1. Whole-Body Massage/ Sports-Massage

We teach whole body/sports massage according to the curriculum of the Euroacademie in Germany . This 5 day intensive course provides an ideal basis for the start of a professional career. The quest for proper regeneration, relaxation and rest often requires professional help; these are in fact the main reasons why clients visit a massage institute.

What is the Whole-Body/ Sports-Massage ?

The massage grips and techniques used in this massage are concerned with the whole body including legs, feet, back, arms, hands and abdominal area. The main purpose is to loosen up the muscles, increase blood circulation, improve metabolism and eliminate waste products. You will learn how to work deep into the muscle tissue and specifically concentrate on problem areas. However, this massage is only suitable for generally healthy clients.

The applied massage techniques are based on medical principles. We use a great variety of grips which include grips for loosening up, kneading, vibrations, warm-up and pressure-point grips. A full body massage takes between 60 -90 minutes; you may, however, later decide to just offer partial massages, specializing only on particular areas such as back, foot, arm or hand massages.

Preconditions for Participation
