"Massage Courses & Sports Massage Courses at the London School of Massage, the UK's most successful school for massage and body therapy training. Massage courses and training in London and throughout the UK"
Some of the massage courses and training we offer include:
To help get us started, we will assume that you are reading this because you want to become a Therapist ... of some sort. You may wish to simply become a Massage Therapist, or you may want to specialise in a particular massage such as Deep Tissue, Sports, Hot Stone or something even more specific. You may not even be sure just yet and that's ok - there's a whole world of therapies out there to choose from.
The following tabs help explain how to get started in each therapy at LSM, however please think of your first entry point being the VTCT (ITEC) Level 3 Diploma in Massage, Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology (A&P). This would be your professional, entry-level or gateway qualification to becoming a Massage Therapist. Once you have this accredited qualification a whole world of complementary therapies will open up to you. If you already have or are working towards a Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, you can, opt for the VTCT (ITEC) Level 3 Diploma in Massage only.
Some therapies don't need the Level 3 Diploma in Massage to get you started. For example, the Level 3 Award in Indian Head Massage course is a standalone, professional qualification that allows you to practice as an Indian Head Massage Therapist. It's a great 3-day introduction to the world of VTCT (ITEC) qualifications and providing massage for people.
Anyway, have a read of the following sections, jot down any questions you have, then give us a call to discuss in more detail. At LSM we're all professional Therapists, so we know starting out in the industry can be a confusing blur of information.
We're very happy to help, it's what we love doing!
