Course Details

Massage is the practice of influencing soft tissue by physical, functional, and in some cases psychological purposes and goals by accredited professionals. Massage involves acting on and inspiring the client's body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary, and/or moving), tension, motion, or vibration done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, and/or organs. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm, and feet.

Massage therapy has become widely accepted by the public as well as the health and medical communities. EQUALS’ nationally recognized massage course covers specialisations in areas such as:

• pre and post natal care
• aged care
• pre and post operative care
• palliative care
• rehabilitation
• management of injuries

Our Educators work at the leading edge of the wider healthcare industry and focus on imparting effective therapeutic and clinical techniques. As more people turn to massage for its health benefits, a growing number of individuals and existing health professionals around the world are successfully combining massage with their practical and clinical skills to promote healing within the conventional medical community.

Our goal is to help you balance caring for yourself while caring for others, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
