Subject-specific Modules:

Indian Head Massage

This popular therapy is used to alleviate stress and tension in the head, neck, face and shoulders and it is an ideal introduction for clients who do not want, or cannot receive, body massage. The skills learned in this module can be used alone or with other massage treatments.

Advanced Massage Techniques

Here you learn specialised techniques for the various systems and regions of the body and for alleviating symptoms of disorders such as MS and IBS. Whilst relaxation remains an essential part of the treatment, the application of therapeutic massage therapy includes advanced techniques like visceral massage and neuromuscular technique.

On-Site Massage

On-site massage is particularly well suited for using in the workplace and is a well-established stress management technique in commercial settings.

Option

It is possible to substitute the Indian Head Massage module with Chinese medicine and Oriental Holistic Massage.

The course requires 50 days of study, consisting of two days a week for three terms.
