We currently run one and two–day workshops in Advanced Clinical Assessment Skills, and Advanced Soft Tissue Techniques.
These training courses are suitable for all qualified Massage Therapists, Sports Therapists, Manipulative Therapists and Bodyworkers who have an Anatomy & Physiology qualification and a massage qualification, ITEC equivalent or above.
Day 1: Advanced Clinical Assessment
What are your clients telling you? – Truly understanding who and what you’re treating is the foundation of effective therapy.
By using a blend of sound clinical knowledge and skilful assessment work, you will be able to uncover this in the all important initial assessment – way before your client is uncovered.
Could your client’s footwear be an indicator of low back pain? Mannerisms, posture, gait – What is your client’s body telling you? Unlock these mysteries and become a Dynamic Therapist.
Hands off – look, listen, learn
Insight into spinal mechanics
Improved examination skills
This invaluable one–day workshop will revolutionise the way you assess your clients from the moment they walk into your treatment room, enhancing confidence and rapport.
Day 2: Advanced Soft Tissue Techniques
This training session has a more practical element than the one above, as it provides instantly effective hands–on mobilisation techniques for soft tissue.
The lessons include:
General & physical examination
How to palpate and distinguish anatomical structures
Advanced Soft Tissue and Mobilisation Techniques
Warning signs and when not to treat
Looking after yourself – practitioner posture
Safe and skilful patient handling
As well as developing your own observational and analytical skills, you will also learn the right questions and how to ask them.
