe with my family. The experience left a profound impression, inspiring me to pursue formal training in Thailand. In 2018, I undertook my initial courses at the Thai Massage School of Thailand (TMC) in Chiang Mai. Furthermore, I sought private sessions with Mr Nat at the Suppatra Blind Massage clinic during this journey.
In 2021, I returned to Chiang Mai to earn my CAPT certification at the International Training Massage School (ITM), complementing my studies with various short programmes at Ong’s Thai Massage School.
In 2025, I devoted another two months to advancing my skills in Thailand. I trained in Thai Face Lifting and Abdominal Massage at Sirichan Thai Massage Learning Centre, Chi Nei Tsang and Karsai Nei Tsang at Loi Kroh Massage and Ong’s Thai Massage School, and completed courses in Prenatal/Postnatal and Pregnancy Massage at Ong’s.
