Content
This is a very intensive, two day massage course, and leads on to our the second course Bridge to Practice, where we train METs, Trigger Points, STR, and some intro Myofascial Release.
When you come on Foundation Skills you can be sure you will learn what you want to know.
How can we say this ? Because we ask everyone what outcome they want at the start of the weekend, and we make sure you get it !
Our small group training, of between 6 and 10 participants enables each course to be geared to the needs of the individual.
If the direction you want to move to in future in sports, we can support you. If you would prefer to direct your talent to training relaxation or more holistic complementary therapies, we can help you grow
But the help doesn’t stop with what you do with your patients. Some participants on previous courses have brought their own medical conditions, such as scoliosis, rheumatoid, hypermobility, DJD. During the course they have learned how to perform massage and look after their own body, bones, joints, and health by working hands free.
No matter whether you have been in practice for 20 years, have just stated studying and want more hands on teaching, you will learn, because Jill stretches everyone to achieve more effective practice, with more body awareness & balance
Our courses are specially designed to make you even better at your hands on treatment, be more confident, and achieve more effective therapy in the clinic
Qualified Physios who have completed this course have gone on to gain work in the Ski Resorts practicing massage

A few student comments from previous courses
I now feel I can say that I can give massages
I am convinced that I am 100 times more confident in my massage skills..
My confidence has gone from 0% to 90%
80% more confident ! I feel I can use my skills in an hour session now!
A lot more confident. I feel that I have been learning through having fun and in a very supportive envirnment where the emphasis is on highlighting the positive aspects
I am very confident and feeling quite eager to go and practice on more bodies. Bring on the Diploma I say (smiley face)
I feel far more confident. I have skills and feel that I have the tools to start to build a client base
Definately more confident, I could now give a massage quite happily
I’ve already got about 8 friends and family lining up for me practice on
The course would be even better if we had longer massages practice, because I was nearly asleep
The best experience I had on the course was being massaged by Jill
My best experience was the volume of hands on during the course
Excellent one-to-one opportunities with feedback from Jill and other participants
Excellent !
Intense teaching with almost one-on-one
Excellent hands on experience
Best bit was realising that I am now able to do massage, and practice that. Also meeting new grad Physios
Cant think of anything that would be an improvement, I really enjoyed the weekend, maybe you could become a lecturer at UEL ;-)
Lots of practice, nice atmosphere, very professional
