Indonesian Massage is a deep tissue therapy partially used in sports massage to get into the layers of the muscles in order to release tension and knots, a more gentle version is performed as Swedish Massage for relaxation and detox purposes. Although parts of it have been used in other therapies throughout the world, proper Indonesian Massage is rarely done in the UK and even less taught. Our massage techniques are from originally used methods found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Java and Bali. These techniques are very effective due to their strength and the fact that the massage is carried out with body parts other than just fingers and hands as found in other massage therapies in the UK.
Our course runs over three months for one weekend a month. You will be practising on each other which means that you will have a number of undressed areas of your body involved in the massage at the time so please bring swimwear with you. With this course you receive a FREE massage oil to start you off with your treatments.
You will receive a full certificate on completion, which can be upgraded to an optional diploma by submitting 20 case studies within 6 months after course completion.
Alternatively, for new therapists wishing to become qualified using this as a foundation course, you can also complete our online Heath and Safety course, plus an online Anatomy and Physiology and separate examination to become a newly fully qualified therapist. (Links and details given on request)
