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.
