Students in the newest class at Kneaded Energy School of massage began their studies on Monday, and they’ll get hands-on experience in short order.
Chair massage is one of the best ways for massage therapy students to both practice what they learn in school and promote themselves to potential clients when they begin working. It’s also a great, free way for the general public to experience massage.
KESM Students will be offering free chair massage on Saturday, Sept. 25th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for Skirt! magazine’s Pretty In Pink event to be held at the Shops at Westover. On Oct. 2, they’ll do the same at the Women’s Only 5K Walk/Run event on Oct. 2, 2010, from 8-11 a.m. This event is sponsored by and based on the campus of Women’s Hospital of Greensboro.
Working the chair massage events helps to prepare students to do hour-long massage sessions in their clinic classes. Clinic sessions are very similar to what they’ll be doing when they get certified as massage therapists and actually go to work, so it’s good practice. It’s also a good deal for those who want a massage, because clinic sessions are a bargain at $30 paid to the school, with no tipping allowed. For September, student clinic will be held on Monday and Tuesday evenings 4-9 p.m, Thursday and Friday mornings 9 a.m.-12 p.m, and Sundays 12-8 p.m.
This day class is full to capacity at 16 students. The night class scheduled to begin Oct. is on the way is filling up too.
