1, College of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Many Chinese medicine schools have set up children's massage courses, which are generally taught by Chinese medicine practitioners or massage instructors. Students can learn basic massage techniques, anatomical knowledge and how to use massage to treat specific diseases through these courses.
2. Massage training institutions
Such institutions offer various massage training courses, including children's massage. These training courses are usually hosted by professional massage therapists or doctors, and students can get education similar to that of Chinese medicine colleges, but the course time and content may be different.
3. Online courses
Online learning is becoming more and more popular, so many schools and massage training institutions provide online learning channels for children's massage courses. These courses are usually taught by recorded video or live broadcast, and can be studied anytime and anywhere.
Step 4 teach yourself
Self-study is a way to learn children's massage, but it needs to be reminded that self-study is very difficult without any relevant experience and knowledge. You can get some basic knowledge from books and video tutorials, but before you get relevant recognition and practical experience, it is best not to use these technologies to treat children.
