• proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)
• spinal vertebrae re-alignment techniques.
Each workshop specifically covers the knowledge and practical skills needed to successfully treat a wide range of commonly presenting conditions.
The programme takes as its starting point the techniques, anatomy, physiology and pathology levels attained on the Diploma of Remedial & Sports Massage course.
The anatomy of the spine and the peripheral joints are explored to a deeper extent by a variety of media, including video presentations of dissected cadavers.

This is a practical workshop programme focused on learning additional specific techniques to treat a multitude of common conditions.
