Chair massage

Just a query - what technique is learnt to give a chair massage? Is it acupressure or a type of massage?

It's a type of massage based on accupressure. Specific pressure points are worked during the course of the massage. Hope that helps!

Hi there star04,
I thought I'd elaborate on my previous reply, now that I'm not so manic. The techique that is used in chair massage is completed diferent to the holisitic/swedish massage. In chair massage you use thumb and elbow pressure applied to various acupressure points in the upper body and glutes. No oil is used and the client is fully clothed. It's a fairly short massage (15-30 minutes) and both relaxing and energising. I have no experience of acupressure so cannot say it compares. Hope that's more helpful.
All the best,
Ancona

Until January I am not qualified in Chair Massage, but here is what I understand.

There are essentially two ways of working in Chair Massage, Meridian based and Muscle based. They may both have the same effect, but they involve working the body in different ways.

In January I hope to do the Gerry Pyves No Hands Chair Massage course which is muscle based and wonderful to receive.
