Description

Introducing you to Indian head massage, the course shares its origins, development, and benefits, along with introducing you to Ayurveda and the chakras.

You need to be aware of the different body structures you’ll work with, so you’ll learn about skin, bones and muscles, along with the blood and lymphatic systems. The course also covers the contraindications to Indian head treatment that therapists must be aware of, the different skin and hair types that you may come across, and postural faults that you should be able to identify in clients.

You’ll be guided through the client consultation process and how to set up and prepare for treatment. We’ll learn the movements and techniques of a full Indian head massage and what to discuss with your client after the treatment.

The course concludes with a look at how to keep clients and the working environment safe by adhering to health, safety, and hygiene guidelines.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
