Detailed Foot Massage

10 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Maureen Abson

Foot massage is often included briefly within a treatment, but when approached with structure and intention, it can become one of the most valuable and memorable parts of a session.

Detailed Foot Massage teaches a clear and methodical foot treatment sequence designed to help therapists work confidently across the plantar surface, toes, joints, and dorsal foot.

Presented by Maureen Abson, this course helps practitioners move beyond routine foot massage and develop a more structured, detailed, and professional approach to effective foot treatment.

Course Overview

Across this 10-hour CE/CPD course, participants will learn how to deliver a structured and detailed foot massage treatment with greater confidence, precision, and professional flow.

The course explores how to establish contact, prepare the tissues, work through the plantar surface, treat the toes and joints with care, adapt pressure for the dorsal foot, and bring the treatment together into a smooth and coherent sequence.

Emphasis is placed on pressure control, rhythm, sensitivity, client response, and attention to detail, helping therapists create treatments that feel considered, effective, and client-centred.

Supported by practical video tutorials, a structured Clinical Companion Course, course workbook and learning materials, lesson quizzes, final exam, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a complete learning experience for therapists who want to refine and improve their foot massage work.
