This one-day workshop is designed for students and practitioners qualified in Massage Therapy, Sports Massage/Therapy and Allied/Complementary/Holistic Therapies.

Massage can be of great benefit when there is injury to the soft tissues of the body i.e. muscles, ligaments and tendons. Under the guidance of a relevantly qualified practitioner and used correctly, massage can reduce swelling (lymphatic drainage) and re-align scar tissue. Massage is used extensively in the rehabilitation of soft tissue injuries
