Is IHM Physically Demanding & Popular?

[Becca B.]

I'm considering doing IHM (VTCT) at my local college & wanted to know if it is quite a physically demanding course/therapy or not?
Also in your experience is it quite a popular therapy with the general public?

Thanx in advance [&:]

HI
I also did VCTC IHM at college and been qualified over a year It was an intensive course It can be physical but maybe not as physical as massage is I am qualified in Swedish massage as well and that can be very physically demanding .The courseI went on was well worth it and I loved every minute of it.It is a popular therapy with very positive effects.I plan to do a coursein Eastern facial massage in Novemberwhich will incorporate well with the Indian head.
Hope thats helps good luck on your course.

Hi Sonnet,

I have been practising IHM for about a year now having done the VTCT course at my local college. I found the course extremely enjoyable and IHM is infact my favourite therapy that I practise.

When I started learning IHM it was pretty demanding physically, but with practice it got easier and easier to do. I still do occasionally find giving the treatment quite physically demanding at times (particularly when it's hot!), depending on how much work the client needs, but in the main I find giving the treatment quite relaxing as it is so holistic.

Out of all the therapies I practise, IHM is the most popular. I have participated in two taster days and I was continually busy throughout. Several of my regular clients also think that IHM is the best thing since sliced bread!

I think you should go for it!
