Full Course Timetable
The Vital Knee Joint Masterclass allows you, as an already highly qualified therapist, to focus on this specific joint. The course is very intense and run over a single day.
On completion, you will have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to identify, assess and treat specific dysfunction within the knee joint, leading to greater treatment success, happier customers and a more profitable business.
Is it for You?
The advanced nature of the course content requires you have a high standard of both theoretical and practical knowledge. The minimum level of your ability, therefore, needs to be Level 3 Sport Massage Therapist with ITEC, VTCT, IIST, Premier or similar diploma qualification. If you are an Osteopath, Chiropractor or Physiotherapist you would also benefit greatly from this course.

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 knee joint and harness powerful advanced soft tissue techniques to restore function to your patients.
