Swedish Massage

You’ll learn the basics of Swedish massage, including pressure, depth, direction, sequence, speed, rhythm, and touch.

Cross-Fiber Massage

Our massage course also introduces you to the fundamentals of cross-fiber massage, a deep-muscle therapy technique that enhances tissue repair.

Deep Tissue Massage

Students explore the basic techniques of deep tissue massage and study how it can relieve deeper layers of tension patterns.
