Introduction to Massage Techniques

Prerequisites: None

This course is an introduction to massage for individuals looking to either provide massage to family or friends or for those wishing to further train to develop these skills into a career.

Day 1 of the workshop will cover the history, effects and benefits of massage, consultation taking techniques, contraindications, contra-actions, after care advice and the importance of correct posture. Students will be able to provide a nice relaxing back massage at the end of the day.

On day 2 of the workshop, students will learn more techniques and further develop their massage skills. Students will have ample time to practise the massage routine, as they will work on each other to both give and receive massages, allowing them not only to practise the techniques, but also experience the benefits of massage. By the end of this day they will be able to give a full body massage.

Course notes, refreshments will be provided, a certificate of completion will be provided at the end of the workshop.
