Pull Up a Chair: Jumozy Presents Online “Full Body Chair Massage” Continuing Education Course

Relax and pull up a chair. In Jumozy’s Full Body Chair Massage online course (5.5 CE Hrs.), learn from expert massage therapist, Meade Steadman, the in’s and out’s of full body chair massage: techniques, equipment, and how to generate business.

This comprehensive NCBTMB-approved course includes visual, step-by-step video demonstrations of seated massage techniques and how to provide a full body massage as well as address specific complaints: headaches, kinked necks, aching shoulders and back, and carpal tunnel. Steadman also touches on different chairs, tools and setup, dealing with business attire, history, benefits and contraindications, tips for getting started, traveling light, marketing, building your professional practice, and other professional concerns. This course covers everything a massage therapist needs to know to make a living doing chair massage. It’s Chair Massage 101.

The popularity of chair massage has grown over the years. Once called the “Executive Mini Massage,” chair massage is now found in malls, on scenic overlooks, conventions, tradeshows…wherever people gather. According to the American Massage Therapy Association, chair massage is one of the top five modalities being offered.

Portability is one of its attractions for therapists, allowing practitioners to reach people beyond the spa or simply to avoid fixed overhead costs. Steadman also notes that “You can incorporate whatever modality you’re comfortable with: Swedish, Touch for Health, Shiatsu…”

The course is broken down into small, manageable units, with quizzes to test and reinforce knowledge. Video footage pulled from the award-winning The Complete Guide to Full Body Chair Massage (produced by Aesthetic VideoSource) breaks up text with discussions and demonstrations of the procedure. At the end of the course, upon satisfactory assessment scores, students can immediately print out a certificate of achievement.

Student feedback has been positive, speaking to the quality of information, presentation, organization, and overall user friendliness:

“Overall I think the instructor had great knowledge and passion for the subject and I enjoyed it very much.” Anne H.
