Specific Massage Training Techniques

Swedish massage is designed specially to relax your muscles. By applying pressure on the muscles and the bones, we enhance the oxygen flow in the blood and elevate the process of removal of toxins from the muscles. The Swedish massage further helps in flushing out lactic, uric acid and other toxins from the tissues. Through this massage, the ligaments and tendons become more flexible and it also stimulates the skin and nervous system, thus relieving you from emotional and physical stress. This Advanced massage therapy training of Swedish massage is a very effective therapy which helps in achieving overall wellbeing.

Shiatsu Massage training module includes an introduction to the principles of Shiatsu, Meridians, Points at different places in the body, Yin Yang Theory and the different signs of imbalance. Once you learn this technique, you will be able to apply, medium to strong pressure on the body using the palms, fingers, thumbs and elbows. The Shiatsu is a combination of the principles of Chinese medicines and the art of acupuncture (here we do not use needles). In Shiatsu, the vital force is termed as chi, this flows through meridians or connected channels in the body. Any blockage within these channels causes pain, stress, fatigue, depression and this is the root cause for the disease. In this therapy, step by step pressure is applied on the pressure points on the meridians which stimulates the nerves and the tissues, thus enhancing the flow of chi in the meridians.

Reflexology works at the imbalances in the feet and hands. In this therapy the blockages are released and free flow of energy is restored in specific areas, organs and also of the whole body by working on the points at the feet and the hands. This massage training is a focused form of acupressure which helps in blood circulation, detoxification of blood and helps in proper nerve functioning. This not only heals but also revitalizes your entire body.

Deep Tissue Massage is meant for those who are inclined to pursuing massage therapy for clinical applications. This training for massage therapy is totally goal oriented and relieves one from pain and discomfort. The massage therapist training program will help you understand and locate your client's trigger points, pain patterns, and the places were pressure needs to be applied. You will be taught how to release tension from the tissues which are the cause of pain. Not only this, you would be taught specific hand strokes which would make your work more effective.
