Mastering Chair Massage

Diana is a good presenter. She explains well and is easy to understand. I found it helpful that she used the skeleton to show exact locations of the muscles and bones. I will definitely use the techniques in this course in my chair massage sessions.

Loretta Brown, LMT

I'm a slow reader and usually lose interest fairly quickly so I liked that I could read but also have my chair set up and practice at the same time. I really like that there was also a dvd.

Karen Mullen, LMT, NCTMB

Very professional and up to date material. Good enough to implement into a massage school curriculum.

Course was great. I learned more than I expected to, and also gained a few techniques I can use in table massage practice as well. The Business section was really good too, it gave lots of insight into marketing for chair massage which was helpful.

Lauren Hogeboom, RMT

The course "Mastering Chair Massage" surpassed my expectations. I have never taken an online course that was as thorough. The work books and dvd were excellent in both substance and presentation.

Eunice Graham, LMT, NCTMB

Have taught and practiced massage, to include chair massage for many years. Learned a few new approaches. Really liked the Scapula triangle hold. For the most part, the instructor provided good instruction with good demonstrations. However I was surprised to see so much work being done by moving the thumb only. She did show how to do supported thumb, but my thoughts are that since thumb injuries are one of the most common injuries by LMT's, I would reconsider teaching someone to do work such as cross fiber friction by using the thumb only. If the work was being done by moving the body instead of the thumb, that was not shown on the screen. Also I really like the information in the chair massage text book. That will be a great source for me in my future practice.

Jim Dunaway, LMT

Great. Loved the included course books and DVD.

Vanessa Elder, LMT

Very informative, easy to read, I learned some new techniques. Would recommend this course to anyone interested in Chair Massage

James C. Roldan, LMT, NCTMB

This was a great course with techniques that I will definitely be using, not only with my chair but also with my table. Very comprehensive.

Patricia Hansen, LMT

This class was a great review of chair massage. It has been about 10 years since I was in school and learned this material. I use chair massage as volunteer time for my practice and I needed this course to enrich my skills.

Barbara A. Johnson, LMT

Thanks, I put the knowledge to use immediately, both in a chair and on the table.

Christine Shipton-Hill, LMT, NCTMB

I really enjoyed this course, it was very informative and very well presented. Clear and to the point. I'm very interested to see the other courses you offer. I am impressed. Have been practicing for 17 years now, this course is good!

Jenny Raety, LMT

Overall, this course was superb. Extremely detailed, covering everything from types of massage chairs to business and marketing. All this was backed up by and excellent DVD. Good job!

Gilbert H. John Sr., CMT, BCTMB

The material was clear and the video was very useful.

Sara Capparelli, LMBT

The material provided was excellent. I learned so much. Being a business owner, I learned a lot to enhance my massage business. I would highly recommend this course to everyone.

Rosemarie Duncan, LMT

It was an excellent course and the test preparation helped me a lot. I liked the video demonstration. Each step of massage was very clear, understandable, very polite and nice communication and timing. I am very thankful to the instructor Diana Haynes.

Sushil Ahuja

wow, this was a very comprehensive course!! A ton of material, well done!

Linda Martinek Delande, LMT, BCTMB

Very nicely done. Learned new strokes for my practice . It is nice to learn new techniques to keep massages fresh & interesting for long time clients.

Gail K. Berton, LMT

I found this course to be exceptional! The chair massage text provided an enormous amount of information presented in a clear & well-organized format. The course manual & DVD "Mastering Chair Massage" were excellent. Diana Haynes provides very clear & precise information and demonstrations that enhance the textbook learning, and both are valuable guides for hands-on technique and session sequencing. All course materials are great resources to support further study & review. This is an essential course for massage therapists to broaden their skills & services. Site note: Even though I spent extra time studying this course, the 9 ceus awarded for this course may not be enough. It may need to be re-evaluated as a 12 CEU course.
