Therapeutic massage is used to help manage a health problem and improve well-being. This wellness profession involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body. Therapeutic massage is considered to be the simplest and oldest type of treatment. This therapy has been practiced regularly in most Eastern and Western cultures. It was one of the main treatments used by Roman and Greek physicians to relieve pain. Massage therapy has lost some of its value and status with the unsavoury image developed by massage therapy parlours. However, as people came to understand that massage can minimize illness and promote rest, this image faded. As people learned more about the benefits of therapeutic massage and its beneficial effects against illness, it became more appropriate and accepted. Therapeutic massage is now used in a variety of treatment models, including intense treatment models for children, elderly men and women, premature babies and clients with cancer, AIDS or stroke. Most hospitals offer therapeutic massage sessions. This type of massage is frequently offered in health care facilities and drug treatment clinics.

I have been training with Shane for sometime now, and have achieved great improvements in my strength, body shape, and self confidence. His encouragement has inspired me to do things I thought I couldn't do, and wouldn't have attempted without a trainer guiding me, because he creates an environment of trust and support. This has lead me to get better and quicker results and going it alone. Shane has a great setup, with a private gym and separate cardio and changing areas. Because you are never waiting for equipment the workouts are intense and precise. You also get the advantage of choosing your own music to work out too, and Shane is fun to work with so there is often a laugh or two along the way. I would highly recommend Shane to anybody contemplating engaging with a personal trainer.

I have experience in caring and relating to the elderly and find that these clients in particular benefit from the massage therapy I provide as well as the pedicures as often they cannot bend to do their own feet and the fact that I go to their homes is most convenient for them

Massage therapist: training and skills

In France, the diploma of masso-kinésithérapie is the only massage training recognised by the State. Therefore, it is preferable to follow advanced training in massage therapy to become a therapeutic masseur. However, there are many other training organisations that suggest training in therapeutic massage but their certificates are not yet recognised. In general, training to become a masseur-physiotherapist lasts 5 years, including 1 year of specific training (health) and 4 years of preparation in IFMK (Institut de Formation en Massage Kinésithérapie). Then, the training in IFMK is divided into two cycles of two years; the first cycle includes the fundamentals and the engineering of kinesitherapy and the different methodologies. The second cycle is the preparation for the profession. In terms of skills, a physiotherapist must be able to receive patients well and give them good advice. He/she must be attentive and adaptable to specialised audiences (pregnant women, children, elderly people, etc.). Mastery of emotion and stress management techniques is essential to be qualified in this profession. The massage therapist must be able to work in hospitals, spas, retirement homes and functional rehabilitation centres. Physical stamina is also essential as they often work on their feet.
