Clinical Massage Series
"Master Class Practitioners Course"

The Clinical Massage Series are a course of 2 day workshops which provide detailed information about the clinical anatomy, evaluation and techniques to treat (and when not to treat) common conditions affecting the various parts of the body.

The course is aimed at improving the knowledge and technique skills for massage therapists who want to progress from regular holistic treatments and provide further services to presenting clients.

The current lectures include two separate workshops which can be taken individually or together:

• Head & Neck Pain: Causes, Conditions & Treatment
• Low Back Pain: Causes, Conditions & Treatment

Clients regularly present to a therapist with head or neck pain and commonly are referred away or sometimes treated so that the therapy is very general and non-specific.

The aim of this course is to equip the therapist with a range of tools so that you can effectively deal with the situation, both in terms of treatment or further referral.
