About this course

Most of the day will be spent on achieving a practical routine which can be adapted for one's use on friends, family and oneself. The routine will be broken down into a series of formations which will provide a comprehensive understanding of how you can include massage very easily into your day to day life style. This course is very popular and we only take up to 4 - 6 people (depending on venue) so early booking is advised. There will be general information on History and Theory as there is so much that can be fitted into the workshop. The manual will include information for further study and a list of Reference books for anyone who wants to further their interest/ knowledge.

We find that many people attend this workshop who are thinking of getting into massage as a career too, perhaps you are not sure if massage is for you and you want to make sure before you invest money into longer training. This workshop is ideal for you! It will give you a full day to find out all there is about massage for the full body (the main parts that hold tension and stress - working on the full body does not mean every single part will be massaged as in a days workshops you will not have the time to cover all areas however the main ones will be focused on) and even get to learn a routine to use with family and friends and often afterwards many decide to take their training further. If however you wish to just attend to use it for only personal use this workshop is perfect, most are surprised how much they learn in one day and how enjoyable it is.

Anyone over the age of 16 may attend this one day diploma workshop No written exam – just a practical assessment whilst you work during the day If you choose to attend a workshop rather than an accredited diploma course please be aware this is for use with family and friends only. You will receive an attendance certificate but this does not cover you by insurance, if you wish to work with the general public you will need to consider a diploma course rather than a workshop.

You will receive a certificate of attendance

Holistic Body Massage Introduction/Refresher Workshop - Course Structure

This workshop is ideal for those of you new to massage & wish to use massage with family and friends, it is also a good reminder for those of you who have completed a massage course in the past and would like a refresher.

The term "Holistic Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. The main purpose of Holistic massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.

Holistic massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Holistic Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses.

The Holistic Massage Techniques you’ll Learn During this Workshop Include Effleurage, Petrissage, and Tapotement (or percussion)
  • Effleurage: Gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs and/or fingertips
  • Petrissage: Kneading movements with the hands, thumbs and/or fingers
  • Tapotement: Hacking and Cupping

Holistic massage feels good and is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being.

The Topics which are Covered in this Holistic Massage Workshop are
  • The benefits of Holistic Massage
  • Partial and total contraindications
  • Massage mediums
  • Classification of massage movements
  • Basic massage techniques and sequence
  • Massage aftercare

All students will have the techniques demonstrated to them, and each will both give and receive the massage. There is a maximum class size of four, ensuring one-to-one attention at all times. Comprehensive notes for students to take home are included in the workshop price, and each will receive a certificate of attendance signed by the tutor.

This is another of our very popular workshops and there are limited number of places available, it is advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
