THE ULTIMATE PREGNANCY MASSAGE WORKSHOP –THE BROADER PERSPECTIVE

Designed to provide its students with a strong foundation of knowledge, insight and abilities as well as flexibility, this workshop covers the adaptations of massage for the pregnant woman, who is undergoing structural, physiological and psychological changes. These skills can be used in private practice, spas, clinics and hospitals.

 

Beyond the hands-on techniques mentioned above, the issues of the therapist’s needs, communication with clients and their position as part of a greater network of healthcare providers are addressed.

 

Although The Ultimate Pregnancy Massage Workshop is based on Swedish Massage techniques and an advanced training in Pregnancy, Post-Natal and Infant Massage, it also integrates features gained from training in Sports Massage and Manual Lymph Drainage.
