Walmer College & Holistic Centre HOME

The syllabus will include On Site Massage routine for Chair Clients and in addition will incorporate Stress Management Module. The
Stress management aspect is significant in helping clients totally relax during the Chair massage and indeed any other treatment that
you currently offer. It will give the client something extra to take away from the treatment, allowing the effects of the treatment to
continue in the days or weeks that follow.

Apart from the physical benefits of the massage itself, it has proven to be a source of relaxation for the client. Whether its 5 mins or
half hour session, the benefits of switching off the mind and relaxing the body are plentiful. The beauty of Chair Massage is its simple
message that massage can make you feel better, whatever that means to you, anytime you want. You don't have to be sick or
enlightened or wealthy to appreciate its benefits.

The act of giving a chair massage is extremely comfortable for the Therapist and as a result their posture and stamina is fully protected
and sustained. You can literally bring your chair massage to any client and it has been discovered that many chair massage clients of
today go on to become your table clients tomorrow.

During the course will will look at the various ways in which we cope with stress and explore the areas of Meditation, Colour Therapy,
the use of Crystals, Energy Awareness, Relaxation Techniques, changing our thoughts and becoming more aware of how we respond to
our stressful situations.
