Cert IV Massage

Certificate IV in Massage Therapy

Medical practitioners have come to recognise the potential of massage therapy, especially those diseases of civilisation in which stress has been implicated as a major factor. Traditional health care systems throughout the world recognise that massage can play an important part in preventing and treating illness. As the popularity of massage increases more opportunities are being identified for its use – from easing the discomfort of childbirth to providing emotional support for the aged and their near relatives.

Massage therapists work in a variety of work environments including private practice, mobile visiting practice, natural health clinics, beauty therapy clinics, health clubs and gyms, hospitals, hospices and nursing homes. These courses also offer a new and rewarding career for people who have come to a cross-road in their working lives and may be considering a new path to follow.

Our Goals for our Massage Training Programs

Cert IV in Massage Therapy provides students with the skills needed to provide relaxation massages and become a qualified massage therapist to work in private clinics and spas. Practitioners at this level may also be self-employed as independent practitioners or may work within a larger health service.

The goal of Aminya Natural Therapies Academy is to provide Massage training programmes that:

• • Bridge the gap between fields of modern medicine, complementary modalities and massage.
  • Enable you to train as a professional, competent, caring and empathetic therapist
  • Train you in the effective and safe practical application of massage techniques
