What is the Seated Sympa massage

A simple method

  1. Making contact with the recipient
  2. Check posture and contraindications
  3. Massage begins: pressure at different frequencies and intensities
  4. Followed by stretching and sweeping movements.
  5. End of session: rapid, light percussive "clapping".

An effective method

The Massage sympa assis relieves tension and evacuates body blockages. You'll feel an immediate sense of relaxation and stress relief, as well as a feeling of serenity and energy.

It's the best massage for businesses, because it's quick, can be performed with clothes on, and doesn't require oil.

Contraindications

  • Pregnant women under 3 months
  • Trauma to the skeleton, muscles or tendons
  • Lesions (each lesion is specific, check with the practitioner).

Initiation to Seated Sympa massage

Skills to be acquired

  • Explain why structured touch is important and why permission and consent are at the heart of a well-given touch
  • Perform the complete sequence of Massage sympa assis safely and confidently on a seated person
  • Apply correct dynamic posture and weight transfer to work without fatigue
  • Perform the 15 techniques (shoulders, arms, hands, neck and scalp)
  • Recognize when massage is inappropriate and communicate clearly with the recipient about comfort and pressure
  • Continue to practice independently, thanks to the support materials provided

Pedagogical organization

With up to 13 participants, this course incorporates a partner rotation at the end of each module. Each rotation offers a new experience, both giving and receiving - and exposes everyone to a diversity of touch styles, body types and comfort levels.

This is one of the most valuable contributions of a face-to-face course, which an online course cannot replicate.

The rotation is announced by a simple instruction: "It's time to find a new partner." With 13 participants (7 pairs with the initiator), a standing circle rotation works very well: those giving stay in place, those receiving move forward one position clockwise.

This maintains the group's energy and avoids the potentially awkward social aspect of "choosing" partners.
