Hydrotherm Training

Hydrotherm courses will change your massage business. As part of our family, you will be able to take one of two routes on your Hydrotherm journey. Whether you opt for the anatomy-based Clinical route, or the restorative Spa & Holistic route, either one will provide you with the essential knowledge in Hydrotherm equipment setup and massage techniques, whilst allowing you to develop the skills that suit your business model.

Hydrotherm courses are taught online, either via our online training portal, or face to face via videocall. Please contact us to find out how your course is taught.

Spa & Holistic

The Hydrotherm spa route will provide you with the very best training in the essential, tactile, and experience-led Hydrotherm massages. As a beauty or holistic therapist, you want every second of your client’s experience to exude tranquillity.

Your spa or treatment room is their safe haven from the busy world outside, a place of rest and recuperation. Our one-day spa courses are specially designed to provide you with the core information and skills you need to use Hydrotherm and to deliver the most relaxing massage your client will ever experience.

Clinical

The Hydrotherm clinical route will introduce you to the precision of understanding required to deliver remedial treatments to solve your clients’ physical problems.

You’ll begin to grasp the key principles of treating those who come to you with injuries.

The course will inform you of how to think laterally and creatively about injury management, as well as the names of key muscles, how to locate and treat them, and how to continue your learning.

We provide 5 courses:

Hydrotherm Level One – S1

Hydrotherm Tranquil Sea, Massage for those with Cancer

Hands really can help heal. So many do not understand how physically arduous facing cancer can be, nor how draining the associated feelings of fear and loneliness can make it. Receiving a massage has been clinically proven to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, leading to greater feelings of wellbeing, contentedness and acceptance.

Crucially, you will learn that massage for those with cancer is perfectly safe, so long as a number of simple procedures and precautions are observed.

You will be shown how to provide a caring, informed massage which aims to alleviate symptoms of physical discomfort and emotional stress caused by conventional cancer treatments. There is simply no greater sign of compassion and care than that of offering emotional reassurance through touch.
