Sports Massage Course
With my kids getting older, I reached a point where I couldn’t ignore our household finances anymore. Watching our savings slowly dwindle while the cost of living climbed was terrifying. I looked at my old skills in design and office work and realized that in the age of AI, those paths are closing fast. I didn’t have years to spend on a new degree, and I knew that a basic "relaxation" massage certificate wouldn't provide the financial security my family needs. I needed a high-level, clinical skill that produces immediate results—something AI can never replace.
That’s what brought me to RSM International Academy in Chiang Mai. I wasn’t there for a vacation; I was there to gain a career. In an intensive three-week window, I pushed myself through a professional curriculum that most people take years to learn. I mastered Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage, and Deep Tissue, culminating in the Dynamic Myofascial Release and Sports Medicine Massage Course.
The training is built on clinical palpation—learning to use your hands as diagnostic tools. Instead of just following a routine, I learned the functional anatomy and biomechanics needed to actually solve a client’s pain. We dove into complex issues like sciatic nerve entrapment, Lower Crossed Syndrome, and nerve-related pain patterns. For someone like me who needs to start earning a real income quickly, this kind of evidence-based manual therapy is exactly what sets a professional apart from a hobbyist.
A major reason I chose this school was the chance to learn from Hironori Ikeda (MSc Sports Medicine). He brings a rare level of academic prestige and elite clinical authority; he earned his Master’s at the University of Tsukuba—ranked #1 in Asia for sports science—an institution famous for its rigorous standards. His expertise is globally recognized, having been invited to train senior therapy teams at world-renowned five-star wellness resorts like Chiva-Som and having optimized the conditioning for elite professional athletes, ranging from Spanish basketball players to top fighters in Croatia.
Beyond the clinic, his scientific authority is backed by his work on the Japan Industrial Standards (JIS) committee for human ergonomics and his development of patented technology with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). He even bridges the gap between theory and reality by coordinating cadaver anatomy labs with Chiang Mai University’s Faculty of Medicine to ensure every skill is grounded in anatomical truth.
The pace was grueling. I spent two to three hours every single night studying anatomy just to keep up. But that focus paid off. Since returning home, I’ve been able to step into the workforce with total confidence. I’m no longer just "looking for a job"; I have a specialized clinical skill that allows me to provide for my family and deliver real relief to my clients. Every module is built on evidence-based methodologies, including his scientifically validated Balance Ball Yoga system which was proven effective in clinical research at the University of Cagliari. If you feel like your back is against the wall and you need a way to build a professional future fast, RSM is the place to do it.
