Learning objectives of the therapeutic massage training

The training in therapeutic massage (EMR method 33) aims to train you to become a competent, responsible and holistic therapist. You will learn how to treat people with various physical complaints professionally and how to use health-promoting measures in a targeted manner.

The following learning objectives are pursued as part of the Therapeutic Massage certificate course:

• Basic medical and social science training: You will acquire a sound knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and psychology in order to correctly classify complaints and create treatment plans.
• Understanding health and prevention: You will develop a holistic understanding of health, learn to work preventively and accompany clients in their healing process.
• Ethics and professional ethics: You will learn how to deal responsibly with your therapeutic role, recognize boundaries and treat clients with respect.
• Practice management and self-management: The training provides you with the basics for setting up and organizing your own practice, including documentation, billing and communication with health insurance companies.
• Specialist therapeutic training: You will deepen your practical skills in the three central methods - classic massage (EMR method 102), foot reflexology (EMR method 81) and manual lymphatic drainage (EMR method 111).

At the end of the course, you will be able to carry out treatments independently, create individual therapy plans and provide professional care for your clients. You will thus meet the requirements for an EMR-recognized job in the field of therapeutic massage and lay the foundation for a successful career in the healthcare sector.
