  How to take a massage course Reviews

  How do you become a massage therapist?

  It usually starts like this: your relatives, friends and girlfriends, at first occasionally, and then more and more often, ask you to “knead your back a little, massage your neck, stretch your legs.” You are good at it, you see the result, you like it, and at some point the thought comes: “Should I go to study as a massage therapist?” Someone you know enthusiastically shouts: “Come on! You can do it! You have great hands!” Someone doubts: “There you must have medical education. Yes, and a lot of power is needed!” Which of them is right? Is it possible for everyone to be a massage therapist?

  Our many years of experience in classical massage courses says that everyone can learn how to do massage correctly! You need to get some knowledge of human anatomy and place your hands correctly. For this, it is best to go through special massage courses without medical education. An ordinary, non-medical person can learn how to do massage in 40-50 training hours.

  Is it possible to learn how to do massage on your own, from books and video courses? Theoretically, this is possible, but it is better to put hands with a teacher. Because many things you just need to feel with your hands and with your whole body. The teacher must literally take the novice massage therapist by the hand and form the correct movements. Massage training is mainly about developing practical skills, not theory.
  

  How much do you need to study?

  A lot depends on the person, on his coordination. Someone grasps everything on the fly, someone needs more time.Capable people can be given the basics of massage in just one or two days. But on average, a person needs to do 5-6 massages in order to consolidate the skills. It is usually believed that the main thing in massage is a set of massage techniques, all sorts of kneading, stroking, rubbing, percussion and others. In fact, this is only the formal side of the matter and far from being the main one! You can literally know 3-4 tricks and at the same time be an excellent massage therapist. The essence of massage is the general culture of touching and influencing the body, it is the ability to feel the body, understanding where and how to press, and most importantly, this is the attitude towards the client. Unfortunately, these subtleties are rarely included in the course of study and are transmitted mainly by word of mouth by experienced massage therapists.
  

  What is a good massage?

  Now there are a lot of types of massage and massage therapists and it is very difficult to understand all this diversity. Often we see “masseurs” who cannot be allowed to approach people for a kilometer. And we really feel sorry for the clients who go for a massage, like a dentist.

  You need to start with what kind of massage you need. What kind of massages are there? Simply put, it's all about the goal. If a person needs treatment, then this is a medical massage, which is prescribed by a doctor, and which is done in medical institutions. If a girl wants a toned figure and smooth Beautiful face, then this is a cosmetic massage. If a person is an athlete, and he needs to keep his body in great shape, then this is a sports massage. For prevention, pleasure and relaxation is hygienic massage. Often it is also called classic. Next, you need to find the appropriate massage therapist.

  I don’t know about you, but we only agree on a great massage and only a great massage therapist. A person trusts the most valuable thing he has - his body. A great massage is a massage that gives results, and immediately. If you have come for a cosmetic facial massage, then after the massage the face should look several years younger, it should breathe freshness, be soft and elastic. If you came to relax and unwind, then the massage should be a pleasure, and after the massage you should feel like after a few hours of sleep. The body should be light, the mood should be cheerful and optimistic. If you didn’t feel anything special during the massage and after it, then this is not the right massage and the wrong masseur.
  

  Massage should be enjoyable!

  There is one very tenacious myth, thanks to which it feeds great amount unfortunate massage therapists. Namely: “A real massage should be painful!” Maybe there is a special category of people who like to be tortured. But pain in massage is the exception rather than the rule.
  When pain during massage is justified:

  - Sports massage when you need to put your muscles in order, as quickly as possible.
  - Medical massage Yes, treatment can be painful.
  - Rehabilitation massage when newly injured body parts are developed.
  - Anticellulite massage when there is a rupture of adhesions of the connective tissue.

  But even in these cases, the pain should be quite tolerable. In other cases, pain and bruising is a sign of an unskilled massage therapist. Massage is pleasure, not suffering!We teach how to make a pleasant massage.
  

  How to distinguish a good massage therapist?

  Most main indicator is, of course, the result. Is it possible to find a good massage therapist in advance? Yes, there are a number of signs that distinguish the masters of their craft.

