Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage

What do you do when your clients want deeper massage work than you feel confident and competent to give? This advanced massage techniques workshop will provide you with the necessary tools to develop your deep tissue massage skills.

Course contents:

• Your safety first: couch height, proper body positioning and posture
• Working efficiently with reinforced fingers and thumbs
• For deeper work – advanced massage techniques using forearms and elbows
• Client positioning: prone, supine and side-lying work
• How to use your couch for support to make your work easier
• Focus will be on the back, neck, shoulders and gluteal area.

On this deep tissue course, you will be taught how to work safely and effectively using all these different tools so that you can incorporate them into your own massage style. You will also be shown how varying your client’s positioning on the couch will allow you to access certain muscle groups better, making your treatments even more effective.
Throughout the day, you will be given 4 individual demonstrations of techniques and have plenty of opportunity between them to practice these techniques in your own time. It’s a fun and active day run in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Suitable for anyone with Swedish massage skills.

Please note: If you attend a Deep Tissue workshop and then book onto a Sports Massage Diploma course with us within one month, you will receive your workshop fee back!
