What is Hands Free Massage?
Skilful & Sensitive
Dynamic & Adaptive
Effective & Effortless
1 Day Introduction
This Hands Free Massage Day focuses on ‘soft forearm’ techniques (using the bellies of the flexor muscles) on the client’s back only. The strokes covered can easily be incorporated into your massage sessions and include firm sweeping strokes, touching on more detailed work on tension areas.
2 Day Basic Training
This Hands Free Massage Training is an extended version of the 1 Day Intro, working on the whole of the back of the body.
It also introduces using the ‘hard’ forearm (ulna) for more specific and effective pressure techniques, delivered in a skilful and sensitive manner.
8 Days Advanced Training
The essential training to protect your career and ensure its longevity.
We help you to learn how to replace the use of your hands for most of your massage techniques.
This 8 Day Training (spread over several months) is designed to save your fingers, thumbs and wrists while applying firm pressure, with support from your body… but that’s not all!
To help you expand your repertoire and freshen your approach, you’ll learn around 60 new ‘moves’ for massage on table, chair and side-lying. You will become more effective when applying pressure in a skilful and sensitive way, thereby helping you to maintain your career and offer superior massage. Dynamic bodyuse is incorporated to support you.
