HLT50307 Diploma of Remedial Massage

Love to alleviate people's aches and pains? The Diploma of Remedial Massage could be just the remedy.

This course takes a good, hard look at musculoskeletal problems using basic and advanced remedial massage, trigger points, myofascial release and lymphatic drainage techniques. A strong emphasis is placed on human movement, diagnostic techniques, and symptomatology and diagnosis. While all of this vital knowledge gained is applied through practical work in the ACNT Student Clinic and hands-on demonstrations.

A Day in the Life

Being a Massage Therapist gives you the rare chance to relieve tension with the gentle touch of the fingertips. A thorough chat with your client informs you of problem areas, and provides the vital clues necessary to devise an effective treatment plan. It's not long before the treatment really comes to life, by using any combination of healing remedies – remedial massage, reflexology, shiatsu, trigger point therapy and exercise therapy.
