SEATED THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Chair massage doesn't have to be carried out through the clothes! Some clients prefer the feel of a massage directly on the skin with oils or cream and for the practitioner it opens up a whole new way of working with the chair and allows you to incorporate table massage type techniques.
This course covers issues such as room set-up and client management, as well as introducing a complete set of Therapeutic Massage techniques for the chair. A fantastic alternative to the acupressure which is also very popular within both the Private and Corporate sectors.
Eligibility
Anyone with a recognised qualification in OSM is eligible to participate on the course.
