Our Massage for Cellulite course (also known as anti-cellulite massage) teaches targeted manual techniques - and optional tool-assisted methods - to stimulate circulation, support lymphatic drainage and help reduce the visible signs of cellulite. You’ll build a clear understanding of how cellulite forms (including vascular and intercellular tissue changes and grading) so you can apply techniques confidently and ethically within a professional massage course framework.
Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll be fully equipped to integrate Cellulite Massage techniques into your existing massage practice.
To enrol on this Cellulite Massage course, learners must hold an OFQUAL-accredited Level 3 Diploma in Massage (or equivalent) that includes Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology.

A massage for cellulite (often called anti-cellulite massage) is a targeted body massage that focuses on areas commonly affected by cellulite, such as the thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen, using specific techniques to support circulation, tissue mobilisation and fluid movement.
At the London School of Massage, Massage for Cellulite is taught as a fast-track, intensive 1-day course.
It’s open to qualified therapists (Level 3 and above). Learners without prior experience can attend but receive a certificate of attendance only.
Benefits of Cellulite Massage include:
There is no single UK-wide statutory licence to practise massage as a profession. However, you may need a premises licence depending on where you work.
In London, many boroughs require a Special Treatment licence for premises offering massage and similar hands-on treatments, and it can be illegal to provide or advertise special treatments from premises without the required licence.
If you work in a spa/clinic, the business usually handles premises licensing—but you should still ensure you have appropriate training and insurance (commonly required by employers and professional registers).