  Good massage therapists

  Usually calm, energetic, healthy people;
  - friendly and attentive, be sure to ask a question about contraindications to massage, ask about your wishes and feelings during the massage;
  - adapt to you, try to help you and make you feel good;
  - do massage "from the heart", not mechanically, touch the body confidently, but carefully and smoothly;
  - the massage therapist's hands are warm, smooth, dry, pleasant to the touch, "energetic".

  Therefore, when you come for a massage, say hello to the masseur by the hand, take a closer look at him. If he seems unhealthy, lethargic, and his palm feels like a dead fish, then you should look for another massage therapist.
  

  How to make a good massage?

  1) Use body weight
  Try to exert influence not at the expense of fingers or hands - so they will quickly get tired - but by transferring body weight. It's like you're leaning on the customer! To release the pressure, swing your whole body back, to increase the pressure, swing forward again.

  2) Focus on the customer
  Feel that you want to help the client, feel tenderness for him, take care of him. Listen to him, to his emotions and feelings. Listen to your feelings. What would you like to do now to help your client. If the client wants to talk, keep the conversation going, listen to him!

  3) Relax and relax again
  When the massage therapist is relaxed and at peace, the client also relaxes and feels calm. In psychology, this is called “emotional contagion.” You literally convey your mood to your client. When you massage, periodically be aware of your body. Are you comfortable? Is there tension somewhere? Don't stick to one place, change your position, come in from the other side, come closer. Relax, exhale tension. When the massage therapist is tense, his tension is transmitted to the client.

  4) Keep your back straight

  Pay special attention to your lower back. Incorrect position of the spine leads to rapid fatigue and back pain. You don't want the client to be forced to give you a massage after the session to bring you back to your senses! Adjust your height with your legs. Spread your legs wider, bend them at the knees, so you will feel more stable and confident.

  5) Remember yourself
  Take some time to relax after your massage session. Drink tea or just water, take a deep breath, feel the satisfaction of a job well done. It is also good to do some exercises to restore your energy.
  

  Happy massage!

  To take a massage course at the Elixir Center

  There is a lot of talk about the profession of a massage therapist different opinions, but, whatever one may say, by most massage therapists she is recognized as one of the best for two reasons. Firstly, this profession allows you to bring real benefits to people. Secondly, you can make good money, while working exclusively for yourself, and not for your “uncle”.

  How to become a massage therapist, and where to start?

  What does a massage therapist do - features of the profession and types of massage

  What is a massage, no one needs to explain. This impact with the help of skillful hands of a specialist on soft tissues patient for specific purposes.

  This method of treatment and relaxation has been used by people since ancient times. True, today the classification of massage types has expanded significantly.

  The main types are…

  • Massotherapy. The most complex and responsible, requiring not only a couch and talcum powder, but also specific knowledge.
  • Children's. Children's massage therapists are especially in demand today. Every 3rd mother turns to a massage therapist with certain problems in a baby, or even just for the development of a toddler.
  • Sports. Every professional athlete needs the services of a massage therapist, so specialists in this area are also in demand.
  • Cosmetic. It is usually carried out in beauty salons and massage parlors to return the skin to a blooming healthy look.
  • Relaxing. This type of massage helps to relieve tension, relax muscles, activate the right points in the body, eliminate back pain, etc.
  • Spot.
  • Ayurvedic.

  Also, massage can be using an apparatus or other devices (brushes, cans, etc.), it can be oriental (Thai, Korean, Shiatsu) and European, etc., deep or superficial.

  V Russian system massage is usually referred to as European, and the founder of our therapeutic school recommended that it be combined with gymnastics and indispensable hydrotherapy for the proper effect (note - M.Ya. Mudrov).

  Massage becomes one of effective tools treatment for a variety of problems and diseases, which include flat feet and cellulite, impaired digestion and spinal problems, beer tummy, etc.

  For whom is this profession - for men or for women?

  Despite the individual nuances of the profession, it is still suitable for both. Of course, a man has more strength, and a power massage will be more effective, but for a massage for children (or for cosmetic, relaxing), gentle female hands are preferable.

  Well, and most importantly: given profession will always be in demand, and everyone will find a job for themselves in it.

