Massage – Introduction
Introduction to Holistic Massage Certificate Course
One day course £120
Holistic (also known as Swedish) Massage involves the manipulation of the body’s soft tissue (i.e. the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments) using the hands in a gentle, flowing massage technique that uses varying degrees of pressure and stretching movements. It is most commonly used for relaxation, improving well-being and lymphatic drainage.
This course is a Holistic Massage taster, and is designed for anyone from complete novices to professional therapists.
It is perfect for those who want to learn about the therapy and how to perform the basic movements and sequence without having to commit to a fully accredited qualification.
This course is the ideal springboard should you wish to go on to study Swedish or Holistic full body massage.
By the end of this fun and informal day you will be able to perform a confident and effective basic massage routine on your partner, family and friends, and you will be awarded a London Therapists Certificate of Attendance.
