Study Diploma of Remedial Massage

Who's it for?

At this level you can practice as a massage therapist being able to be registered with industry association leaders such as the Australian Association of Massage Therapists.

What do you learn?
Remedial Massage provides a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow. When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted and tense or immobile, Remedial Massage provides a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow. Remedial massage holistically treats the whole body and traces the discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause, healing both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms.

Key benefits of Remedial Massage include: the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation

Diploma Massage graduates are therefore versatile and able to utilise a range of styles for many different clients, using Relaxation, Sports or Oriental techniques from their 1st year of training and the remedial massage technique from the 2nd year of training, to assist in a range of conditions.

Introductory & special interest courses in massage are available and leading to HLT40307 Certificate IV in Massage Therapy Practice.
