Overview

Do you want to be able to give your clients longer lasting results?

Do you sometimes have to refer your clients to more experienced practitioners?

This Deep Tissue Massage day is a Qualification Course designed for Massage Therapists who want to enhance the treatments they provide to clients by adding these advanced techniques to their skill set, whilst maintaining their own professional well-being.

Deep Tissue is a highly effective technique that provides relief to clients who have soft tissue injuries within the deeper musculature. With sound knowledge of the soft tissues involved and targeted intentional techniques, the Therapist can completely release and mobilise areas of restriction. The lasting results achieved afford a higher level of client satisfaction and much less need to refer.

Many of the of the techniques are 'hands-free' thereby protecting the Therapist's hands which would otherwise be strained using these deeper applications.

This Course is also one of the days of our five-day Advanced Massage Techniques Qualification Course (AMT). When all five days have been completed we will award you with an Advanced Massage Qualification Certificate.

Course Content

Studies commence at 9.00 a.m. and finish at 5.30 p.m.

Techniques which utilise deep tissue affect the deeper layers of musculature and connective tissue. These techniques require a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology and a review of the muscular system is included in the Course-notes. The Client must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature.

Deep Tissue Massage helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation and related pain caused by conditions such as arthritis and tendinitis. The applications are generally integrated with other massage techniques enabling the therapist to address problems within the soft tissue that would otherwise have to be referred to a more experienced practitioner.

This course also addresses how to apply many Deep Tissue techniques using hand-free applications therefore enabling the Therapist to take better care of their joints by decreasing the pressure and strain that will naturally be incurred when working with several clients a day.

Deep Tissue Massage is easily adaptable to any part of the body and can easily fit into existing routines. It can provide clients with longer lasting results achieving a higher level of client satisfaction.

Please note: This Course is a post-graduate qualification course, during which the student is assessed for competence.
