Massage courses

Massage is probably the oldest therapy known to man. It has been practiced in the Middle and Far East since at least 3000BC.

It became increasingly popular in Europe from the 1900’s onwards and since then therapeutic massage has grown into an art of creating and maintaining the best possible health. It aims to do this by relaxing, stimulating and invigorating mind and body.

Physically it is aimed at improving the blood, muscular and nervous systems and mentally it has a calming and soothing effect. You will cover many aspects of massage, covering virtually every inch of the body.

You will learn the safe, correct way to prepare and give massage. Touch is of vital importance to our well-being. It gives reassurance, warmth, pleasure, comfort and renewed energy.

Of all our senses, touch is the first to develop and it is primarily through tactile experience that we make sense of the world. It is a profound language and its benefits as both a remedial medium and a deeply relaxing one, have been recognised and used for thousands of years.

One day of practical training is essential. Full details available on request.
