Massage Course Curriculum: Professional Massage Training in Nepal:

Mandala School has a unique, different and effective massage therapy program where you get the right education and skills.

With various study covering many educational institutions, we have established a solid foundation in massage therapy and curated a training program in the six most popular forms of massage therapy, each grounded in its own distinctive philosophy, understanding the origins and principles of each therapy and studying the benefits, risks and safety rules for proper practice.

During the course, we lead you through a transformative learning journey into the world of healing, touch and therapeutic practice. Our approach goes far beyond teaching techniques. We help you understand how and why massage supports the body and how it can be used to address everyday discomforts, imbalances and common ailments.

You will also receive clear, practical instruction in the use of Ayurvedic oils and herbal remedies, gaining insight into which natural ingredients support specific issues such as muscle pain, stress, fatigue, or inflammation. Below are the six different types of massage you will learn and practice with us:

Swedish Massage: In this module, you will learn how to perform a full-body, soft-relaxation Swedish massage using techniques such as petrissage, effleurage, friction, tapotement and vibration to release tension and blockages in the body. Swedish massage is a widely recognized and frequently practiced form of massage designed to relax both muscles and mind. Its soothing strokes and kneading techniques promote relaxation, improve circulation and enhance overall physical and mental well-being.

Deep Tissue Massage: This therapeutic massage technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially effective for treating sports injuries, chronic pain and areas of persistent tension. Deep tissue massage typically uses firm pressure, applied by the knuckles, fists, palms, thumbs, arms, or elbows, to release stiffness, reduce stress and promote relaxation. Proper technique is essential and our training ensures you gain the skills and confidence to perform this massage safely and effectively, providing relief and restoring the body’s natural balance.

Ayurvedic Massage: is a therapeutic practice based on the principles of Ayurveda, an ancient holistic healing system. In this Ayurveda massage, you will discover the most effective and unique Abhyanga ayurvedic massage technique in which Ayurvedic oil is used in rubbing motions that are coordinated, rhythmic and synchronized. This abhyanga massage is often performed by one or mostly two therapists which enables the improvement in circulation, promotes relaxation and aid in detoxification.

Shiro-Dhara: is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment in which warm sesame oil, buttermilk, coconut water or medicated oils are continuously poured onto the forehead — commonly known as the third eye chakra, a spiritual point on the forehead. Shiro-Dhara is used to address conditions such as headaches, high blood pressure, migraines, anxiety, insomnia and depression. This therapy helps balance the energy flow in the head, enhancing mental clarity, focus and overall well-being. Join us to learn how to perform Shiro-Dhara safely and effectively under professional guidance.

Hot-Stone Massage: In this module, you will learn both hot and cold stone massage techniques, tailored to the body’s needs and specific conditions. Hot stone massage is designed to warm the body, relieve tight muscles and reduce chronic muscle tension. Cold stone massage, on the other hand, is used to address certain skin conditions, reduce swelling and inflammation, and provide a calming effect on the nervous system. The refreshing sensation of the cold stones also helps reduce stress and anxiety, promoting overall relaxation and well-being.

Thai Massage: This technique combines acupressure and yoga-inspired stretching, including twisting, back bending, and gentle inversions, tailored to the client’s needs and comfort level. Thai massage is performed on a mat while the client wears loose, comfortable clothing. The therapist begins by applying rhythmic pressure to various parts of the body, then guides the client through yoga-like postures, using palms, thumbs, fingers, elbows, knees and feet to apply pressure. This method helps relieve muscle tension, improve flexibility, enhance joint mobility and promote the flow of energy throughout the body. All movements, stretches and acupressure are performed carefully to ensure comfort and prevent strain.
