Massage for Special Needs

Massage for Special Needs

Massage is now accepted as being one of the finest ways of relieving tension in the human body, however, it is not generally thought of in terms of those with special needs.

The course will not only provide tuition for the able-bodied individual to work with those with either physical or mental special needs, but will also look at the ways that those with special needs can learn and practice massage themselves.
