As a massage therapist, you run into multitudes of body types and conditions that are not always easy to work with. Both Medical Qigong and Spa Deep Tissue offer two different ways of approaching the body that save your hands, while helping your clients.
In Medical Qigong, Chinese meridian systems are used to assess the body's constriction and flow of chi (energy, blood, and lymph) in the body.
Students learn how to use more than just their hands to help address dis-
ease in the body, including movement, breath work, healing sounds, meditation, and visualization exercises. Combined with the hands on application of weaving Medical Qigong into a full body massage, students learn how to turn a one hour session into an long term treatment plan that heals the body from the inside out.
For therapists who that want a to learn how to give a deeper massage
without straining their body, Spa Deep Tissue helps students focus in on body mechanics and "using all their tools". Students learn how to use their fists, elbows, as well as proper client positioning to give a more effective massage that is versatile for many body types and sizes.
