Hands Free Massage Training Course

Hands Free Massage utilises the therapists' forearms & the strength of their entire body to deliver a deep, powerful, relaxing massage for the client.  Using the soft, inner part of the forearms enables the therapist to spread the pressure over a much wider area than is possible with traditional massage techniques.  This means that the massage works deeper without causing discomfort.  Muscle fibres can be worked smoothly & easily, helping to ease away any tension, adhesions & knots.  It delivers a treatment that will make your clients feel that their tensions have been 'ironed'.  Their muscles will feel less tense &  muscular dysfunction to deliver a therapeutic, deep but relaxing massage.  This massage soothes sore muscles, increases circulation & aids a sense of deep relaxation.  Like other forms of massage, the pace & pressure can be adapted to suit your client's needs.  

On this course you will learn new & innovative ways to adapt your current massage routine which will help you to protect your career.  You will be taught how to take the strain out of your wrists, fingers & thumbs but still give a deep & satisfying massage treatment.
