Deep Tissue in Motion
Deep Tissue in Motion is a practical training developed by Felipe Luz, based on principles of neurophysiology, anatomy, and physiology, aimed at therapists who want to work deeply without overloading their own bodies. This methodology, awarded in international massage championships and recognized for its effectiveness, combines deep tissue techniques with assisted movement, stretching, and joint mobilization on the massage table.
Instead of relying solely on static pressure, the therapist learns to access deeper layers of tissue with greater precision and less effort, achieving more effective treatments while protecting their own ergonomics.
This course includes APENB and CPD certification and is designed for professionals who want to expand their tools and improve the quality of their manual work.
International Recognitions
Their work has been recognized internationally through multiple awards at European and World Massage Championships. In addition, he has been invited as a judge at international competitions organized by the World Massage Federation (WMF) and the International Massage Association (IMA), an organization that has also recognized them as one of the most outstanding figures in massage worldwide.
