| The European School of Massage Therapy was created to divulge the “culture” of massage as a simple and effective means, within the reach of one and all, to prevent and treat a wide variety of disorders and procure physical and mental wellbeing. The original technique, developed in years of study and practice by the founder of the School Dr. Giovanni Leanti La Rosa, M.D., is specifically designed to combat the health-threatening tensions generated by the unnatural demands of our hectic life-styles.
Beginners easily acquire the basics of the Leanti method, and advanced classes on theory and specialized techniques are available to anyone wishing to know more about the method and acquire professional expertise.
As we are ardent believers in the saying that “seeing is believing” (expanded by us to “feeling is believing”), the School welcomes you one and all to participate free of charge in a daylong workshop during which the concept behind the method will be illustrated and practical demonstrations conducted. Anyone wishing to develop sufficient skills to practice on friends and relatives can enroll in one of our short training programs. Practitioners, such as physiotherapists, massotherapists, nurses, medical doctors, doctors of natural medicine, sports instructors, personal trainers, etc., who wish to become proficient in our customized techniques of therapeutic stress relieving massage can enroll in one of our professional courses lasting a year or more. These courses are also open to anyone interested in obtaining a fuller understanding of the method and greater practical expertise.
The School actively promotes the practice of massage in Italy and abroad. Dr. Giovanni Leanti La Rosa, founder and managing director of the school, and his staff of instructors make it a point to attend major specialty Fairs and Conventions. They also periodically conduct training sessions at venues outside the School’s headquarters. Members of the organization also publish articles in newspapers and magazines.
Massage is a powerful instrument of communication: what makes it so effective is its reality and tangibility (first try and then trust...). A massage is adaptable to practically any situation and can easily become an integral part of our life. A wide range of applications is explored in the School’s syllabus of customized techniques designed for particular places and situations. The technique of Office Massage is studied for the workplace; Water Massage is practiced either in seawater, in an ordinary heated pool or, for maximum benefit, in a hot spring pool; massage with hot stones combines the benefits of manual contact and localized thermal therapy.
Another objective of the School is to divulge and preserve the unique scientific method developed by Dr. Giovanni Leanti La Rosa in over 25 years’ practice with patients and disciples in Italy and abroad. DR. LEANTI LA ROSA, a pioneer of stress relieving massage in Italy, personally supervises the training of the School’s instructors and of practitioners enrolled in advanced courses. The School is the only establishment authorized to teach the “5-Star Massage” method conceived by DR. LEANTI LA ROSA.
