Certificate in Advanced Massage - The Back

Certificate in Advanced Massage - The Back course
A course For Therapists
This one day advanced course is for ideal for students who want to be able to perform a more deep tissue and sports - type back massage. This will help therapists gain and retain more clients, as the movements that you learn are much more therapeutic, comprehensive and versatile than you will have learned in your preliminary Massage courses.
The course also suits the recently qualified therapist or the therapist returning to work as your tutor will not only instil confidence but inspire you to reach your full potential.
On successful completion of the course, students will be issued with the Certificate in Advanced Massage -The Back.
You will learn how to massage the back, neck and shoulders using advanced massage techniques and learn how to utilise your hands /forearms/elbows effectively to reduce the strain on your wrists and thumbs.
Class time on this course is spent learning and performing the massage techniques thoroughly and understanding how your client's anatomy relates and influences the massage. Andrea talks you through and demonstrates everything along the way. There are no lectures!
