Useful to any massage and soft tissue therapist, Bowen practitioner, Pilates instructor, yoga practitioner, personal trainer, reflexologist or bodyworker who wish to tailor each session or treatment to suit each client. It also gives clear evidence of improvement. Different methods of muscle testing will be taught.

Focus on Feet
Sun 06 Sep 2020, 11:00 am - 5:00 pmBook here
A day to
freshen up on feet.
So you probably covered foot massage in your course and your clients love it…you might start with feet or end and you might visit them during a massage… but do you ever feel that feet are forgotton? that feet are foolish? or that feet are foreign?
We are going to spend the whole day getting fascinated by feet. We’ll look at different ways to massage the feet but we’ll go further than foot massage. We’ll look at the whole session, how to set it up as well as the massage itself. We’ll also consider bodymind connections and feet in everyday language.
At the end of the day you’ll have some new tools in your tool box and be able to give a 60 minute foot massage that becomes a favourite with your clients!
This course is for qualified massage practitioners. You may also attend as a massage student as this day is a good way to extend your knowledge as well as be inspired by qualified therapists.
Praise for Focus on Feet
Thanks again for a good day focusing on feet. I enjoyed it and feel fresh with inspiration. Thanks for your creativity and effort it was appreciated very much. Susan
The day was really well structured and not only did I learn some really useful new techniques and approaches to use in my practice but felt energised and refreshed by spending the day connecting with other massage therapists. Thank-you! Jo
