COURSE OVERVIEW How to Massage on a BedWe also provide a 20-minute simple massage performed on a bed. This is a perfect stepping stone for beginners to master some basic techniques before moving on to a professional style Swedish or Hawaiian massage.Swedish Full-Body Massage ( 55-minute tutorial )

This massage style is known in Sweden and throughout most of the world as ‘classic massage’; only the Dutch and English speaking  countries refer to it as ‘Swedish’. True to its classical name, it is  generally the most well-known massage in the Western world. The  treatment helps to promote the many general benefits of massage. For  example, circulation is enhanced while muscular tension is reduced and  knots are removed. 

This full-body massage is soft and relaxing and employs a little deep  tissue work. It is an ideal lesson through which to master the basics of  massaging with oil. Once comfortable with these basics, the techniques  of many other massages can be attempted with confidence. 

Effleurage, petrissage, friction and percussive strokes are demonstrated.  Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage ( 67-minute tutorial) For many centuries, the healing knowledge of lomilomi has been kept  secret by shamans known as ‘kahunas’. However, in recent years, these  shamans have decided to break their silence and openly share their  wisdom, and Hawaiian massage has rapidly become popular worldwide.

The motions of this Hawaiian lomilomi massage take inspiration from  the four elements: water, fire, air and earth. Lomilomi is famous for  graceful whole-body strokes that seek to reflect the waves of the ocean  washing over the receiver. To receive one is extremely relaxing,  pleasurable and therapeutic, and it can simultaneously be a mesmerizing  and meditative experience to give one.Hot Stone Massage ( 45-minute tutorial )

Hot stone massage is not a stand-alone collection of techniques but rather an addition to other styles of treatment. This addition helps make the experience more satisfying for the receiver because the heat is soothing and thoroughly warms up the muscles, allowing more effective deep work.Stones can be incorporated into any oil-based massage. This lesson focuses on the principles of good practice rather than attempting to teach specific movements. This will enable you to perform, for example, Hawaiian massage with hot stones, Swedish massage with hot stones, Thai-Swedish fusion massage with hot stones, or whatever combination you like.Potential to Gain Up to Three CTAA CertificatesCTAA certificates in Swedish Full-Body Massage, Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage, and Hot Stone Massage may be achieved through this course.These certificates are accredited by the CTAA and can be insured in the UK, EU and other countries, but please check relevant law for massage therapy in your country, as this varies from place to place.
