The objective of this course is to familiarize the student with the basis from which most forms of massage derive from. The student will learn how massage is important and effective through engaging discussions of the history and theory of massage and by experiencing the beneficial value through hands-on table work. Each student will learn the classical 1-hour massage routine commonly used in spas and resorts and how to effectively employ all of the fundamental strokes. Further instruction will lead the student into a more creative and intuitive massage that represents their individuality. This class will cover Western modalities, introducing students to several massage techniques beyond Swedish massage. Additional topics covered are Hydrotherapy, Special Populations, Ethics, NC State laws, rules, and Business Practices of the Professional Massage and Bodywork Therapist.
