Classical Massage
Course Description
Classical Massage could be the first type of massage that every massage enthusiast should learn at the beginning of their massage studies, as the Classical Massage course provides the ABC of massage. If the knowledge of classical massage is poorly acquired in the initial phase, this can lead to a situation where the information cannot be related to anything when learning the new types of massage. Due to that, the subsequent acquisition of a new type of massage is mechanical and not logical. Profound knowledge and mastery of classical massage will help in the future to understand all other types of massage more systematically.
If you register for the Classical Massage online course, you can start within 1–3 working days, and the course will remain open for completion for one year.
