Tuina 2 – Advanced Medical Massage – Joint Manipulations

Cost and Duration:
£590 (5 days)
Optional £59 fee to upgrade to a full diploma via case studies verified by an independent external examiner.
Duration:
This is a 5 day course running one long week – Monday to Friday. Days run from 9:45am to 5pm.

This course builds on the Tui-na Medical Massage course with techniques that are more advanced and include multiple manipulations for muscle and skeletal realignment. This course covers full body techniques, especially focusing on joints, tendons and ligaments where the majority of musculoskeletal issues occur.

You will receive a certificate of attendance for the course which can be upgraded to an optional diploma by submitting 20 Case studies within 6 months after course completion. These are assessed by an external examiner.

The techniques taught give a high rate of client recovery and integrate well with other therapies such as Sports Massage, Chiropractic Manipulations, Osteopathy and Physiotherapy.
The techniques taught use your body structure and larger joints and so are not as straining on the body of the therapist, therefore aiding them to work for longer hours without being as physically tiring or damaging the joints.
We show you the small details of how to maximise your skills whilst discussing the issues and common mistakes arising in treatments that many course providers do not discuss.
Assessment is by observation. Each student must be observed practising correct, safe, protocol in order to be deemed safe to practice and gain a full certificate,
