Certificate in Relaxation Massage

Relaxation massage brings about a general sense of unwinding in the body and reduces muscle tension. It assists general health and immune function and reduces the effects of stress, anxiety and trauma. Pressure may be lighter or deeper, depending on the receiver, and may be general or more focused on particular muscle groups. Research studies show that touch is essential for health and wellbeing.

This course combines instruction on current relaxation massage techniques and quality of touch with relevant information on the human body.
