On completion of the Swedish Massage Diploma course, or a qualification of a similar standard, it is possible to gain entry to the On-Site Massage Diploma course.

On-Site Massage therapy is adapted from a Japanese style of bodywork known as AMMA.

The aims of the On-Site Massage Diploma course are:

1. to train existing professional physical therapists in On-Site Massage Therapy, thus giving them an added dimension to their work.  On-Site Massage will provide the practitioner with a medium of massage that will increase clientele as well as taking practical skills to new levels.  Increased flexibility and versatility combined with effective marketing should expand the practice
2. the Seated Massage Therapy sequence (which is performed fully clothed) will assist in giving people who might not normally have considered Massage Therapy, the opportunity to experience its many benefits.

Insurance can be arranged through the Scottish Massage Therapists’ Organisation.

The course consists of four full days of tuition and is currently offered at the following venues: Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Inverness.
