Detailed Hand Massage (7 hrs)
Detailed Hand Massage
7 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Maureen Abson
Hand massage is often treated as a small or routine part of a session, but when delivered with structure, precision, and flow, it can become a highly valuable treatment in its own right.
Detailed Hand Massage teaches a calm, methodical treatment sequence designed to help therapists work confidently across the palm, fingers, joints, and dorsal hand.
Presented by Maureen Abson, this course helps practitioners move beyond casual or routine hand massage and develop a more polished, professional approach to confident and effective hand treatment.
Course Overview
Across this 7-hour CE/CPD course, participants will learn how to deliver a structured and detailed hand massage treatment with greater confidence, precision, and professional flow.
The course explores how to establish contact, work systematically through the palmar surface, treat each finger with care, adapt pressure for the dorsal hand, and bring the whole treatment together with continuity and control.
Emphasis is placed on structure, precision, pressure control, rhythm, client comfort, and the professional delivery of a treatment that feels complete, considered, and effective.
Supported by practical video tutorials, a structured Clinical Companion Course, course workbook and learning materials, lesson quizzes, final exam, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a complete learning experience for therapists who want to refine and improve their hand massage work.
