Massage practitioners can find themselves developing strains in their hands through their work, particularly if they regularly apply firm pressure. The most common problems arise in the thumbs and the wrist. This sometimes builds up into constant pain, and can even lead to early retirement and problems in other areas of life.

This workshop addresses these problems by focusing on how you use your hands in massage sessions. It will alert you to the common causes of straining the hands in massage, and offers effective alternatives to reduce these strains.

This course is suitable for all qualified massage therapists who are experiencing symptoms of strain in their hands or wrists during or after massage.
