Certificate of Pregnancy Massage

Discover the many benefits of massage during pregnancy

Pregnancy is a very special time in a woman’s life that creates significant physiological, structural, and psychological changes. Understanding these changes will help you, the massage therapist, to determine the outcome of your treatment. It will give you the confidence and guidance to apply appropriate therapeutic massage to your pregnant client.

During the course you will study the application of massage for pregnant women, and the appropriate techniques and style of application suitable for each trimester. You will discover how beneficial massage is during pregnancy and beyond.

This course offers in-depth insight into how to support women through pregnancy and beyond. We will review in great detail specific conditions, including high-risk pregnancies, and the implication of massage. Our focus is to support all women and reduce the more complex discomforts experienced in pregnancy. We will develop your awareness of the benefits of massage through the perinatal journey from pre-conception to pregnancy to labour and birth and onto postnatal support.

During the course you gain a greater insight into the complex body and system changes happening through pregnancy, labour and postnatal.

We will explore your own emotive feelings towards pregnancy, labour and beyond so you can apply practical tools to support all clients with empathy and understanding. You will explore your own self-development as a pregnancy massage specialist.

By the end of the course you will have developed the confidence and knowledge needed to treat pregnant women throughout their journey into motherhood and beyond.

We will review in greater detail high-risk conditions unique to pregnancy and how to treat each of these conditions through each trimester.

Rocktape’s taping protocol is quickly becoming the standard for kinesiology taping in the medical industry.  The Rocktape courses are Australia’s most popular kinesiology tape courses.  In 2014 we conducted in excess of 60 full and half day courses, attended by more than 1,500 people.  Why the interest?

Unlike other methods, Rocktape’s taping protocol is based on an ‘open-source’ philosophy; we don’t believe there’s only one right way to tape.  We welcome applications and techniques that others have developed.  This community based approach to taping integrates concepts from all other methods and provides a framework for the practitioner to determine the best approach.

We have now developed several different options to provide education about kinesiology taping.

1. The full day courses remain our principal method of introducing the concept of kinesiology taping to the majority of practitioners, as well as teaching them the concepts of “Power Taping”, utilising the benefits of kinesiology taping to tape the muscles associated with a particular activity, linking the muscles of the appropriate kinetic chain, ie lower back, hamstring and calf muscles that make up the posterior chain.  Investment – $290, or $190 for under graduate students.
2. Our half day courses are attractive to busy practitioners, and those that are just keen to learn the basic principles of kinesiology taping.  These courses focus on the more commonly used Rocktape applications within the three categories of regional taping, oedema taping and postural control.  Investment – $150, or $95 for under graduate students.
3. Rocktape 2 – a full day course for practitioners wanting to learn more kinesiology taping techniques, and have a more in depth look at the various Power Taping applications.  This course is designed for those who have already completed one of our standard courses, or who are regular users of kinesiology tape.  Investment – $290, or $190 for under graduate students.
4. New in 2015 is Rocktape Equine – we offer both a full day course covering kinesiology taping applications for both the human and horse, and a half day course focusing on how to assist performance and recovery, during and post competition.  Investment – $390.

All courses have a significant practical component which allows an opportunity for the attendees to attempt taping numerous applications, which is important given it is quite different to rigid tape techniques.  This ensures they feel confident enough to start using Rocktape with their clients when next in the clinic, gym or sports change rooms, and they have many application ideas to use.

Testimonial

Hi Kaye.

I’d like to pay you a complement regarding the online reflexology course content, I am undertaking.
Even though, l didn’t complete my reflexology diploma, due to illness some time ago, I still benefited from a year of study and clinical practice.
The course you offer, is very precise and covers very much so, the important fundamentals and principles of reflexology. You most certainly have delivered a well rounded very informative course.
I’m very happy with both, reflexology and Indian head massage content study material I am undertaking.
Cheers and regards. Thank you.
Trish Diehl.

