After that the course is mostly practical. It is broken down into short modules so that you can learn one technique at a time, before putting it all together to make a forty-five minute routine.
There are 5 Stages to the massage:
Stage 1 - We warm up and mobilise the foot and lower leg
Stage 2 - We use rollers on the foot in order to stimulate, soften, and massage more deeply without injuring ourselves as therapists.
Stage 3 is a luxurious massage with a moisturising cream
Stage 4 - We work all the acupressure points and meridians on the foot
And we finish with Stage 5, Buddha Footprints, a simple but incredibly calming technique to bring it all together.
