Why Foundations of Chair Massage Therapy?

Chair Massage Therapy is a highly effective, accessible, and versatile form of bodywork designed to deliver relaxation and stress relief in a seated position, without the need for oils or disrobing. It is widely used in workplaces, community events, wellness programs, and public settings.

This one-day professional workshop provides essential foundations for practitioners to confidently deliver safe, efficient, and client-centered chair massage sessions within a wellness-based, non-clinical scope of practice. Emphasis is placed on ergonomics, technique adaptation, time management, and professional presentation.

This workshop is ideal for Registered Massage Therapists, bodyworkers, wellness practitioners, and individuals interested in offering chair massage services in corporate, community, or mobile settings.

No prior chair massage experience is required.
