Course details
In recent the global demand for seated chair massage service is very sought after because of its therapeutic advantages and its adaptability to the modern fast-paced lifestyle. Seated chair massage is performed by using a chair, stool or special designed adjustable massage chair, without the need to undress unlike other classical massage.
The origin of seated massage is unknown, but the ancient Japanese woodblock print depicts the Japanese sat on the stool to enjoy the massage scene. On the other hand, Russian Sports Massage therapist used chair or stool leaning against the bed to massage athletes. In the 1970s and 80s, seated massage was popularized by American masseur David Palmer who was as the founder of modern Seated Chair Massage. He started seated acupressure-based massage program, and developed the world's first commercial massage chairs with designer Serge.