  Pros and cons of being a massage therapist

  Knowledgeable people say that the pros of this work outweigh all the cons.

  Is it so?

  The benefits of the profession include the following:

  1. An opportunity to realize yourself in a profession that will be useful not only for you, but also for others. Double joy when your activity brings tangible benefits to someone.
  2. Opportunity to work for yourself.
  3. Decent earnings (massage now - an expensive pleasure).
  4. Demand. The stronger the progress, the less people move, and the more problems comes with health. A sedentary lifestyle affects absolutely everyone, which ultimately leads to the need to treat emerging problems. And, of course, no one cancels children's massage, massage therapists in sanatoriums and salons, etc.
  5. Low competition. There are few real professionals today. There are many massage therapists who have completed standard courses, but there are very few specialists who have the official right to conduct therapeutic massage.
  6. Regular contact with people.
  7. Free schedule (when working for yourself, you plan the sessions yourself, based on free time).

  Disadvantages of the profession:

  1. Physically hard work. A fragile little girl simply cannot handle a serious power massage.
  2. Regular professional development is a must.
  3. When working for yourself, you will have to periodically spend money on consumables (not such serious bills, but they are inappropriate).
  4. Clients will have to look for yourself.
  5. Massage will have to be done by a variety of people, including those whom you would not much like to see naked on your couch.
  6. High responsibility. This is one of the most important cons. For example, with certain problems with the spine in the cervical region, it is possible to make a person disabled by a careless movement. That's why amateurs are never allowed to get massage therapy.
  7. The presence of a massage "cabinet" in the apartment may raise questions - from neighbors, family members, SES, and so on. Therefore, the ideal option is to rent your own office in a suitable institution.
  8. Over time, a professional massage therapist can acquire diseases such as varicose veins (note - constant work on the legs), problems with the spine and with the joints of the hands.

  As you can see, there are many more shortcomings, but for a person aimed at success, this is not a problem!

  What skills and talents does a future massage therapist need?

  The qualities and talents that a massage therapist should possess include ...

  • Communication skills and personal charm. The massage therapist must inspire confidence in the patient.
  • Endurance and patience.
  • Craving for knowledge (you will have to constantly develop).
  • Stress resistance.
  • Confidence and calmness.
  • Ultimate care.

  What should a massage therapist be able to and know?

  • Human anatomy, including the location of muscles, all tendons, as well as large vessels, nerve fibers, organs. And, of course, the features of the impact on the body of each massage.
  • Key massage techniques.
  • All the features of the massage.
  • The nuances of the use of oils and other means for massage.
  • All requirements/rules regarding sanitary control.
  • All possible indications / contraindications for a particular type of massage.
  • Psychology, physiology.
  • The ability to choose the right type and technique of massage for a particular person in accordance with contraindications, etc.

  What can a massage therapist do without?

  • Appropriate education.
  • License (certificate).
  • Sufficient skill level for the job.
  • Strong arms and legs, good physical condition in general.
  • Location for sessions.

  I will go to masseurs, let them teach me - where to go to study?

  Unfortunately, in our time there are very few professional masseurs, and they simply dissolve in the general mass of amateurs who proudly call themselves masseurs.

  Of course, in fairness, it is worth saying that among amateurs there are people who are fluent in the art of massage - but, alas, not everyone is able to master this art.

  That's why it's so important professional education, and not a monthly course, "listened on the Internet."

  So, you can master (at different levels!) a profession in 2 ways:

  1. Courses at a medical educational institution. Affordable and fast option. The duration of training depends on the program. After graduation, you receive a certificate that gives you the right to work, but with limited powers and, accordingly, with a reduced income bar.
  2. Obtaining an appropriate education in a medical school, and only then - additional massage courses. This is an ideal option for those who have already received a medical education (nurses, paramedics, doctors), or for those who are just looking for their own path of development in life.

  Will you be able to fully and legally work as a massage therapist without a medical education?

  No and no again.

  Therapeutic massage, the most sought after, will be an unattainable dream for you with only a certificate.

  Do I need to graduate from medical school to become a massage therapist?

