Course Description
The basic strokes of Swedish Massage Therapy are taught in our first bodywork class. These strokes form the foundation on which other modalities are based. This course emphasizes quality of touch, creating safety, draping, body mechanics, as well as self-awareness and personal growth. Lecture, group discussions, and in class activities are utilized to explore indications/contraindications of massage, hygiene, foundational ethics, professionalism, values, standards of practice, scope of practice, communication, boundaries, and massage with special populations. Wellness is emphasized for both client and therapist, discussions include self-care, health benefits of massage, and importance of bodywork in a whole health approach. Students learn multiple approaches in order to facilitate working with clients with diverse needs. Through demonstrations and student trades, students learn a full body Wellness Massage Therapy routine. Swedish & Wellness Massage class provides students with a broad knowledge base and a solid foundation for the rest of their program. Includes 100 hours of class time and 20 hours of practice labs.
