COURSE OVERVIEW
You’ll learn how to identify specific soft tissue dysfunction and weakness within the musculo-skeletal system, and to harness powerful Muscle Energy Techniques to restore function to your patients.
I will teach you the theory of MET and, once that has been understood, I’ll take you on a muscle energy technique ‘journey’. After demonstrating functional assessment testing for the muscles of ‘posture’ that can become chronically tight and dysfunctional, I will demonstrate how to apply a specific MET to correct these dysfunctional muscles to restore normality.
On completion of the course you will have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to identify, assess and treat specific dysfunction within the musculo-skeletal framework and perform a variety of Muscle Energy Techniques that will help restore function.
Is it for You?
The advanced nature of the course content requires you to have a high standard of both theoretical and practical knowledge. The minimum level of your ability, therefore, needs to be Level 3 Sport / Holistic Massage Therapist with ITEC, VTCT, IIST, Premier or similar diploma qualification.
This course is perfect if you are an Osteopath, Chiropractor or a Physiotherapist as the techniques you are taught on the course will compliment your treatments in your clinic. Students studying any aspect of physical therapy are also welcome.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN WITH ME?
I’m the creator of the Bodymaster Method® and I’ve spent years teaching post-graduate professionals worldwide to become the ‘go-to’ therapist in their area. My courses are built on everything I have learned as an osteopath, writer, researcher and lecturer.
The Bodymaster Method® is different from what you learned at university. You were probably taught to look at the site of pain, possibly perform hands-on therapy, and load the tissue with eccentric loading. The Bodymaster method® teaches you to look at your client as a whole person, not just at the site of pain.
In this course, you’ll learn how to identify specific soft tissue dysfunction and weaknesses typically found within the musculoskeletal system and harness powerful Muscle Energy Techniques to restore function to your patients.
