Upper body massage (focus Neck Therapy)
Welcome to the Online Course: Upper-Body Massage with a Focus on Neck Therapy
In this online course, you will learn a beautiful and effective massage to treat your clients’ upper body (which features a strict focus on Neck Therapy). Your clients will highly appreciate and love this routine because it zooms directly into those crucial areas almost everyone struggles with: the shoulders, the neck, chronic stress, and anxiety. As a result, you will become a far better, more versatile, and more popular therapist.
You can use this routine as a standalone, dedicated massage or weave it seamlessly into your existing bodywork practice. This course will open up a wide range of possibilities for you. You will learn a vast array of techniques, specialized tools, and somatic approaches to massage your clients’ upper body (including the neck, chest, shoulders, head, and face). While these are regions where almost all clients carry pain, tension, and structural challenges, this massage is not just therapeutic—it also feels absolutely heavenly to receive. Many of my clients call it a massage straight from heaven.
Integrated directly into this training, you will also master the most important ingredient of an unforgettable treatment: a listening or compassionate touch. I will guide you on how to profoundly refine your quality of touch, which will not only transform this specific upper-body routine but will elevate the results of every other massage style you offer.
If you have any questions during the course (or after), it is possible to contact the teacher by WhatsApp or Messenger (by text).
This course was specially designed to give you a comprehensive toolkit to treat your clients’ upper body in a fluid, highly effective way. Today, nearly everyone suffers from postural tension, restricted movement, and chronic muscle pain in these specific areas. Therefore, it is essential for you as a massage professional (or an aspiring one) to possess a deep library of distinct techniques, tools, and precise anatomical approaches. This course delivers exactly that.
You can easily blend these protocols into your current therapeutic routines or offer them as a standalone, specialized 45-minute clinical treatment. In this online training, you will not only master advanced Neck Therapy, chest openings, and shoulder adjustments, but also deeply relaxing head and facial massage. Furthermore, I will teach you exactly how to cultivate a deep quality of touch—the ultimate secret to running a successful, highly sought-after massage practice.
Having taught this specialized upper-body protocol for more than 15 years in person, the time has come to bring this training fully online. We have invested immense time and care into crafting the best possible learning experience: featuring crystal-clear instructional videos (packed with detailed close-ups), thorough body mechanics breakdowns, and precise explanations. Now you can learn this signature approach online from a highly experienced master teacher. Remco has been teaching traditional Asian bodywork for more than 15 years and has trained over 5,000 students worldwide.

Why learn this massage?
Many of my clients call this routine a massage straight from heaven. This practice will not only send your clients into a state of deep Nirvana during the treatment, but they will also feel a massive physical difference long after they leave your table: decreased pain, expanded mobility, released restrictions, and a profound sense of somatic calm. Because so many individuals suffer from chronic stiffness and stress in the neck, shoulder, and chest grid, possessing targeted tools to safely alleviate their discomfort is a vital skill for every bodyworker.
Throughout this course, you will be learning an array of interesting, creative, and clinical techniques, including broad-handed compressions, precise structural stretches, safe mobilizations, and advanced muscle energy techniques (METs). Most importantly, you will learn how to radically improve your quality of touch. Because the neck is an incredibly vulnerable region, many clients are inherently protective or even anxious about being adjusted there; how you approach their skin is everything. When your touch embodies absolute kindness, deep presence, and active listening, your client will instantly feel safe, allowing them to surrender and deeply let go. A refined, listening touch will transform not only the feel of your bodywork but also its therapeutic outcome.
Therefore, integrated completely into this curriculum, you will unlock the hidden mechanisms of master-level palpatory skills using our 3 core principles: Foundation, Core, and Expression.
By applying these principles, you will massage in a way that is consistently kind, gentle, deep, and connected, cultivating a true listening and compassionate touch. Mastering this level of presence is the absolute primary secret to standing out and thriving as a successful professional.
1. Foundation:
Proper body mechanics; learn how to position and use your own body in the most structurally efficient way with the absolute least amount of physical effort. Learn how to use your bodyweight/Chi instead of raw muscular force, allowing you to stay completely relaxed throughout your treatment rows.
2. Core:
How to connect, move, and massage straight from your center—not only physically, but also energetically and spiritually. Learn how to let your massage flow out of genuine kindness and compassion.
3. Expression:
The natural result of an aligned foundation and core: a touch that is profoundly compassionate, deeply listening, soothing, and respectful, while remaining incredibly soft and deep at the same exact time.
What will you learn:
- Advanced clinical techniques (around 27 specific protocols) to safely and effectively release the neck

- Essential guidance on professional scope of practice, contraindications, and why letting go of the outdated “no pain, no gain” mentality yields superior clinical results
