The art of massage has been around for centuries – for relaxation and healing – such as the relief of numbness, tingling, and stiffness by applying pressure to areas of your hand/body.

You will learn how to do a step-by-step self-hand massage (can also be done with a partner). 

By the end of the workshop, you will have knowledge of massage and how to perform a hand massage to yourself and others, covering Health and Safety and the history behind this relaxing art.  You will also gain an understanding of the physical and mental benefits gained from massage.
