On-Site Massage, or Seated Acupressure Massage (SAM), is
a combination of ancient East Asian massage techniques and
more modern Western techniques. The massage has been devised
specifically for dealing with the stresses and strains of
the modern workplace, and to fit in with the modern working
environment. The massage lasts for up to 40 minutes covering
the back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, and head. The massage
requires no oils and is performed over the clothes in a specially
designed chair.
Course Content - What you
will learn
- History & Development of SAM
- Theoretical basis of Meridian Therapies
- The location and points of the 8 meridians used in SAM
- SAM sequence/kata of 40 minutes including additional
Thai techniques
- Client screening and practical aspects of workplace massage
Course Entry Requirements
& Pre-requisites
The course is taught without the need for specific anatomical
knowledge, however to practise professionally in the UK, as
a member of a recognised governing body, it is essential to
have a recognised qualification in Anatomy & Physiology and
Massage. Candidates who wish to study for personal development
and not to practise professionally may attend the course,
but will be exempt from formal assessment and case studies.
Course Duration
This is a 2 day course with a follow up assessment day
Assessment
- Written Theory Assessment (exam conditions)
- Practical Observation
- Case Study Completion—(further explanation will be given
during the course).
The Examination Body
As there are no National Occupational Standards for Seated
Acupressure Massage, the course is assessed internally to
accepted National Standards of Assessment. The FHT (Federation
of Holistic Therapists) recognise our qualifications, along
with many other governing bodies.
Further Study
This is an ideal massage for therapists to gain corporate
work or event/exhibition work. Further related study in Meridian
therapies would be the Tui Na course. Or if you enjoy some
of the Thai techniques incorporated by LSTM then Thai Massage
is for you.
