Korean Hand Massage
Korean Hand Massage
Korean Hand Massage is taught as a combined one long day course with Mongolian Koyashai Massage, therefore giving you two certificates in one day.
In Korea, this treatment is used by thousands of people to treat the minor ailments of themselves and their families and is a popular, simple to learn, and totally unique alternative to hand reflexology.
The philosophy behind Korean Hand Massage is that, like hand reflexology, specific areas and points on your hands correspond to specific areas and organs of your body. If you have a pain or problem somewhere in your body, you can find a corresponding tender point in your hand. As you massage that point, a soothing message will be sent to the corresponding area.
.In Korean Hand Massage, every joint in the hand represents a joint in the body and the therapy is an expecially good treatment for muscular-skeletal problems. Clients can be taught to continue the treatment at home.
The treatment is of a flexible length, giving the therapist more commercial scope. As well as Korean Hand techniques, the course also includes basic western massage techniques, which can be added as required to enhance the treatment.
