These are designed to extend the skills, experience and creative possibilities open to practitioners of massage and other bodywork disciplines eg. shiatsu, osteopathy, dance and fitness. They can also be a great way for practitioners to re-connect with massage after a break from the work. Finally, people with considerable practical experience who wish to further their knowledge base may find them helpful - please contact us to see if you would qualify. The programme brings together a highly experienced and talented team of tutors, each of whom has at least 10 years experience in their own field.

They are recognised for CPD purposes by MTI and other professional bodies affiliated to the CNHC.

We have been running an extensive programme in Bristol for many years and have now taken this to Worcester - much easier for those of us living up here!

The courses we are running in Worcester for 2012 are:

3D Side Lying Massage with Andy Fagg 24th March 2012

The human body is 3-dimensional. Yet many massage approaches work only with clients in a prone or

supine position. Working in the side lying position offers many creative opportunities and is not just for

pregnancy!  By placing clients in this position, without predetermined responses, they are more easily able

to let go. This workshop offers a range of bodywork and energy techniques, including:

• Spinal mobilisations and stretching 

• Connecting complementary muscle groups in the lower back and abdomen

• Accessing deeper muscles in the shoulder girdle 

• Deep relaxation and energy holds.

£65 or £60 if paid by 24th February

Releasing The Neck with Andy Fagg 25th March 2012

Clients often present with stiff and painful necks. This is not surprising, given the heady stresses of

everyday life and the range of muscle attachments to the cervical spine and occiput.  Releasing the neck is

both wonderful in its own right and can integrate relaxation for the rest of the body. We will examine the

structural importance of the neck as well as its role in maintaining emotional holding patterns.

This workshop offers a range of bodywork and energy techniques for the neck, drawn from many

disciplines.  These include stroking and rocking, vibration and mobilisation, deep focussed pressure,

stretching, holding and breathing.   

£65 or £60 if paid by 25th February
