Hi there

I did the last course with them in London and would highly recommend them. We finished about 2 1/2 weeks ago and now have to do all my 100 practices.The coursewas excellent although it is very tiring as it is a long day 9 - 6. Michael was our trainer and he really knows his stuff and is an excellent teacher. The acupressure massage that you learn is to die for and they put a lot of emphasis on good body mechanics so that you dont get tired or injure yourself. The other students on my course were great and some of us are meeting up to practise. The venue in Kentish town was very clean and convenient (there is a great noodle bar nearby which we went to every lunchtime! Yummy) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the DVD we were given, the guy on there is so BORING, he puts me to sleep!

Hi B Holistic.

Touchpro are good. They're the original chair massage guys (chair massage was invented by David Palmer. Touchpro in the US is his company). But before you make a decision. please be sure to look at the diploma from [link=http://www.aosm.co.uk/OSM/workshop_5day.php]Academy of Onsite Massage[/link].

I looked at both and went with the Academy because on paper it I seemed to me that their diploma had that little bit extra.

The Academy's diploma includes an extra day of advanced techniques with a focus on enabling you to adapt your massage session to suit the needs of the client. This means you are not beholden to a sequence (so you can spend more time on one part of the body using a variety of techniques). This also means you can adapt the length of the treatment (from 10 minutes to 45 minutes). In addition they also teach you how to massage the face and legs in the chair. When bidding for a large corporate contract, often companies will trial a number of therapists before choosing one. I have found this adaptability to be invaluable.

Good luck. Please let us know which one you went with.

Warm regards

Henry
