Dr. Anthony James
If you want to learn something, learn from the best. If you want to learn authentic Thai massage, hands down the top recognized master outside of Thailand is Dr. Anthony James, CMT, ND, MDAM. His professional development and certification programs have set the standards in the U.S.
Dr. James’s life focus is Thai massage training. He is an amazing instructor who explains and demonstrates each technique so that you can easily grasp the concepts and repeat them.
Dr. James, the only western Master Instructor to be recognized by the Royal Thai government and recipient of the “Friend of Thailand” Award, has taught and certified over 6000 practitioners since 1984, including many well-known teachers established today.
He is the founder and Director of Education for The SomaVeda College of Natural Medicine and The Thai Yoga Center, home of the International Thai Therapists Association (ITTA), and host to the National Thai Yoga, Massage and Bodywork Certification Board (NTYMBCB) examinations. He is the Director of Education of ONACS, Oklevueha Native American Church of SomaVeda located in Plant City, Florida and is also the Director of Clinical Services, the Missionary Clinic and the Wellness Center. He has authored various publications, including the first Thai massage book in English. The list of Dr. James’ credentials goes on.
Dr. James is the featured expert in Aesthetic VideoSource’s four-part The Ultimate Thai Massage video and instructional DVD series that covers it all: basic and advanced techniques for the traditional mat, and basic and advanced techniques adapted for the “modern” massage table.
The four educational training titles are listed below:
The Ultimate Thai Massage Video: Basic Mat Techniques (1 Hr. 48 Mins.)
Advanced Mat Techniques (2 Hrs. 56 Mins.)
Basic Table Techniques (1 Hr. 28 Mins.)
Advanced Table Techniques (2 Hrs. 57 Mins.)
In each comprehensive online training video and DVD, Aachan (“Master”) James lays the foundation for a clear understanding of Thai massage and the spiritual roots and perspectives that have endured for thousands of years. Dr. James discusses benefits and contraindications, origins of Thai massage, different styles (the southern royal method, northern style, and Buddhai Sawan school), Ayurvedic anatomy (the primary Chakras and Sen lines), client assessment, and room set-up.
Dr. James walks you step-by-step through the therapeutic techniques comprising a complete Thai massage session. Throughout, he addresses balance vs. structural corrections; steps emulating energy flow; 10 key points for balance; working on attitudes (or posture positions), relationship, and transition; and, breath, emphasis, and pressure.
Beginning with Puja (affirmation), Dr. James demonstrates techniques in the traditional Five Attitudes/Postures: Supine, Side Lying, Prone, Abdomen and Leg Stretching, and Seated. In the Basic Thai massage (Mat and Table), he shows over 19 basic asanas or therapeutic postures; in the Advanced Thai massage (Mat and Table), he shows over 50 asanas. Techniques include gentle rocking; deep stretching; striking; kneading; pinching and rolling; pulling, rotations, and rhythmic compression with thumbs, palms, elbows, forearms, knees, and feet.
“I want to show you how to take on a productive application of healing science that’s been practiced for thousands of years and is completely appropriate and practical for the western world,” says Dr. James. “We can do this work in spas, hospitals, homes, anytime, anywhere.”
