Description: Each student will be taught the basic massage techniques, with particular emphasis placed on proper posture to prevent self-injury. The student also learns basic anatomy and physiology, professional ethics, hygiene, and about the mechanism, as well as the many benefits of massage therapy. Each student will also be educated on the counter-indications to massage (i.e., when not to perform massage). At the end of this course, a certificate is awarded, enabling the graduate to become licensed (in some cities) and practice either privately or at an establishment offering massage therapy services.
