Massage therapy is a unique way to help others, by channeling positive energy to those who seek the peaceful pleasure of a relaxing massage. Lha has provided hands-on experience for its students, under the supervision of professional trainers. They encouraged Tibetan students to learn many forms of massage therapy. Once the educational foundation of massage therapy is established, students will see how much easier it is to learn new techniques.

Lha massage therapy course were started in 2006. Initially it was founded as a means of generating some income for the organization when Lha was constrained financially. Since then Lha has organized many massage therapy courses in response to the huge unemployment problem in the Tibetan refugee community. Massage courses are conducted by professionally trained therapists, both Tibetan and international.

Lha has offered sixteen massage therapy courses so far, each with seven to nine students, and offered a certificate of completion at the end of each course. Lha maintains working relationships with massage colleges and training institutions both nationally and internationally, for example, the Boulder Colorado Massage College in the US. In September 2009, ten professionally trained massage therapy instructors trained 30 Lha students and provided all the equipment for the training sessions from the US. So far, the course has benefited 169 individuals who wish to work as massage therapists. In a small way, this has helped to reduce unemployment in the community. Most of Lha’s trained message therapy students are working in different countries and they are now comparatively well settled.
