Course programme

This is our ‘flagship’ massage programme, fully accredited, and includes a very wide range of skills and techniques. The modular course structure allows you to add professional qualifications in each area without repetition or overlap, using your study time in the most efficient way.

  • Anatomy & Physiology
  • Swedish Body Massage
  • Pathophysiology
  • Practice Management
  • Introductory Counselling Skills - Level One

Subject-specific Modules:

Indian Head Massage
This popular therapy is used to alleviate stress and tension in the head, neck, face and shoulders and it is an ideal introduction for clients who do not want, or cannot receive, body massage. The skills learned in this module can be used alone or with other massage treatments.

Advanced Massage Techniques
Here you learn specialised techniques for the various systems and regions of the body and for alleviating symptoms of disorders such as MS and IBS. Whilst relaxation remains an essential part of the treatment, the application of therapeutic massage therapy includes advanced techniques like visceral massage and neuromuscular technique.

On-Site Massage
On-site massage is particularly well suited for using in the workplace and is a well-established stress management technique in commercial settings.

Option
It is possible to substitute the Indian Head Massage module with Chinese medicine and Oriental Holistic Massage.

Full-time study equates to three to four days per week and part time is anything from one day per week. Most courses can be studied in a flexible way.
