Description
Massage is a profession, which includes various kinds of massages. Each one of them hiding an entire philosophy. The basic massage is the 1st part of the spa massage and is also taught in the Aesthetics program. It begins with basic anatomy knowledge that is essential for proper understanding of the body and proper application of all kinds of massages to the client. A lot of emphasis is given on the anatomy.
Furthermore, there is the Swedish massage which basically includes plenty of moves that can be applied to a relaxing massage. Anatomy and familiarity with Swedish massage are the basis for the development of the professional masseur.
At Anko academy this year, we carefully selected 12 massage techniques that cover the needs of even the most demanding Spa. The student will acquire complete knowledge and familiarity with these techniques without being given a simple presentation.
