Diploma of Remedial Massage

Massage is the practice of influencing soft tissue by physical, functional, and in some cases psychological purposes and goals by accredited professionals. Massage involves acting on and inspiring the client’s body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary, andor moving), tension, motion, or vibration done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, andor organs. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm, and feet. (Source: Australian Association of Massage Therapists)
