With an increase in demand for massage therapy and a growing spa industry, therapists need to look after their hands and bodies to ensure a long and healthy career.
Our hands free massage masterclass gives you the tools and knowledge to do that. Over the years I’ve noticed that therapists have either forgotten their massage postures or were never taught posture during their basic training. We will get you back to those basics, that serve as the source and foundation for all good therapists. We delve into the anatomy, stance and flow and why all these play an important role in the giving of the massage therapy. Through this we take the emphasis off the arms and shoulders and take it into the legs and back, then we learn to take the hands out of the treatment (well, 80% out of the treatment).
Learning to massage with fluidity, forearms and elbows, using different techniques, making it more mindful, brings a whole new experience of massage both to you and the client. If you want to come to class with an open mind, co-design a full massage experience, collaborate with colleagues and contribute to developing this wonderful industry, then the AcademyCP masterclass is for you.
We will look at posture, movement and flow and how it impacts the massage. Taking the hands out of the treatment leaves you free to move better, go deeper, stretch and manipulate with much greater ease. We will be rocking and swaying with grace. Clients love it and the results are amazing.
[This is a masterclass – so it’s for professional therapists with a nationally recognised UK massage qualification. So please, please, please study to diploma level if you are offering massage therapy, be safe and contribute to maintaining and raising our high standards. We offer a massage therapy diploma as do many other colleges and training providers who believe in high standards. Typically,105 hours class time plus 370 hours additional study, if you have completed a course less than this, then it is not a nationally recognised qualification and you cannot call yourself a qualified therapist. Call us or email and let’s raise standards.]
