Who Becomes A Massage Therapist

People who want work that helps somebody visibly. A client walks in carrying a bad week or a bad back and walks out lighter — there are not many jobs where you see the result that plainly.

No experience is needed. It also suits a beauty therapist who wants to add treatments that fill a longer, calmer appointment slot.

Three Massage Treatments In One Package

One massage technique limits who you can treat. Three means you can offer a full-body treatment, a seated treatment for someone who cannot lie down or only has half an hour, and a heated-stone treatment for clients who want something deeper.

Learning them together covers the anatomy and physiology once — nine units of it — rather than three times over, and costs less than the courses bought separately.

The Three Massage Courses Included

• Body Massage — the classical full-body Swedish routine, the effects of massage on the body, and aftercare.
• Indian Head Massage — the head, face, neck and shoulder routine, chakras and auras, contra-indications and aftercare.
• Hot Stone Massage — working with smooth, water-heated stones, the routine, and the hygiene the treatment calls for.
• Foundation, anatomy and physiology and skin healthcare — taught once and shared across all three treatments, including insurance, promoting your services and taking payments.

Massage Skills You’ll Qualify In

Six modules and thirty-nine assessed units, including nine units of anatomy and physiology — because knowing what is under your hands is what separates a massage therapist from someone who means well.

• Offer three treatments rather than one, so a client can book a different massage each visit without going elsewhere.
• Carry out each routine from start to finish, with the aftercare advice that follows it.
• Work at three price points — a full-body appointment, a short seated add-on and a premium heated-stone treatment.
• Read the anatomy that matters — skin, muscles, the skeletal system, blood and circulation and the lymphatic system — across every treatment you offer.
• Recognise skin types, diseases and disorders, so you know when to treat and when to refer a client on.
• Set yourself up to work — insurance, promoting your services, reception duties and taking payments are all covered in the Foundation module.

How To Enrol On The Ultimate Massage Course

Enrol whenever you are ready. There are no start dates, and the cost can be spread across three payments through Klarna or Clearpay.

You keep access for life with no deadline, and assessed work can be resubmitted as often as needed. A certificate comes with each treatment as you complete it. Business training and the private student groups are included throughout.

Look after your own hands, wrists and back while you learn. The technique covers that, and it is what makes this a career rather than a few good years.

Ultimate Massage Course FAQs

Is this one course or three separate ones?

It is one enrolment covering all three treatments. The shared theory — Foundation, anatomy and physiology and skin healthcare — is taught once rather than three times, and each treatment then has its own module.

Do I need any experience or an existing massage qualification?

No. The package is written for complete beginners and starts with the foundations before any of the three routines. If you already work in beauty or holistic therapy, you can move through the early modules quickly and go straight to the treatments you do not yet offer.

What do I get that I would not get buying the courses separately?

All three treatments come at one package price rather than three, and the shared theory is taught once instead of repeated.

How long does it take?

There are thirty-nine units across six modules, so this takes longer than a single course — the three treatment modules alone come to sixteen. There is no deadline, and you can work through the treatments in whichever order suits you.

How is the course delivered?

Everything is online. Each unit has video tutorials and an eBook covering the theory, across all three treatments, and you can study from a computer, tablet or phone.

How am I assessed?

Every one of the thirty-nine units has an assessment you complete online, including each unit of the three treatment modules — three for body massage, five for Indian head and eight for hot stone. If you do not pass first time, you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.

Does this package include bamboo massage?

No. Bamboo massage is only available as a course on its own.

Is the course accredited?

Yes. The Ultimate Massage Course is accredited by ABT, IPHM and IGCT, and recognised by insurers including Towergate, Radius, Insync, Balens, Salon Gold, Westminster, SJL and PolicyBee. Insurers set their own requirements, so check what your chosen provider needs for each treatment before you start taking clients.

Is business training included?

Yes, and with three treatments to sell it carries more weight here than on a single course. The Foundation module covers promoting your services, reception duties, taking payments, insurance and the legislation that applies once you start working with clients.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You can spread the cost over three interest-free payments at the checkout.
