Great tips about using your weight and looking after your joints. I'm a Remedial Therapist, and this had some terrific little reminders about looking after myself - something that's easy to forget if fatigue or complacency set it!
By Donovan Douman on 7/28/2025
Watched the whole lecture truly amazing. And the way he explained and showed of using body weight, made a big difference on a practice client I’ve just tried it on. Out of it all it really made me feel comfortable and relaxed same as the client. Thanks for the massive tips

It’s not only learning the massage technique also tips not to get injured with full details. I really like the instructions and my instructor’s friendly way of teaching. I’m Watching the videos over and over not getting bored.

I love a good massage so taking this course aligns with my interests. I'm also interested in giving massages as well and this is my first step into learning. This course is designed to help people create the experience needed to build clientele.
By Paul on 1/6/2024
Met all my expectations. I was surprised, however, at how long it took him to get to actual massage techniques (following vital preparation techniques, which he took a lot of time to explain).
By Jessica Lucena on 11/3/2023
Achei valioso o conteudo sobre o posicionamento ergonomico do terapeuta e toda a explicacao sobre como manter uma pressao adequada. Obrigada por esse treinamento vou compartilhar com outras pessoas.
