Deep Tissue Massage Certificate Course | 5 CEU

I just wanted to explain why some of you may have seen this section before from my other massage courses

Welcome to my deep tissue massage course!

As you will see, unless you have a table that has the correct components-you are fighting a losing battle

Creams or oils? That is the question

Here I show you how to set up your table properly

Its the little things that can make a huge difference. Here I show you some things that will make your massage even more incredible before you even start the massage.

As they say, timing is everything

In my massage there are certain choices i make whether to include them or not

Learn this very quickly!

Getting honest feedback is vital

This could be the most important lecture in the entire course

You now need to groove these things in to make them a habit

These are also things that you need to consider for the perfect massage environment

A contraindication is a situation when massage should not be performed. Continuing with treatment may be more detrimental than beneficial and in some cases may cause serious medical problems. Here is a list of those contraindications.

My Facebook group and Instagram are great resources for you

Download the massage strokes from the resources so that you can remember the techniques correctly.

Here are the massage techniques from my relaxation course which shows you the right way and wrong way to do these basic strokes.

As you practice I want you to focus on applying the correct pressure. It will take some time as you develop your palpation skills but this will make your massage feel incredible to your client .

ok, now let's go through how to massage each body part individually.

The Start of any massage is vitally important-you make your first impressions on your client as soon as you put your hands on them so be conscious from the get-go

The back sequence is perhaps the most important area to do fabulously. We carry our tension in our backs and necks so if you can give a person a great back massage you will definitely have them rebooking!

This is the area i call the 'tipping zone'. I tell my students that if you do the back and neck massage exceptionally well this is where you will get your tips from your clients. Why? because everyone wants a great back and neck massage because this is where we hold the majority of our stress.

A combination of smooth but deep massage techniques as well as some powerful acupressure point massage

Here are some nice stretching techniques that you can incorporate into your massage

Some students had asked me how I turn the client over using the towel. I will refilm this lecture when I have a massage table again( I have just moved), but I  hope this gives you a bit of an idea. Also, I explain what I do when I start the massage and how I end it.

For a great massage, you must give a great neck massage. Here we show several techniques that will relieve even the tightest necks

Now that your client is totally relaxed we remove the stress down out of the arms, forearms and out of the palms and fingers-some of these techniques are my favorites in the massage

Now for some nice deeply relaxing massage on the front of the legs

Here are some stretches that you can do to loosen up the hamstrings, hips and lower back

Its now time to put everything together! Make sure that you do this before every massage that you give. It will make a huge difference to the massage experience for both you and your client

Here is the part where you can put on your favorite music and watch the massage sequence whilst you practice

Many students wanted to have the sequence without music so that they can watch it and also put on their own music at the same time from the same computer/tablet/iPad so that is why I have this lecture included for you.

Here are a couple of lectures on how you can simply perform chair massage on a normal chair

Here, for a bit of fun, I teach you some interesting facts about our bodily systems

And now a look at our skeletal system in under 1 minute!

It's time to learn about muscles.

It's time to see how are circulatory system works

So just how does our digestive system work?

The communications center for your body-the nervous system

And now for a look at our wonderful respiratory system.

Here are several things that need to be considered

It is important to have these traits to succeed.

Here are some things that i do that work very well to market my business.

Oh, as they say, hindsight is a wonderful thing. If only I had done these things early in my career I would have been a much better massage therapist sooner.

Your questions answered!

Here are some tips on how to get more money per client and also happier clients

They were correct! It feels great!

What to do when the friend comes too

What I do in this situation when the client has the cell phone on

Can you beat me?

How to massage that really hairy client.

Should you? Here is what I think

It is really important that you store your essential oils correctly and also replace them when they are past their use by date.

I had a question about what I do, if anything to help my body physically. Do I stretch? Take supplements? or do I do something else? Yes, I do something else. Here is what I do and it is great!

Do balms, salves and liniments really work? What does the research say?

You know what it is like. You go to the gym or do some unaccustomed exercise and then are hardly able to move a day later. This is known as D.O.M.S. ( delayed onset muscle soreness), but there are a lot of myths about what it is and does massage help it?

Here is what a lot of research has been continually showing. EAMC ( exercise associated muscle cramps) are not due to what we commonly have believed

You MUST drink water after a massage to DETOXIFY-NO YOU DO NOT. One of the biggest myth perpetuated by some massage therapists all over the World. I was also taught this in massage school. We need to stop telling our massage clients this

Congratulations!
