Our Professional Massage Therapy video class, taught by an instructor with over 20 years of teaching experience, will prepare massage students to take state certification tests. While each state has different certification or registration procedures for therapists, the principles and knowledge are the same.Instead of enrolling in a professional massage therapy school taking many months and hundreds of dollars in fees you'll learn the techniques of massage therapy in the comfort of your home, saving you both time and money! We begin where Basic Massage Therapy left off, giving instructions from stroke techniques and pressure points to anatomy, physiology and muscle/bone structure. You gain a greater understanding of the physiological principles behind massage therapy. Massage therapy has been around for hundreds of year but only recently has medical science played a role in the field. We can now medically explain the benefits of massage and understand the cause and effect relationship between massage and health. This video explores the medical reasoning behind massage therapy to give a broader, more comprehensive understanding. The Professional Massage Therapy video provides continued education and starts where the "Basic Massage" video leaves off giving instruction on everything from strokes, techniques and pressure points to anatomy, physiology and muscle/bone structure. This video gives the viewer a great understanding of the physiological principles behind massage.
