Modular training and continuing education
The Massage & Integrated Body Therapist programme is for those who want to understand the body in depth and learn the craft of touch, treatment and bodily transformation. Here, technique and theory are inextricably linked to human insight. The logic of the nervous system, the language of the body and relational contact play just as important a role as the techniques themselves.
The four modules can be taken individually or as a complete programme.
Together they make up 425 lessons, which - together with health-related subjects that can be taken as credits - make it possible to apply for RAB authorisation as a massage therapist.
Integrative body therapy is an approach that combines manual treatment with a deep understanding of how our whole being is connected. The body cannot be separated from the mind, thoughts, relationships or the context we live in - everything affects each other and is shaped together.
The manual techniques are supported by modern knowledge about pain, sleep, stress and trauma, and together they create a form of treatment where the body is seen as a living, intelligent system that both bears traces of the life we have lived and responds to the demands of today's world.
The Integrated Body Therapy programme is designed for those who want to work deeper with people and bring more peace, release and change into their practice.
Practitioners equipped to work with sleep problems, pain, stress and trauma in an integrated and holistic way.
As a Massage Therapist and Integrated Body Therapist, you will learn different types of massage, pulsating body therapy, craniosacral therapy and other therapies integrated with knowledge of updated pain science, stress, sleep and trauma.
You will learn massage and other manual therapies, but with a psychotherapeutic focus.
The programme is highly practice-oriented. This means a lot of bench work, where the hands have time to learn. You become comfortable with the techniques and the many expressions of the body - and you build a confidence that can be felt when you meet the client.
Theory - the anatomy of emotions, modern pain science, the meaningful body and the hierarchy of the nervous system - is constantly drawn back to practice, so you learn to work both professionally and attentively. This gives you both the craftsmanship and the perspective needed to counsel and treat on an informed basis.
Are you ready for the next step in your professional development?
As part of the programme, you book self-treatments with different therapists. You will have the opportunity to experience on your own body what touch, pressure, rhythm and presence can create - both when it soothes, calms, opens or sets something in motion. You will also gain insight into how different therapists meet you as a client. The treatments are not covered by the course price.
Throughout the module, we invite experienced practitioners to demonstrate their work with a client in front of the class. In masterclasses, you get to see how techniques are used in real life - not as isolated methods, but as living, customised and intuitive movements through a treatment.
As part of the programme, we invite people to tell their story - about life in the body, about boundaries, about vulnerability, about illness, pain or trauma, and about how it feels to be touched by another person. This is not therapy, but a living insight into how the body can be shaped by experiences, relationships and life circumstances.

The massage foundation course gives you a solid foundation in manual therapy. You'll learn to work safely, precisely and attentively with the body through classic and modern massage techniques. At the same time, you will gain a physical understanding that enables you to feel tension, movement and quality in the tissue - and to use your hands as both an investigative and therapeutic tool.

The Body Therapy module combines pulsating massage with physiurgical techniques, giving you a more regulating, holistic way of working with the body. The focus is on understanding the body as a dynamic system where tension, breath, mood and nervous system interact. You'll learn to create treatments that can loosen, calm, awaken and relax - depending on the body's needs.
You will learn, among other things:
Exam:
Can be taken as a continuing education programme without an exam or as part of an overall RAB programme (exam 950 DKK).

The Craniosacral Therapy module introduces you to a gentle, in-depth treatment that works with the body's finer rhythms, tensions and regulatory mechanisms. The focus is particularly on the face, neck and organs, where even small changes can affect the nervous system, tension levels and inner peace. The techniques are precise, slow and responsive - training your hands to pick up on subtle patterns and responses in the tissue.

The Joint Therapy module gives you a gentle and effective way to work with the body's joints and structural balance. Inspired by the DORN method, you will learn to combine gentle, controlled pressure with the client's own movements to create adjustments without kinks, twists or sudden mobilisations. The focus is on safety, precision and respect for the body's natural movement pathways.
