About the Massage Certificate
The history of massage dates back 3, 000 years ago to the ancient cultures of China and Egypt. The healing benefits of massage have been known to alleviate or help with a great range of illness – neurological affections, pain management, and psychological symptoms of anxiety and depression. For musculoskeletal issues, sports massage and other deep tissue have a real benefit of myofascial release, reducing pain and improving movement. This massage course has a packed syllabus, with comprehensive modules on body systems such as muscular, nervous, endocrine, digestive, respiratory and others, their functions, possible afflictions and how massage can assist with certain conditions.
The suggested time for this course is 100 hours, but you can finish the course work in more or less time. There are no time constrictions with learndirect. You simply need to enjoy the subject and have the motivation to complete it.
