We’re taking a mini-vacation in Milwaukee (Waukesha is where we are staying, but will spend most of our time in Milwaukee) and we would like to find a nice place to get a good massage- perhaps Thai or shiatsu. Can anyone recommend someplace?

Hello all. I have a question.

I’m studying traditional Thai massage and medicine here in Thailand, which is ayurvedic in nature, and has nothing to do with western medicine (i.e.: USA and its schools).

My question is: is accreditation mandatory?

All of this talk of accreditation seems to be recent since I have known many people in the past who opened their own business (little more than a suitcase and a business card) as on call massage therapists and they made good money helping people.

My goal is to have a little clinic that I can help people through maybe 3 times a week, with weekends as volunteer work to help the elderly and disabled.

I do not see how studying for exams that relate to western ideals and principles, which I don’t really care for, can apply to ayurveda-based therapies. Is it possible to simply finish my school here and leagally open my little clinic without having to deal with all of this nonsense?

If accreditation is necessary, can I work first for myself while accruing the hours needed to meet accreditation/certification?

Thanks all!

Jade asked:


What book do you recommend for learning Thai massage? I’m not talking about Thai yoga which is for individual practice, nor the half-hour or full-hour massage. I mean Thai massage for relieving various ailments of another person. I was in a bookstore once in Bangkok and saw this book with full-color pictures showing you various positions for treating the subject. I think it was in Central World but it wasn’t there when I went back to purchase it. Does anyone know a book like this or maybe what I’m talking about? I looked around in Amazon and didn’t recognize any of the book covers there.

I’ve been to Wat Po Temple before. But I don’t know how to get to the school. Do I have to enter through the temple and pay an entrance fee every time? Is there just one school there? If I get off a fery boat to the temple, where do I go to find the school?

Oops, sorry but i meant 1000Baht !;)

Jade asked:


I’m a tourist in Bangkok, Thailand who wants to study Thai massage and Thai yoga during my stay here. What’s the cheapest way to get from Rama IX (Soi 3, near IT Mall) to Wat Poh and back?

Also, do I need a student visa to study at the Thai medicine center there? Do they speak English? How much does it cost and how long does it take to get a certification?

Thanks.
