Relaxation Massage

Relaxation massage is one of the most commonly used therapeutic methods in cosmetology practices, massage studios, and spa centers. The treatment is focused on reducing muscular tension, improving lymphatic flow, and inducing deep calming of the nervous system. Regular massage sessions support the body’s regenerative processes, enhance overall well-being, and help restore natural physical and mental balance.

This lesson introduces participants to the principles of proper bodywork, including relaxation massage techniques, movement directions, treatment sequences, and adjustment of massage intensity to individual client needs. Special attention is given to work ergonomics, safety, and the comfort of the client.

The learning process includes theoretical instruction, video materials, step-by-step guidance, and a certificate of completion, preparing participants to independently perform relaxation massage in professional practice.
