Philosophy of our Massage Education
Massage Education Does not have to take years Is a good massage therapist someone who can recite Latin anatomical jargon, or he or she someone who can help people alleviate ailments and / or make them feel better? Most of the massage courses in Australia, the United States, and England is designed to last between six months and two years. But does this make their massage education better? Quantity does not always equal quality. Many of these massage courses are filled with hundreds of hours of learning scientific jargon that is not relevant to the real world practice of massage. When someone wants to start a massage career, he or she must ask what it takes to be a good massage therapist. We must look at the massage therapy goals, and then we must judge the massage courses based on whether that massage education is going to help us achieve our goals. In other words, a person may take 500 or 5000 hours of massage classes, but we must consider how relevant the massage course hours are to becoming a massage therapist. Whether you plan to take one massage class or many depends upon your massage career goals. Two Distinct Goals of Massage Therapy The two distinct goals of massage therapy are to promote relaxation and healing. The first is to produce client / patient relaxation and alleviate tension while giving the massage treatment. Usually Swedish massage, lymphatic drainage, and some types of Beauty Therapy massage fit into this category. The other goal of massage therapy is to heal the body and the mind by increasing mobility, the blood and lymph circulation, boosting immunity, and increasing the chi (life force) flow through the meridians in the Eastern forms of acupressure massage.
