Massage Techniques for Beginners — Part-time

Course outline

Have you always wished that you could treat your friends and family to a well-earned massage after a hard day at work or a difficult week?

Most of the sessions will be practical, and by the end of the course, you will be able to safely carry out a seated massage routine of the head, neck and shoulders on your friends and family.

  • How to give a simple massage routine
  • The benefits and therapeutic effects of massage
  • When not to massage
  • Simple anatomy of the relevant areas
  • Relaxation techniques

Please note that this course will not qualify you to become a professional therapist or to practice on the public.
