It is in our Hands On classes that the students actually learn massage therapy techniques.  In module 1, the students start by learning the 5 basic strokes of massage.  After perfecting these strokes, we teach the students how to combine them into a sequence that fulfills the expectations of a full body massage.  With module 2, the students begin to learn the techniques of deep tissue massage and how to address the common conditions clients will present in real life therapy situations.
