About the course
Basic Massage Online Course is an inspiring introduction to Swedish classical massage. Learn straightforward, effective massage techniques that you can practise with friends and family, with guidance from Morgan Axelson, a qualified chiropractor, medical massage therapist and personal trainer.
The course covers the same subject matter as Axelsons Institutt’s Norwegian basic massage course, delivered in English. You will learn how to use simple, firm massage strokes and bring them together into a massage routine.
Who is this course for?
