Table Thai Massage is a practical, hands-on training course for qualified massage therapists who want to learn how to safely apply Thai Yoga Massage techniques on a massage table. This Table Thai Massage course introduces students to the origins, principles and practical application of Thai-style assisted stretching, acupressure and rhythmic compression without the need to work on the floor.
The course combines theory with practical application, covering client preparation, contraindications, safe body mechanics and a structured Thai massage routine performed on a massage couch. Students will learn how to use body weight, stretching and pressure techniques to support flexibility, mobility, relaxation and overall wellbeing.
Important note: Traditional Table Thai Massage is performed fully clothed to protect the client’s skin and allow safe assisted stretching. If Table Thai techniques are combined with oil massage, careful draping must always be used to preserve the client’s modesty, dignity and comfort.

Table Thai Massage (also called Thai Table Massage) is an adaptation of traditional Thai massage techniques, such as acupressure-style compressions and assisted stretching. Table Thai is performed on a massage table rather than on a floor mat. It’s a practical way to deliver Thai-inspired bodywork in a clinic/spa setting and can be ideal for clients who prefer a table-based treatment.
At the London School of Massage, the Table Thai Massage course is a 1-day intensive course and on successful completion you can use the title “Table Thai Massage Therapist.” The course is open to therapists with a Level 3 RQF massage qualification (or higher).
The Table Thai Massage qualification at the London School of Massage is recognised by major insurers, with practitioner insurance available on completion.
The main differences between a Table Thai Massage and a Thai Massage are:
Table Thai Massage benefits include deep relaxation, reduced muscle tension, and improved flexibility and mobilitythanks to Thai-style compressions, acupressure and assisted stretching—adapted to be delivered comfortably on a massage table. Many clients also report feeling lighter, looser and more energised, as the techniques can help increase blood and oxygen delivery to treated areas.