  No. It is enough to get the specialty "nurse" (the training period is only 2 years with a little) - and complete the courses there (for a fee).

  What's next?

  New techniques appear quite often, and the preferences of patients change just as often, whose horizons regarding new techniques are also expanding, so improving skills is necessary and inevitable.

  You can improve your skills in domestic or international schools(there are a lot of them today).

  How much does a massage therapist earn, career ladder and demand for the profession

  A massage therapist can have a small salary only in 2 cases:

  1. He does not want to work (or too lazy to look for clients).
  2. He lives in a region where almost no one needs massage.

  Each massage therapist working for himself determines the threshold of his salary independently.

  The salary depends on the desire to work, on the availability of clients and on the very way of working:

  1. The average salary in the salon is 20000-80000 rubles, depending on the city, the prestige of the salon, the skills of the massage therapist.
  2. The average salary at a polyclinic is 15,000-30,000 rubles.
  3. The average salary when working for yourself is from 50,000 rubles and more, depending on the number of clients and performance. One massage session, depending on its complexity, today costs 500-3000 rubles. Maximum amount sessions per day are determined by the massage therapist himself. One gets tired after the 1st session, and the other spends 4-5 sessions a day easily and “with a song”.

  Demand for the profession

  We have already mentioned it above, but it is worth noting that this profession is in the TOP-10 most popular on modern market labor.

  Masseur needed for…

  • Polyclinics and hospitals.
  • Health centers and sanatoriums.
  • Massage parlors and beauty salons.
  • In sports clubs.
  • In baths and so on.

  Speaking of a career, it should be noted that its pinnacle is its own massage parlor.

  True, you will have to work hard so that it pays for itself in terms of costs, but then you can work for yourself with a clear conscience, without worrying that difficult moneyless times will come.

  How and where to look for a job as a massage therapist - what do you need to start, and where to start?

  Even if you want to work exclusively for yourself, it’s still better to start from work “for your uncle” in order to gain the necessary experience. It is not recommended to start independent swimming without practice.

  If you have a medical education and an appropriate certificate, then you will not have problems with getting anywhere (massage therapists are required everywhere today). The ideal option is a private clinic, a sanatorium.

  If you have enough experience, then it's time to think about your own office. Find a convenient place with inexpensive rent, purchase a massage table and related tools / supplies, and go!

  Important:

  Clients who need constant massage quickly get used to their massage therapist and do not want to change him. In addition, they will recommend a good massage therapist to their friends and relatives.

  Therefore, when working in a clinic, you can have time to acquire your own client base.

  How to look for clients?

  • The surest way is word of mouth. Since regular customers the main income is formed, therefore, than more people you make happy - the better. And it’s worth starting with free sessions so that you are reached for high-quality and professional massage.

  Well, here are the standard methods:

  • Social networks and forums, bulletin boards on the Internet.
  • Advertisements in newspapers.
  • Business cards, flyers.
  • And so on.

  Don't forget about your physical form- the massage therapist must be strong, physically hardy, capable of long hard work in every sense.

  Masseur(from fr. masser- rub) - a specialist in superficial mechanical effects on the body that improves well-being. The profession is suitable for those who are interested in labor and farming (see the choice of profession for interest in school subjects).

  Features of the profession

  Massage is a system of dosed mechanical influences on the skin and soft tissues to improve well-being. The masseur does not adjust the joints, does not touch the spine, he works only with the surface of the body. But the touches of a skilled craftsman give a stunning effect.

  Massage has been used as a remedy since ancient times. Today, massage can be conditionally divided into therapeutic, sports and cosmetic. Therapeutic massage is used in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, during spa treatment. Specialists in sports massage work with professional athletes and visitors of fitness centers. Cosmetic massage is used to improve the condition of the skin. Usually this is done by specialists from a massage parlor. Different types of massage use similar techniques. Usually these are rubbing, kneading, stroking, vibration, patting, etc.

  With the help of rubbing or patting, for example, you can relax too tense muscles, warm up stiff joints. But also massage gives an effect, at first glance, unexpected. For example, by massaging the feet, you can improve the functioning of the stomach. The fact is that massage activates reflex and metabolic processes in the body by improving lymph flow, blood circulation, and affecting the nervous tissue.

