- DESCRIPTION & DURATION - (30 HOURS / 6 DAYS)

This program aims to teach students the most popular techniques used today by professional massage therapists. Based on the same principals as Swedish massage (the most popular type of massage treatment today), which aims to promote general health and relaxation, improved circulation, stress reduction, detoxification and pain relief.

These techniques are used in order to address the most common cases of muscle tension and help the body recover from a wide variety of mild physical and mental conditions.
