Objectives
of the School
For Rhythmical Massage
Through lectures, discussion,
“hands on” practical work, and artistic activities, the student understands how
massage is enlivened by understanding health and illness from both a physical
and spiritual point of view. With this
new knowledge, the student will be able to devise and implement a Rhythmical
Massage treatment plan according to the individual needs of the patient and
have knowledge to refer clients to other health care providers when appropriate. The student is also introduced to other
anthroposophical medical therapies and prepared to work as a member of a
therapeutic team.
Courses
Offered at The
School for Rhythmical Massage
Classes are open to students who are currently licensed health care professionals in the state or country in which they reside.
Training consists of six four-week courses as well as
accompanying independent work, both theoretical and practical.
Throughout the training, the inner development of the therapist
is supported through a study of anthroposophy, including:
Spiritual understanding
of human anatomy and physiology
Spiritual understanding of the human being in health and
illness
Healing qualities of plants, essential oils, metals, and
minerals
Complementary therapies
Practice management and professional skills development
Regular artistic activities include movement four times a week
and painting, singing, or sculpture two times a week.
Completion of the courses will prepare the massage therapist to
offer therapeutic treatments for a wide variety of disorders and injuries based
on an in-depth spiritual understanding of the human being in health and
illness.
Following graduation, students are encouraged to participate in
the continuing education courses which are offered each summer by the
Rhythmical Massage Therapy Association of North America.
