Home Learning Course Description
Whether you want to upskill, retrain for an exciting new career, or want to learn how to perform life-enhancing therapy for the benefit of yourself and your loved ones, our Home Study Qualification courses can be the perfect fit for you.
Our intermediate level home learning course in Deep Tissue Massage is designed for anyone who wants to become a Deep Tissue massage therapist. Using our detailed course manual alongside the FREE instructional tutor-led videos you will learn how to perform the best selection of essential massage movements so that you can confidently deliver a professional Deep Tissue Massage treatment.
The beautifully written and illustrated course manual guides you through a pre-treatment consultation and helps you to identify and manage common contra-indications. The manual also provides you with easy-to-understand, essential information such as the relevant anatomy and physiology, and the wide range of effects and benefits your friends, family and customers will experience from receiving therapy treatments from you.

Case studies are self-assessed and this additional experience will help you become familiar with the treatment sequence and client consultation processes. Conducting your own case studies will also boost your confidence and enhance your level of professionalism.
