Wellness massage
The teaching consists primarily of practical instruction and will therefore spend most of the time on the couch.
In addition to wellness massage, we will discuss what massage is and what it can do. What impact does the nervous system, breathing, diet and exercise have on our body. We also cover tactile massage, what does touch mean and how can we approach it in different ways.
Ergonomics is important, so you will learn correct working positions at the couch so that you get good habits from the start and take care of your body when you treat others.
We will focus on you as a massage practitioner – both the communication and the communication that comes with being in contact with another human being. With the right techniques, you can effectively make a positive and meaningful difference to the person on the couch.
Note if you are a trained massage therapist from AM Academy or equivalent education, you can get credit for this part.