  Massage can be deep (great strength) and superficial, fast and slow, exciting and relaxing. It can be manual or hardware. Most often, masseurs work with their hands, and even if they use small mechanical devices (brushes, massage cups, etc.), such a massage is called manual. But modern technologies replenish the arsenal of massage therapists. And if the massage therapist uses devices (for vacuum massage, vibration massage, etc.), then this is a hardware massage. Also, massage systems can be divided into European and Oriental.

  The domestic system - familiar and widely used in medical institutions - is among the European ones. It is also called the classical Russian system. It considers the body as a whole and has a long history. M. Ya. Mudrov (1776-1831), the founder of the Russian therapeutic school, recommended massage along with hydrotherapy and gymnastics. And at the end of the 19th century, specialists in massage and gymnastics began to be trained in Russia. Among the European ones, the Swedish and Finnish systems are also distinguished. Oriental massages include Japanese massage (shiatsu massage), Thai massage, Korean massage su jok, etc.

  It may seem to someone that everyone can do massage, just remember a few massage movements. This is a harmful misconception. In order for massage to help, and not harm a person, you need to understand exactly how and what each technique acts on, know the right place and measure of impact.

  Attracts many. Firstly, it brings a good income, and secondly, anyone can master it. But where to start your journey? What does it take to become a massage therapist? And how long will it take to learn the basics of the profession?

  It would seem that finding answers to all these questions is quite simple. But it is worth digging deeper - and hidden facts come out, giving rise to more and more new questions. Therefore, in order to dispel all myths and prejudices in one fell swoop, let's talk about how you can really become a good massage therapist in Russia.

  The first step is the hardest

  Let's say a certain plan called "I want to become a massage therapist" was born in your head. After thinking about it, you will clearly come to the conclusion that this is a good idea that is easy to implement. That's just for some reason, most people simply do not go further than empty rhetoric.

  Therefore, the first advice will be banal: “Act!” That is, do not just read the article on how to become a massage therapist, but really start to follow all the recommendations that are written in it. After all, this is the only way to succeed. And remember: the first step is the most difficult, then it will be easier.

  What qualities should a massage therapist have?

  So, let's put professional skills aside for a moment and focus on what personal qualities every massage therapist should have. After all, if a person does not have such, he will have to sweat a lot in order to develop them in himself.

  1. Good physical shape is the first necessary minimum, since almost all types of massage require strength in the hands. Otherwise, the specialist will not be able to properly stretch the large muscles and tendons.
  2. Endurance and patience are the key to productive work. This is due to the fact that some massage sessions can last for an hour or more. Therefore, a person must prepare himself in advance for such tests of soul and body.
  3. An indomitable thirst for knowledge. For some reason, some experts stop after learning only a few massage techniques. This is the wrong approach, because a good master has many skills. Therefore, if you are seriously thinking about how to become a massage therapist, you should be prepared for the fact that you will have to study for the rest of your life.

  

  On the verge of an important choice

  There are several ways to learn the profession of a massage therapist. At the same time, any of them will have both their pluses and minuses. Therefore, it would be right to discuss them in separate paragraphs in order to figure out which one is still better.

  In short, the first way is to complete preparatory courses, which will give an idea of ​​the basics of this profession. The second is to enter a medical college or college, which will open access to more popular massage techniques.

  How to become a massage therapist without medical education

  Many incorrectly believe that having a medical degree is a fundamental factor in the work of every massage therapist. However, this is far from the truth. Today, thousands of specialists in various parts of our country successfully cope with their duties, without having any medical education at all.

  After all, the truth is that the basics of mastery can be learned in special massage courses. At the same time, they are carried out in almost every city, with the exception of remote outbacks and small villages. Therefore, enrolling in such courses is as easy as shelling pears, if there is a desire to learn. Now about the advantages of such training:

  • First, it's availability. On average, the cost of training varies from 4 to 8 thousand rubles for the entire course. And thanks to this, everyone can accumulate enough funds to pass it.
  • Secondly, fast results. The basics of massage can be learned in 2-3 months, which allows you to start working in this specialty soon.
  • Thirdly, upon graduation, all graduates receive special certificates that allow them to officially work in this field.

