10 Day Raynor Massage Diploma Course
The Diploma Course can be undertaken in one two week period, or the first 5 days of the Certificate program can be completed first, and the remaining 5 days completed some time in the future.
For the description of the first 5 days of this massage course see Massage Certificate course information.
Day Six
Day 6 of the massage diploma course will involve a role play of a
full practitioner/client interaction from taking a case history to
doing a full massage to suit the client’s needs within a certain
length of time. There will be a valuable discussion period after this
treatment where any areas that a student needs to improve will be highlighted.
This will give the student an idea of the areas that they need to focus
on in the next 4 days of the course.
Day Seven
On Day 7, the teacher will introduce the use of aromatherapy oils to the massage treatment. He/she will cover the use of 8 to 10 commonly used aromatherapy oils, how to diagnose which ones are suitable for particular clients and their contraindications. You will then explore their use during practice with both deep tissue massage and also lighter massage.
Day Eight
Day 8 of the diploma course will be the reflexology course day. We will learn the reflexology areas of the feet and the hands. You will explore the importance of the feet and hands in massage and how they affect and benefit the whole treatment. The zone theory of reflexology and the use of reflexology charts will also be discussed.
Day Nine
Day 9 of the course will
concentrate on the specific aspects of face and scalp massage and the
use of acupressure points in the head to help alleviate stress, tension,
headaches, neck problems and the relationship between releasing tension
in the head and the effect this has in helping release the emotional
tension stored in the belly and chest.
Day Ten
Day 10 of the Massage diploma course will involve any final revision necessary, as well as a 50 point assessment which will grade each student on the following qualities: empathy, communication, techniques, professionalism, correct pressure, and overall effect. The last day of the massage course we will also invite friends and families of the students to the class to get a massage from a fellow student.
The students will also be graded on their understanding of the role of the patient in 3 categories of communication, understanding the importance of breathing with a practitioner, and proper understanding and appreciation of the benefits of massage.
This course also involves between 20 and 40 hours of take-home work as well, and will involve a written test on aspects of professional practice such as hygiene, professional ethics, the meridians of acupressure, contraindications and the strategies of massage treatment covered during the course.
I completed the Diploma course, and it was a fantastic experience. It transformed my life on many levels , I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to expand their knowledge of massage to a whole new level.
