Deep Tissue is a massage method that focuses on infiltrated musculature in the deeper muscle layers.

The therapist uses deep pressure and he or she works on the threshold of the pain threshold so that breathing plays a significant role.

Some of the massage grips are the same as those used in classical massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain to reach the sub-layers of muscles and fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles).

Deep Tissue massage techniques are particularly targeted at chronic muscle tension or injury, where there may be adhesions (painful, stiff tissue) in the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Adolescents can interfere with circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation.

Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist uses massage oil and often uses direct deep pressure. Muscles need to be relaxed for the therapist to reach deeper muscles.

Diploma: A certificate is given to each students after successfull completion of the course.

Accommodation: If the students come from far away, the school can recommend accommodation here:

Bed and breakfast: http://www.bbnaestved.dk/ (just write an email in English). Hotel Kirstine: http://hotelkirstine.dk/en

The school does not take responsibility for a teacher getting sick or for other reasons being forced to cancel the course. In this case, only the participant fee will be refunded.

It provided a unique platform to compete with the best massage therapists in the world and learn advanced techniques at the highest level.The professional exchange, the valuable feedback from the jury and the inspiring atmosphere have significantly expanded my skills. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to perfect their art and make international connections.A special thank you goes to Jeppe Tengbjerg, founder and CEO of the International Massage Association and organizer of the World Championships in Massage.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a massage seminar jointly organized by IMA Academy and Chiida Academy, and I must say it was a truly enriching experience. The seminar, led by a professional instructor, was a perfect blend of theory and practice, offering valuable insights into the art of massage therapy. The theoretical aspects covered were comprehensive and informative, providing a solid foundation of knowledge for all participants. From anatomy and physiology to various massage techniques and their applications, every aspect was explained with clarity and depth. It was evident that the instructor was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about imparting their expertise to the students. What truly stood out about this seminar was the emphasis on hands-on practice. Participants were given ample opportunities to apply the theoretical concepts they had learned in a supportive and nurturing environment. The instructor's guidance and feedback were invaluable in honing our skills and techniques. Moreover, I was impressed by the caring attitude and thoughtfulness shown towards the students throughout the seminar. From providing necessary materials to addressing individual queries and concerns, the organizers ensured that everyone felt valued and supported. I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Jeppe Tengbjerg for his exceptional leadership in making this seminar a resounding success. His expertise, patience, and genuine dedication to the art of massage therapy were truly inspiring.In conclusion, the collaborative effort between IMA Academy and Chiida Academy in presenting this massage seminar was commendable. It was a rewarding experience that left me feeling empowered and equipped with valuable knowledge and skills. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of massage therapy or embark on a career in this field.
