Diploma in KI MASSAGE THERAPY

One Year Course
Especially in difficult times, people generally carry a high level of stress and tension literally locked into their muscles and tissues. Not only does this tend to get in the way of free circulation, but the person’s available energy is reduced. This can be noticeable in job, sports, training and personal relationships. For best performance in all areas, preventing this buildup of tension is the answer.

As a Ki Massage Therapist, you specialise in providing effortless relaxation for your clients. They benefit in terms of improved mood, in terms of energy, and in releasing the tightnesses and tensions that underly  physical pains and aches. You can help people have a better live without having to deal directly with their problems.
Initially you learn to relax and connect with your own energy. With that relaxed and energised state you apply Ki Massage. With this holistic approach, the therapist is immediately positioned in the upper end of a growing market. Ki Massage graduates are in practice all over the world.

“RELAXATION massage IS THE best for back pain”
— top medical journal

New medical evidence in the July 7, 2011 edition of the leading journal, Annals of Internal Medicine, shows that relaxation massage therapy beats standard medical care for Low Back pain.

Researchers from three leading U.S. universities, compared “relaxation massage”, “structural massage”, or “usual medical care” in 401 adults for chronic back pain.

Eight sessions of either type of massage proved much better than usual medical care, and relaxation massage emerged better on all scores than structural massage. Furthermore, the benefits lasted at least 6 months for each type of massage, with the relaxation massage still providing benefit after one year.

“I love working with people in a relaxed environment. I’m mainly based in a physiotherapy/pilates clinic.  I find the Ki Massage adds a hugely beneficial element to helping my clients return to their perfect health. The results are so rewarding with people feeling physically and mentally lighter and much more energised.”

Michael Gaines
Ki Massage Therapist, Dublin
“When clients come to me they relax to a depth that they may not have reached since childhood. “People work hard and are in stressful jobs so it is vital that they take time out to get a massage. They’re so busy and stressed earning money that their health can suffer. Massage is a great way of staying stress-free and healthy”.
