Pregnancy Massage Training Course
It is usually advised that if you are a massage therapist and you wish to include massaging pregnant ladies in your business, that you undertake specialist pregnancy massage training.
A course in maternity massage should give you a good understanding of what a lady’s body goes through throughout pregnancy, including how posture changes, hormonal influences on the body and pathologies that could contra-indicate massage treatment or may require you to modify your treatment.
At Cheltenham School of Complementary Therapy & Beauty we believe that 2-days training is what we need to give you in order to teach the theory and to provide you with numerous practical application ideas. Pregnancy can be a nerve-racking as well as joyous time and it is our experience, from our own holistic practice in Cheltenham, that pregnant ladies seek out massage therapists with additional training. As with non-pregnant clients, being able to provide alternative treatment positions and modifications is key. Knowledge and practise enables a trained pregnancy massage therapist to work safely, provide advice to the client and to develop a relationship of trust and understanding.
The 2-day Pregnancy Massage training course at Cheltenham School of Complementary Therapy & Beauty is accredited by the FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists).
