Advanced Semi-Private Evening Massage Courses

students learn how to improve scapulae Up/Downward Rotation

2 Hour Evening Training on Key Topics for Massage Therapists

We understand that professional practitioners are all different and have specific needs, which is why we created evening courses to support students already enrolled in one of the primary daytime courses.

2 hours from 17:00 to 19:00, in semi-private settings, covering key topics.

The semi-private coaching sessions will help you get a deeper understanding of certain aspects of the material we offer. You will be able to more fully learn the topics taught in the main courses ( Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release with Stretching ) in a shorter period of time.

Ask Hiro to help you decide which evening course might be most beneficial for you.

You can also let him know that you are interested in one or more of them, of course. You may just find that you both have the same idea ;-)

These semi-private courses provide in-depth instruction in postural correction and develop skills to address specific problems with precision and care:

Postural Correction Massage Course

Posture assessment and palpation determine the direction of the postural massage

Postural Correction Massage Course for Poor Posture

It is not by coincidence that Hiro and RSM offer this course:

Hiro created a much appreciated posture correction program for his patients in Chiang Mai, about which you can find all the details at: www.posturecorrection.studio

The RSM Posture Improvement Massage Course begins with a static postural diagnosis. Using palpation techniques, it evaluates muscle tension, pain, and the effect of skeletal structure on posture changes.

Since static postural assessments often fail to capture the fluid movement of joints, RSM emphasizes dynamic postural analysis. Observing treadmill walking patterns and dynamic posture stability are examined to gain a deeper understanding of one's kinetic chain.

You will then learn how to tailor the massage to provide a proper treatment.

Throughout the course, the focus is on the practical application of skills gained in the RSM Functional Anatomy Course and the three primary massage courses. This hands-on approach ensures that participants can effectively apply the techniques learned in these foundational courses.

YOGA Posture Correction Massage Course

Palpation techniques to understand where muscle tension is present in yoga postures

Learn Yoga Posture Assessment

Many yoga practitioners often perform poses with compensatory movements due to differences in joint range of motion between the left and right sides, as well as pain.

Specifically, training without addressing these compensatory movements and pain can lead to overall muscle imbalances and the development of unnecessary movement habits in the future. Dissatisfaction with one's movements may result in reduced mental focus, such as feeling negative about your body, potentially triggering future physical pain.

This course teaches you how to apply functional anatomy, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and stretching techniques taught by RSM to correct your yoga postures. These techniques equip you with the essential knowledge and skills to become a more advanced yoga practitioner and a trusted yoga instructor.

Sports Massage Course

Understand the Athlete's Movements, and Create an Effective Massage Treatment Plan

Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that can help athletes enhance their performance, prevent injuries, and recover from training and competition.

To be effective, sports massage therapists need to understand the athlete's biomechanics and how they may be impacting muscles, joints, and overall performance.

At RSM, our sports massage courses provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to assess an athlete's movement patterns and develop an effective massage treatment plan. By understanding the athlete's unique needs and goals, sports massage therapists can create customized treatment plans that target specific muscles and address any imbalances or weaknesses.

Our courses cover a range of techniques and modalities, including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and assisted stretching, giving students a comprehensive understanding of sports massage therapy. With the right training, sports massage therapists can play an essential role in helping athletes achieve their full potential while minimizing the risk of injury.

Applied YOGA Massage Course

Compression stretching to improve hip range of motion

Applied YOGA Massage Course for Pain Relief and Postural Realignment

The yoga massage taught at RSM focuses on a series of effective yoga postures designed to enhance flexibility, specifically targeting core muscles, hips, shoulders, and the spine.

The therapist chooses from techniques such as myofascial release, deep tissue massage, or trigger point therapy, based on the end-feel experienced at the limit of each joint's range of motion. This approach allows them to provide the most suitable massage for the client, which in turn improves joint mobility, particularly in the spine, elevating one's yoga practice.

In addition to the functional anatomy taught at RSM, a yoga-specific functional anatomy course offers a set of massages tailored to improving yoga postures.

Remedial Massage Course

Students learn how to improve scapulae up/downward rotation

Remedial Massage Course for Effective Pain Release and Posture Correction

Remedial massage is a therapeutic type of massage designed to address specific musculoskeletal problems and injuries.

By learning remedial massage at RSM, you can expect to gain several benefits, using various techniques to manipulate soft tissues for pain relief and posture improvement.

As you learn and practice these techniques, you'll develop your therapeutic skills and become more confident in addressing musculoskeletal issues. These techniques are highly beneficial because the course focuses on understanding the cause of pain and how to treat it.

Through numerous case studies, students learn a variety of massage and stretching methods, making this course accessible to massage therapists, yoga teachers and sports trainers.
