How the Kneader works
As an experienced Massage Therapist, you'll know how to give a great massage - and also how much effort that takes!
Save your fingers, hands and/or wrists by letting the tool do the hard work for you.
① The upper arch part of the Kneader is mainly used for Effleurage Compressions or Percussions. You can do a soft, slow move or lean in for deeper pressure.
② The side points are good for deeper movements, like Petrissage, Frictions and Pressure Points, all of which help to release tension in tired or strained muscles. Only focus on small areas and for short periods of time.
③ The smaller, bottom arch is good for Effleurage or Petrissage, especially for smaller areas such as the arms or calves and is particularly good for working in between the shoulder blades and the scapular ridges.

Your Questions Answered
Therapists are always keen to know more about the Course, so here are some of your most frequently asked questions
-
Why do I need to be a qualified Massage Therapist?
This course is designed to deliver a professional-level chair massage routine. It references details of muscle groups and uses massage terms that are usually familiar only to those who have received professional massage and its A&P training.
-
Why do I need two Kneaders and where do I get them?
The Kneader is ergonmically designed to fit into the user's palm and become part of their hand. Most established massage moves require the symmetry of using two hands to manipulate an area. The same applies to Kneader Chair Massage! That said, many moves in this routine can be done using one or two Kneaders, either alternately or at the same time, for a deeper, all-over effect. The difference lies in the Kneader's versatility. You can achieve the same effect for any move using several different holds, which we show you, so that you can achieve the best massage both for you and your clients.
The Kneaders are not included in the course price. You can buy them from us directly on the Kneads Must website at www.kneadsmust.com -
Will I be able to offer chair massage after taking this course?
This course will teach you all the Kneader moves, as well as the structure of the full body routine so that you'll be able to offer this chair massage using the Kneaders with confidence or you can create your own Kneader chair routine - it's all up to you! It's a great, user-friendly routine that can be broken down into smaller segments to ensure that you give your clients the massage they want. The fact that you can use all the Kneader moves in your other routines to help with deep and/or repetitve moves (as many therapists already do) makes this course even better value for money.
As a qualified massage therapist, you may, depending on the regulations of the area/country you practice in, need to add this routine and your use of the Kneader massage tool (in this chair routine or as a supplemental tool in your other routines) to your insurance cover as part of your massage practice. Make sure you stay abreast of your professional obligations and contact your insurer to discuss. -
How do I get the CDP points?
This is a CPD-approved short course registered with the massage association, Thinktree, which means the course’s learning content has been vetted for quality and professionalism. If you practice in a country or area that recognises continued education points, you can acquire CPD-points either by self-declaration or going through a massage association/governing body.
We wanted to make this course as user-friendly and accessible as possible to all massage therapists, so we have not included an exam. As an experienced therapist, you work through the course and decide when you are confident to use the routine and/or its moves in your practice. -
What support do you offer?
In addition to being able to refer back to the course whenever you need to, there is a dedicated Facebook group for course members. It has Q&As, videos and information sharing so that you can continue to progress and share your Kneader knowledge.
-
How long do I get to complete the course?
You'll have access to the online course material for as long as you need, because you can't rush proper learning! We only ask that you keep this course and its materials confidential by not copying or sharing any of its content.
-
I've never studied online before - is it hard?
Not at all! You'll need to create a log-in, giving your name, email and a password. You'll need these details to log-in each time you want to access the course material. Once in, you'll see an interface that's easy to use, plus there's even a lesson on how to use the course! However, if you still have issues, you can contact us and we'll be there to help you along.
-

This course is on a Thinkific platform, which has a seperate payment system, so you can pay for the course by clicking the 'Join the course here' button below. Our Kneaders are a seperate product and can be purchased directly from us on the Kneads Must website at www.kneadsmustlcom. We have an easy-to-use and secure payment system for accepting credit cards on both facilities.
-
When will the price go up?
We will keep the cost down at €10.00 for as long as possible because times remain tough. We're offering it at such a large discount to encourage our fellow professionals to continue to learn new massage skills and grow their businesses. The price for the course and the two Kneaders comes to €35, which is phenomenal value for tools and techniques that you will continue to use in practice for years to come.

Why I designed the Kneader and how this course came about
When I designed the award-winning Kneader massage tool, I wanted to make a body massage tool that could do all the main massage moves easily and effectively for my massage clients to use at home, in-between their professional treatments. When I started trialling the tool with fellow massage therapists, I realised that Kneader was a great tool for professional therapists too.
Therapist injury is a big issue in our industry. The Kneader can help save therapists' thumbs, fingers or wrists by taking the strain out of deep or reptitive moves.
Therapists of all massage disciplines have been using the Kneader as a supplemental tool in their treatments for years. In 2015, I decided to design a chair routine that was done entirely with two Kneaders, because they work so well over clothes and I LOVE chair massage. That's when Kneader Chair Massage was born! I've been doing mobile corporate and events massage successfully since then.
In 2017, I took the Kneader Chair Massage routine to the World Massage Championships in Copenhagen and won a silver medal in the chair category. Then, in 2019, Kneader Chair Massage won a bronze in the UK National Championships in London. The Kneader massage tool has also won industry design awards, so we're definitely doing something right!
That’s why I’ve created this Kneader Chair Massage online course, because it's too good a routine to not share with other massage therapists. Once you learn to use the Kneader in the chair routine, you'll also find ways to use it in all your massage work.
This professional massage course is currently accredited with Thinktree as a short course, so if you're in a country that recognises them, you can claim CPD points. If not, no problem! The accreditation just means that the course has been vetted to ensure its quality and professionalism, which is reassuring to you and should make it easier to insure the use of the Kneader and/or the Kneader Chair routine in your practice.
At just €10, the Kneader Chair Massage training is phenomenal value.
This comprehensive online course will provide you with a step-by-step guide that begins with some general industry guidelines for your massage practice, through the massage routine itself and completes with ideas on how the Kneader and its chair routine can further your business' earning potential.
The Kneader Chair Massage training is created with busy massage therapists like you in mind.
This is an online course that you can do in your own home and to suit your busy schedule, saving you a lot of hassle, time and money. You can go through the whole thing in one go, or you can pick and choose modules as and when you need them, so that you become confident in using the Kneader on your terms. There are no exams or deadlines with this course. Learn to practice the routine in its entirety or use the Kneader moves to make up your own chair routine - it's entirely up to you! You have access to the course and its Facebook/Meta group for as long as you need it, so that you can continue refreshing and sharing your Kneader knowledge.
