Massage Smarter Not Harder: Expand Your Treatment Skills

This course will help you expand your massage "tool-kit" for those times when your usual techniques have failed you. Learn how to achieve optimal results with your clients without stressing your body. You will be shown and practise a variety of techniques, as well as work on your palpation skills. There will be a focus on your body posture to help prevent injuries, ensuring a long career.

What is different about this course:

- Class participants are not used as the demonstration bodies, so you will see ALL techniques as demonstrated
- You will have ample time to practise on multiple bodies to try the new techniques on various tissues as you would for your clients
- Group size is limited to 15 to allow for personal attention for everyone

"You opened my eyes to doing things differently and brought back some old techniques I had forgotten." Roland K RMT

"WOW! What a great course! Andrea demonstrates excellent strategies for using and incorporating techniques and equipment such as rocking and shaking, fists, forearms and hydraulic stools into regular everyday treatments that will significantly extend the working life (and save the hands) of any massage therapist. The course reminds us of treatment of those long forgotten areas such as iliopsoas, subscapularis and pectoralis minor." Beth Major RMT

Expanding Business Intelligence for RMT's

Whether you are starting out or have had some experience, you may still not feel comfortable with the business end of massage therapy. No matter how exceptional your treatment skills are, if your clients can’t find you, or if your service does not separate you from the crowd, you may not make ends meet. I bring 12 years of experience working in various settings, then owning my own clinic; to teach you the lessons I learned by making the mistakes myself so you can avoid making them!

"Even though I have been in practise for 7 years, I learned tips and strategies to improve my business and continue its growth in the future. From suggestions to improve the day-to-day aspects of running a massage clinic to tips regarding the long term outlook of keeping my business alive and healthy in the coming years. Andrea's course was full of relevant and highly useful information. I would recommend this course to both new graduates and seasoned massage therapists who have been in the business for years." Beth Major RMT

"Andrea touched on a lot of topics that I either forgot about or did not realize that I was doing wrong or not at all. I learned a lot about new ways for advertising and marketing." Mary K RMT
