Professional Training in Seated Acupressure Massage

Client receiving Seated Acupressure Massage from Pauline Baxter

Seated Acupressure/On Site Massage involves the practitioner working through clothes, with the client sitting on an ergonomically designed chair. No oil and no fuss make this one of the most portable and effective forms of massage.

By working on common areas of tension in the back, neck and shoulders, it helps the body become more balanced, leaving the client feeling refreshed and invigorated. Ideal for the stresses of modern life!

AOSM

As a major trainer for over 25 years, AOSM has been a provider of one of the most thorough, and highly sought after, Diplomas in Seated Acupressure Massage (SAM) within the complementary therapy industry.

The focus of this training has always been predominantly practical; 'Massage is a 'hands-on' therapy after all'. But it is vital that practitioners understand the importance of providing safe and effective massage by understanding:

• the what, how, and why of health questionnaires for the client
• how to use the information gathered
• adapting the massage for an individual
• applying massage techniques effectively, efficiently and safely
• working within the corporate environment

The recent increase in short, online-only training courses that offer a 'qualification' that allows the practitioner to work on the public, is not ideal for hands-on therapies!

An absence of in-person practical guidance can lead to problems for both the client and the practitioner as the massage may be uncomfortable to receive, and incorrect technique application may lead to injury for the practitioner.

To help redress this, we offer bespoke training solutions for practitioners of Seated Acupressure
