Anatomy &
Physiology A basic knowledge of anatomy and
physiology is necessary in learning the theory and practice of therapeutic
massage. Students will study the
structures and functions of the human body in order to know when, where, and
how to apply massage movements for the most beneficial results. Students will also study Medical
Terminology and Contraindications.
These classes are presented in a way that makes it easy and fun for
the student to learn. Business Practices
& Marketing This class gives students the
skills needed to begin and promote a successful massage practice. Some of the subjects discussed are: business cards, licensing, places of
possible employment, types of clients you would like to work on and much
more. This is the class where all your
questions are answered. Chair Massage Basic techniques of chair massage
and a “15 minute” therapeutic chair massage routine will be demonstrated and
practiced. Simple business ideas for
massage will be discussed and students will learn First Aid tips for chair
massage. This modality is becoming highly popular and can be offered on-site
at offices, health food stores, marathons, schools, and more. Health/Hygiene
& Ethics This class will give the students
the knowledge needed to protect themselves and their clients through health
and hygiene. Ethics of massage therapy
will also be studied and discussed. Music &
Massage This innovative class focuses on an
important element of a professional massage therapist’s practice: the music.
Experience the effects of various genres of music on freedom and style
of body movement, fluidity, emotion, and memory. Learn invaluable information about how
music affects our movement and flow. The Facial Web
(Structural Bodywork) This class introduces a therapeutic
model of bodywork, a category referred to as structural bodywork. It introduces
the student to a specialized approach to doing deeper massage work. This work
can stand alone as modalities like deep tissue, myofascial release and sports
massage, or can be integrated into a wellness therapy such as Swedish
massage. Benefits can include increased range of motion, ease of movement,
improved posture, increased healing of injured areas, and increased athletic
performance. Swedish Massage Massage therapy is an ancient healing
art. This course focuses on the power of touch and how massage affects the
mind, body and spirit and helps to facilitate the body’s healing
process. The importance of Health
& Hygiene, Indications and Contraindications for massage is also studied. The emphasis of the practical training is a
50-minute and a 80-minute, full-body Swedish massage routine. The five basic Swedish strokes are taught: effleurage, petrissage, friction, vibration
and tapotement, and their variations.
Students not only learn the basics of massage; but also are encouraged
to develop their own style.
Interrelated topics are also taught during Swedish classes including:
meditation as a tool for massage therapists to help in calming the mind and
focusing before a session; and breathwork techniques and guided dialogue to
expand your capacity for freedom, power, and joy; and, movement awareness,
giving you a conscious experience of lasting ease and relaxation in your
body. These skills are essential to training and needed in order to help
others through massage and deep tissue work. Hands on Healing Institute is a private institute
licensed to operate by the Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education for