  However, there are also disadvantages. And the main one is that the presence of such education does not give authority to conduct courses of therapeutic massage. And this greatly limits the list of places where the master can work, and also cuts his upper bar of monthly income.

  

  On the way to excellence

  The fact that you can become a massage therapist without a medical education is true. But in this case, you will have to come to terms with the fact that you will not be able to provide some types of services. For example, the same therapeutic massage, which is so in demand by the elderly.

  Therefore, it would be quite reasonable to talk about how to become a massage therapist with a medical background. Again, there are two paths here:

  • The first is to graduate or university, and then take masseur courses. Naturally, this option is best considered by those who have already received a diploma as a doctor or paramedic, since it is stupid to spend 4 years of your life just for the sake of obtaining this profession.
  • The second is to enroll in special preparatory classes for therapeutic massage. They are held at medical schools, universities, clinics or centers. However, it will take much longer to study here than in regular courses. But the end result fully justifies such costs.

  

  Choice of specialization

  It should be clearly understood that today there are a huge number of varieties of massage. Therefore, in order not to torment ourselves in the future with the question: “Why did I become a massage therapist in this particular area, and not in another?” Let's discuss the main areas of the profession.

  1. Cosmetic or The beauty of this direction is that it is not at all necessary for him to have a medical education. It is enough to complete a training course - and you can start looking for clients. In addition, over time, it is quite possible to improve your skills by choosing one of the narrow areas. For example, aromatic and energy massages are very popular today.
  2. Wellness. In this case, the healing properties of the procedures come first, which requires certain knowledge in medicine. No less important are the practical skills of a specialist, because, unlike cosmetic massage, any inaccurate movement can harm the patient. This is especially true when it comes to patients suffering from defects in bones or muscle tissue.
  3. Oriental. Although this is a relatively new direction for Russia, now it is in great demand. So, Thai massage parlors are opening today in many cities, and the list of their clients is truly impressive.

  

  How to become a massage therapist, or What will you have to learn?

  Regardless of which specialization a specialist chooses, he will still have to master the following basics:

  • general human anatomy;
  • basic hand massage techniques;
  • usage features vegetable oils and extracts;
  • rules of sanitary control in the workplace.

  

  A few words about practical skills

  So, masseur? The answer is quite simple: to be able to give an excellent massage. Alas, to achieve this, courses alone will not be enough. After all, they will not be able to give one important thing - practical skills. After all, no matter how hard teachers try, they simply cannot give due attention to all students.

  Thus, the fate of the students is in their own hands. In order to better consolidate the material covered, tirelessly repeat the lesson in practice. Fortunately, today few people will refuse a free massage session. In addition, you can always involve your relatives, friends or even neighbors in this process. And who knows, maybe in the future they will be your main customers.

  We talked about how to become a massage therapist, now it remains to understand where to look for work later. The good news is that you can even receive clients at home, the main thing is to get a massage table and some accessories and consumables (the same oils). At the same time, even a few receptions a day can quickly recoup the money invested in training.

  But for those who want to develop, it is better to think about working in a massage parlor. Thanks to the constant influx of customers, you can quickly gain practical skills, which will only play into the hands in the future. Well, if you have a medical education, then a private clinic or sanatorium will be an ideal place to work, since the level of payment here is the highest.

  

  How much do massage therapists in Russia earn

  Is it possible to become a massage therapist and still make little money? Of course you can, especially if you do nothing. After all, one of the main features of this profession is that each specialist himself determines the minimum threshold for his wages. So, working in the clinic, the master can easily receive additional clients during off-hours. Or, owning your own massage parlor, a person may well conduct preparatory courses in it or read seminars.

  As for the approximate figures, the minimum bar varies between 15-20 thousand rubles per month. A little? Yes, but, as practice shows, most good craftsmen work for much more money. So, their average figure in Russia stopped at around 45 thousand rubles a month. However, there are those who manage to earn from 80 to 90 thousand rubles. What is true, such an income requires maximum dedication from a person and innovative approach to the point. Dare!
