Courses massage

You almost certainly arrived here because you searched for "courses massage" in that order on Google or Yahoo! From hereon, you may read "courses massage" as "massage courses" (things we have to do for Google lol). This page will tell you about courses massage aimed specifically at healing rather than relaxation, and thus effectively about learning massage for a professional career.

Massage for health purposes is the most lucrative form of massage to earn by. "Sexy" massage is not covered here - healing massage techniques will sustain a career with regularity and into your senior years (whilst you are healthy enough to do it).

"Courses massage" are invariably going to be oriental

There are three types of courses massage suitable to found a massage therapist's career upon - Chinese (tuina) massage, Thai massage and Indonesian massage. Chinese massage can be learned as a basis to further extend career options to learning acupuncture.

Shiatsu is a therapy many of you will have heard of, being basically a Japanese form of Chinese tuina (sometimes spelt tui na) and gentler in application. Shiatsu practitioners can study to add acupuncture to their knowledge base.

Courses massage - insurance is vital

Both Chinese tuina massage and Thai massage will be good places to start for the complete novice intent on a career. The courses massage taught at the Bodyharmonics Centre will entitle the student who successfully completes the courses to become accredited and thus be able to get insurance.

Insurance is essential should you wish to practise professionally - getting recognised accreditation is a vital step in getting that insurance. Don't make the mistake of completing a courses massage only to find you cannot get accreditation and hence insurance. You may have to take a further course to qualify for a massage discipline that'll get you insurance.

Anatomy and physiology course before courses massage

These courses massage teach you healing techniques so it will be essential to undergo an anatomy and physiology course. You need to understand what it is that you are trying to heal. You can book a 5 day anatomy and physiology course here that provides you with what you will need including a diploma.

Note: The anatomy and physiology course does not involve dead bodies or anything squeamish (promise) - just in case you were worried.
