Modern life now exposes us to every day wear and tear on muscles, tendons and ligaments. RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are far more prevalent today due to repetitive movements and continuously using our hands and arms.
This wonderful massage offers restorative and beneficial techniques.
Helps to assist in reducing muscle fatigue and aches and pains, whilst increasing joint mobility.
This course is not only popular with the complementary therapist but appeals to beauticians and nail technicians who can add this therapy to their current treatments. In addition the course offers self-help techniques, enabling the therapist to utilize these for their own self-care.
Korean Hand Therapy is practised in many eastern and oriental countries; gaining more popularity over the last 20 years. In Korean Hand Therapy the human body is mapped out on the hands, similar in concept to the reflexology map of the foot.
The numerous functions of the body can be stimulated by pressing on specific points on the hand. These can assist in reducing pain and assist with a host of health issues whilst balancing the body’s energy systems. There are 14 micro-meridians and 345 acupressure points in our hands which regulate the internal organs of the body.
Hands contain many thousand sensory nerve endings which makes them one of the most sensitive areas of the body. The Chinese developed the technique of acupressure thousands of years ago which provided the basis for reflex zones and the relative points and connections between different parts of the body.
It is well documented that the early Chinese, Japanese, Indians and Egyptians worked on the hands and feet to promote good health. Many of the long-established principles developed then are now available in modern practice.
It is an excellent therapy for those not wishing to offer a full body massage and it is wonderfully beneficial to offer to the elderly or to those whose mobility is impaired, for use in care and residential homes.
On this Hand, Arm, Leg and Feet Massage Course, you will also learn some therapeutic stretches and movements taken from Thai massage to aid total relaxation. Helps to assist in reducing muscle fatigue and aches and pains whilst increasing joint mobility.
This is a one day practitioner course. You do NOT need a certificate in Anatomy & Physiology (A & P) to attend.

We are passionate about ensuring you receive excellent training with professional and friendly tutors providing tuition in an easy to learn format to make sure your day is special.
Why is our course so popular?
This is because the certification we give you allows a student to work with which ever particular brand they choose to purchase later and use with their clients.
Importantly as we teach effective and safe methods with products our tutors love to use but do not insist on the students who attend to have to continue with any one given brand afterwards to gain insurance and use what they have learned with us professionally.
This then allows students to make their own choice of brand and also means that they are not tied by any particular brand when it comes to their insurance, so should they ever have a problem and if a claim is made and they have changed brand, they would still be covered (please check this with your insurance provider) giving you a lot more flexibility.
This also means you are not tied into buying brands from us which is very restrictive which only makes the school you are buying them from money but does not benefit you. This means the certificate you gain with us gives you the freedom to use what ever brand you wish, the tutors can guide you to good products but ultimately it is your choice!

Feedback from Kailah Eglington
The course is very informative and we learned a great deal on the day. The practical aspect of the course is excellent as not only do you see the techniques firsthand but there are many opportunities during the day to practice them. Combined with easy teaching style, her sense of humour was a fun, educational and memorable day! I would highly recommend this course and this tutor.
I have done courses with you before and I prefer the practical way of teaching that they employ. I am very much more a visual and "doing" person so prefer this type of hands-on course. The small size of the classes is equally important as you really do get individual attention and the tutors I have worked with are all excellent.
Feedback from Katharine Howells
My tutor was a natural and genuine person. Very patient and understanding. Unconditional, non-judgemental and projects only positive energy. Passionate about her work and training. Cares about her students. Very good communication. Clear and precise teaching, very easy to follow and understand. Also has the awareness to be able to sense where each individual is at in their understanding of their training, she differentiates and supports each person, adapting to their needs, a lovely personality and I would love to do more training with her.
What made me decide to book with Gateway
In a nutshell, my inner gut feeling, was very positive. Your website, felt to me to be very authentic and self empowering. The language you used was direct and honest. You do what it says on the tin. And it seems like you have a mission, and I think, even know, you have succeeded. Brilliant.
Feedback from Mierra
Another fantastic lesson the people, the atmosphere within the class was serene, peaceful and amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this particular class. As before, answered all questions, readily gave information to help. A superb tutor, very positive and helpful.
I have successfully completed three courses with Gateway Workshops, I have a further two booked. The tutors are amazing, the class is small which makes it easier to focus and concentrate on what is being taught. The hands on practical is fantastic!
