Complete Massage Diploma

Ideal for complete beginners or those beauty therapists looking to expand their skill set and services. Study the techniques and theory for Body Massage, Bamboo Massage, Indian Head Massage, and Hot Stone Massage. Body massage therapy is a massage that is soothing, relaxing, or stimulating for both the body and mind. Manipulation of the superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue are initiated to aid in the healing process and promote relaxation and well-being.   Meanwhile, warm bamboo massage involves using heated bamboo rods of various sizes to knead and roll out knots and relax tense muscles. It is hugely popular in Europe, Asia, and the USA. It combines the traditional benefits of massage with the comforting synergy of heated wooden rods and is the perfect massage to counter the effects of stress, tension, and lack of rest.  You will be able to perform a warm bamboo massage using wonderful deep tissue techniques effectively and safely upon successful completion of this course. Indian head massage is a relaxing holistic treatment that uses acupressure massage on the head, face, neck, and shoulders. It aims to rebalance your body's energies and is a brilliant treatment for all holistic therapists to offer to their clients.  You will learn about chakras and auras, understand the procedure of the Indian head massage, and gain knowledge of the necessary aftercare.  Hot stone massage therapy promotes deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body.  Our Hot Stone Massage diploma teaches some of the most amazing techniques in the industry allowing the opportunity to offer Hot Stone Massage services to new and existing clients.  As a very popular therapy, our course teaches you the massage techniques required to provide this specialist massage which uses smooth heated stones.   You will learn the routine and method of hot stone massage, understand the stones used for the therapy and study the spiritual effects of the massage.   Learn how to recognise your client's needs and treat them appropriately, adapting the techniques to suit them. Once you have successfully completed the course, you will receive an accredited diploma from ABT and IPHM.  You are also eligible to apply for professional insurance.
