Deep Tissue Massage Certificate Course (5 CEU's)

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.

Maybe one day you would like to use essential oils to enhance the massage experience even further. Here are the dilution rates and also oils that are contraindicated for children, nursing mothers and pregnancy.

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.

I am constantly asked what music I like to massage to. Here are a few of my favorites for you to check out. If you go to the resources you can click on the links directly

Vive.   Clinical aromatherapy Sarvetaratra

Anugama.   Shamanic Dream II

Brian Eno.   Thursday Afternoon

Peter Kater.   Elements of Air

Road to Perdition soundtrack

Deuter.   Illumination of the Heart

Olafur Arnauls.    Living Room Songs

Dan Gibson.    Solitudes

Deva Premal.    Dakshina

Dean Evenson.   Healing Sanctuary

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.

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

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.

Your questions answered!

Can you beat me?

How to massage that really hairy client.

Should you? Here is what I think

It can be difficult to know which carrier oil to choose when doing massage. Here are the qualities of the most popular ones and also some lovely recipes for you to try out.

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

Ok, it is time to test your memory.

Congratulations!
