Duration: 100 hours (20 hours online, 56 hours presential, and 24 hours of case studies)
Prior Learning: Holistic massage (basic body massage or more) with studies of anatomy and physiology. The level of massage will have to be approved by the school before admission to the course.
Tutor: Francy Vantomme
The objective of this course is to amplify your knowledge of massage to be able to adjust it to the needs of every individual client. You will learn how to use the elbow, forearm, and fists and to introduce stretches in your routine to alleviate muscular tension in your client and to improve their posture in general. The course will increase the quality level of your service.
The main idea is that students learn the biggest part of the theory on our online platform. The practice will be acquired by assisting a 7-day intensive week in our school in Málaga.
After the practical week, students work on their case studies in their homes. And send them to the tutor. All the information for this will be provided in the practical week.
