The KnotStressed Therapies Yoga Club in Edinburgh is excited to announce an upcoming event that is perfect for massage and bodywork students and practitioners. It's the 3-day FEDANT-accredited Pregnancy Massage Post Graduate Workshop! This incredible course is designed specifically for those who want to work with women during pregnancy and gain valuable knowledge and skills to enhance their massage practice.
During the workshop, participants will dive into the world of pregnancy massage and learn about important topics such as contraindications when working with pregnant clients and holistic approaches to supporting pregnant women. They will also discover how to safely adapt positioning, massage, and stretching techniques to meet the unique needs and demands of pregnancy.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore a variety of massage techniques, including Deep Tissue, Hands Free, Swedish Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Shiatsu, and Passive Stretching. These techniques can be used to address common issues experienced during pregnancy, such as back pain, nerve impingement, headaches, and musculoskeletal issues surrounding the pregnant pelvis.
To ensure a friendly and supportive learning environment, the course is limited to only 8 therapists. This allows for personalised instruction, giving participants the chance to fully understand and practice their techniques. The workshop is taught by experienced trainers Krista Black and Gabe Stewart, who have a wealth of knowledge and are passionate about sharing their expertise.
If you're interested in attending the Pregnancy Massage Workshop, here are the upcoming course dates: 9-11th February 2024, 17-19th May 2024, 9-11th August 2024, and 15-17th November 2024. Each day will run from 9.45am to 5.30pm with an hour's lunch break.
The cost of the 3-day workshop is £380, which includes VAT and a comprehensive set of photographic course handouts. KnotStressed Therapies also offers the option to pay in instalments over 6–8 months, making it easier for participants to book their spot.
Don't just take our word for it though, Nerys D. had this to say about her experience, 'If you are looking to train in Pregnancy Massage then don't go anywhere but here. This is without doubt one of the best courses I have ever taken, and I learned a wealth of techniques and information. The trainers have such a huge amount of experience and are so happy to share their knowledge. I cannot recommend them and this course enough.'
