'Advanced Massage Techniques'

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COURSE IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS DISTANCE-LEARNING

This 5-day course is for those Bodywork Therapists who wish to update their knowledge. It assists Students to broaden their range of skills in Bodywork and facilitates increased awareness of issues of health and disease (physical and mental) in relation to the application of Bodywork Therapies.

The course is also available as 5 individual days; please ask for details as we may have individual days before the next full 5 day course.

There will be time on the course to address the needs of individual Students and if there is anything specific that you would like to be included please give us 2 weeks notice so that paperwork can be prepared.
