This is a perfect stepping stone for beginners to master some basic techniques before moving on to a professional-style Swedish or Hawaiian massage.Swedish Full-Body Massage (55-minute narrated tutorial)This massage style is known in Sweden and throughout most of the world as ‘classic massage'; only the Dutch and English-speaking countries refer to it as ‘Swedish'. True to its classical name, it is generally the most well-known massage in the Western world. The treatment helps to promote the many general benefits of massage. For example, circulation is enhanced while muscular tension is reduced and muscular knots and tightness are removed.This full-body massage is soft and relaxing and employs a little deep tissue work. It is an ideal lesson through which to master the basics of massaging with oil. Once comfortable with these basics, the techniques of many other massages can be attempted with confidence.Effleurage, petrissage, friction and percussive strokes are demonstrated.Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage (67-minute narrated tutorial) For many centuries, the healing knowledge of lomilomi has been kept secret by shamans known as ‘kahunas'. However, in recent years, these shamans have decided to break their silence and openly share their wisdom, and Hawaiian massage has rapidly become popular worldwide.The motions of this Hawaiian lomilomi massage take inspiration from the four elements: water, fire, air and earth. Lomilomi is famous for graceful whole-body strokes that seek to reflect the waves of the ocean washing over the receiver. To receive one is extremely relaxing, pleasurable and therapeutic, and it can simultaneously be a mesmerising and meditative experience to give one.Stone Massage (45-minute narrated tutorial )Hot stone massage is not a stand-alone collection of techniques but rather an addition to other styles of treatment. This addition helps make the experience more satisfying for the receiver because the heat is soothing and thoroughly warms up the muscles, allowing more effective deep work.Stones can be incorporated into any oil-based massage. This lesson focuses on the principles of good practice rather than attempting to teach specific movements. This will enable you to perform, for example, Hawaiian massage with hot stones, Swedish massage with hot stones, Thai-Swedish fusion massage with hot stones, or whatever combination you like.Potential to Gain Up to Three CTAA CertificatesCTAA certificates in Swedish Full-Body Massage, Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage, and Hot Stone Massage may be achieved through this course.These certificates are accredited by the CTAA and can be insured in the UK, EU and other countries, but please check relevant law for massage therapy in your country, as this varies from place to place. To gain these certificates, you will need to complete some practice treatments, and then pass quite an easy online theory exam. You must pass this exam, but you can repeat it as many times as you like, and ask us for help if you need it. Please note, certificates will not be issued during the 30-day refund period. Please do contact us if you have any questions before or after enrolment. Bradley and Pete, i.e. the course creators, are always here to help.