ONE DAY A WEEK WITH QUALIFICATIONS IN 12 MONTHS.

We have small class sizes to ensure optimal learning is achieved, and
our blended learning approach means theory and videos of the techniques
are online, practical classes are held in condensed workshops - the
morning classes consist of practical and the afternoon session is
clinic. Webinars with the tutors are held fortnightly to enhance the
learning experience.

We have had great success with this method which enables students to
tailor when and how they learn.

We also offer 12 month post course support which NO OTHER Registered
Training Organisation provides to provide graduates with access to
Trainers and Assessors in their first year of practice with their new
skills.  They can also drop into 4 classes the following year to refresh
if required.

Classes start first week of March - enrolment closes 9th February.

Certificate:  Of completion in Traditional Thai Massage, recognized by MAA

Objectives: This intensive course covers three levels of training in Thai Yoga massage:

Every day starts with an hour and a half Yoga class and continues with the Thai Massage component.

The first 2 weeks provide students with the practical skills to perform the traditional sequence in 4 positions: front, side, back and sitting; with the addition of a very specific understanding on how to use the body, the weight and the direction of pressure.

This includes:

•        working rules;

•        precautions and techniques;

•        use of thumbs, palms, feet, elbows and knees;

•        energy line work on the arms, legs and back from all the above positions;

•        pressure points of feet, hips, lower back, shoulders and neck;

•        sequence of stretches to unblock energy throughout the whole body.

The 3rd week consists of 5 days of supervised practice to consolidate the information learnt in the previous two weeks so to make it easier to focus on your own body mechanics and postural alignment.

Students will:

•        deepen their knowledge of the meridians of both arms and legs;

•        practice both level I and II again;

•        practice stretches they are not yet comfortable with on the teacher;

•        prepare a  sequence that they will perform on external people on the last day.

Classes are limited to 8 students, so that individuals receive complete professional training and personal attention.

Certificate of Attendance or Competency in Modernised Indian Head Massage

Provide something different and unique for your clients.

Adding this new technique to your repertoire is a must for every massage therapist. A scalp and/or face massage is adored by many. Watch as your clients begin requesting longer sessions to specifically include this treatment at the end.

This blend still follows the ancient Indian style but also uses other modern techniques which are well suited for people in our modern fast paced lives. Its benefits are unquestioned.

 The Modernized version of this massage is a combination of Traditional style and more modern techniques to have a more therapeutic approach. The major differences are;

·  The client is lying flat on the massage table (this allows you to provide the massage as an "add on" to their normal therapy).

·  Two variations are taught in the Modern version, the traditional relaxation as well as a deeper more therapeutic version.

About CPE Made Easy
As a clinical therapist, I was frustrated about the lack of ongoing clinical and business education out there available to me. I was busy caring for my clients as well as trying to maintain a social lifestyle (well, trying to anyway). Quality workshops and conferences were few and far between, and really expensive. I have a strong passion and desire to improve my knowledge to increase the care I can deliver to my clients, hence this is how CPE Made Easy was born. CPE Made Easy is system of educational webinars delivered direct to your computer or iPad each fortnight over the year and gives you around 24 hours of direct continuing professional education. The CPE Made Easy website also has a library of completed webinars which you can watch at your convenience to add extra points or simply to increase or refresh your knowledge.

Paediatric Massage Volunteer Program with AIDS orphans in Vietnam

Spend three weeks providing paediatric massage, infant massage and other forms of bodywork to AIDS orphans in Ho Chi Minh City.

Massage is of particular benefit to these children, because of its immune system- strengthening effect. It also promotes their general well-being by providing relief from pain and anxiety and helping meet their emotional and developmental needs through one-on-one nurturing attention and touch.

During the program, volunteers get a tremendous amount of hands-on experience of providing massage to children. Although the program's focus is primarily on caring for AIDS orphans, volunteers also spend some of their time offering massage to orphans with disabilities.

CPE points : 30
