Positive Touch 2 - 1-day Massage Workshop
Positive Touch 2 is the second of the introductory courses in massage held at the Positive Health Academy of Massage and Aromatherapy. You will need to have completed the Positive Touch 1 course before attending this workshop.
The aim of this course is to introduce you to massage techniques that are of benefit for relaxing muscles and helping with stress management. It is an introductory course only, and afterwards you should be competent enough to massage friends and family members for relaxation purposes - to release the three Ts – tension, tightness and toxins. It will not equip you to practice as a massage therapist for gain. There are Diploma Courses for that.
If you have attended the Introductory Massage Workshops at the Positive Health Academy, and you sign up for the diploma course in Holistic Massage, you will be credited the cost of the workshop/s.

- Swedish Massage techniques for the front of the body including the neck, head, face, abdomen, front of the legs and feet.
The day will be broken into 4 quarters, with 2 breaks for tea and 1 for lunch.
At the end of the day you should be able to:
- List 5 contra-indications to massage
- Give a shoulder and neck massage using oil
- Give an abdomen massage using oil
- Give a front of the leg massage using oil
- Give a foot massage using oil or powder
