RE: ITEC Holistic Massage Exam
Sat my holistic massage exam tonight.
These are some questions came up that I can remember.
1. What was the name of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists previously. (Society of Trained Masseuses, Chartered Society of Massage etc)
2. What was massage used for during the two world wars? (Improve circulation, to treat nerve injury, to treat bullet wounds etc)
3. System of the body which has an indirect benefit of massage (nervous, digestive, respiratory etc)
Can't remember any others at the mo - my head is still trying to recover. Some of the questions our class felt there was 2 possible answers. Lots of qustions regarding muscles and tension in muscles. Plus questions that have appeared on the site previously
Hope this helps
