Overview

: £329Write a short description, that will describe the title or something informational and useful.

Special populations describe individuals who are vulnerable due to their medical conditions, impairments, or life stage. These may include babies, seniors, pregnant women and people with disabilities or diseases. Because special populations have particular needs and requirements, proper delivery of massages that are tailored to suit their health, situation and life stage is an essential job for massage therapists or body workers.

Fortunately, massage for special populations is not difficult to provide. This course is intended to equip aspiring or practicing massage therapists and body workers with all the information they need to expand their knowledge about special needs massage and develop their skills in providing quality care to clients.

Students who will take this course shall have better understanding of: (a) various massage techniques and how to perform them effectively; (b) stress management approaches for people with terminal illnesses and learning difficulties; (c) keeping client and personal safety while administering massages; (d) various essential oils and their proper usage in massage therapies; and (e) the business side of special needs massage therapy.

Description

The course is integrated with interactive materials, allowing for better presentation of the topics discussed within. Students shall undergo assessments throughout the duration of the course to check their progress and ensure knowledge retention.

Although massages are designed to provide relief against pain, stress and a number of other conditions, not all the techniques and methods available are suitable to all people. Special populations, in particular, have unique massage requirements that must be taken into consideration before they are given one. In this sense, helping you understand how to deal with these clients and knowing how to modify massage techniques and approaches to meet their needs by taking this course are the first steps toward providing quality and comforting massage to special populations.

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.
