Testimonials

Just wanted to say it was good to see you again today and even better to see how well you’re doing. There’s 100,000’s of Osteopaths out there, what you have achieved is truly remarkable!
I’ve done many courses since completing your diploma. Everything from 1 day to 3 year, online to face to face. I’ve been taught by osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists and soft tissue therapists. Of them all none of them have come close to your courses. Everyday in every appointment I use treatment methods that were taught by you. My whole thought process of how I assess has come from you. I have three passions in my life. My family, my job and ultrarunning. Thanks to you I have been able to build a successful business that means I only have to work a 4 day week and can dedicate the rest of my time to my family and running. I have no doubt in my mind without the Bodymaster method diploma I would not have been able to have the business and life I now enjoy. I will always be extremely grateful to you and all you have taught me. You’ll notice the only person who answered the nerve roots of the brachial plexus was one of your students. That wasn’t me who answered your questions it was your exceptional teaching. I don’t make a habit of these kind of messages but I was thinking a lot on my way home and felt it needed saying. Thank you, Alex.

I would like to sincerely thank you for the Shoulder online course . The material was clear, well structured, and very informative. I especially appreciated how you explained complex topics in an understandable and practical way. Thank you for your professionalism, patience, and engagement throughout the course. It was a valuable learning experience, and I truly benefited from it.

Hi, John. I want to thank you for the encouragement, but most of all, the wealth of knowledge you’ve poured into these courses. So far, I’ve been able to implement most of the techniques into my practice here in Barbados, with astonishingly fantastic results. I must say that my clients are very pleased with their treatments. I eagerly look forward to doing the other topics, to receive more usable information and my diploma at the end.

An absolute honour to be reading the 9th book by the legendary John Gibbons & hand signed, I was humbled and privileged to be a small part of this one. There are no limits to this man’s knowledge and talent, over the last couple of years under John’s mentorship program I have learnt and developed immensely, none of which would have happened without his guidance and experience, I feel lucky to have been taken on by him. Incredibly thoughtful, patient and experienced, there is no better to teach and mentor you, a huge thank you to John and long may the studies continue to help others. All the best, Tom.

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thankyou for yesterday’s ‘Advanced Spinal Manipulation’ course — you are absolutely phenomenal!
I’ve attended many courses over the years, and I can honestly say this was, hands down, the best. Your knowledge, clarity, and passion made the day truly inspiring. I’m looking forward to ‘diving’ into your book properly, and please do keep those YouTube videos coming — they’re such a brilliant resource.

I just wanted to sincerely thank you for the fantastic Muscle Energy Technique training session. Your in-depth knowledge, clear explanations, and hands-on approach made a big difference in helping me grasp the concepts and feel confident applying them. I really appreciated how you took the time to answer questions and tailor the training to our needs.
The practical insights and tips you shared have already started to improve my understanding and technique. It’s clear that you’re very passionate and experienced in this field, and it was inspiring to learn from you.
Thanks again for your time, effort, and dedication—it was truly valuable and much appreciated!

I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for the incredible Pelvis SIJ LS course. It was engaging, packed with valuable information, and delivered with your trademark clarity and passion for the subject. I truly appreciate the depth of knowledge you shared, especially your practical insights and clinical reasoning. It’s already making a difference in how I assess and treat clients, and I’m looking forward to revisiting the material to deepen my understanding even further. Thank you again for such a well-structured and enlightening course. I’m excited to continue learning through your other content now! Thank you John 🙂

Thank you for an absolutely invaluable course that has already shown me many different alternatives or ‘Methods’ to be easily implementing within my clinic and helping patients so much more to reduce pain, improve movement patterns, educate patients to help make their daily lives more comfortable etc.

Fantastic Vital Hip course – comprehensive but carefully considered, useful and relevant content. I love the way you prioritise and draw out the essence of theory linking it to key points of clinical reasoning which are necessary for sound clinical practice. Having already done most of the courses previously in person, I think the online offering is absolutely brilliant to supplement – particularly for regular revision. It’s great to keep going back to, which is reassuring and encouraging. Your written and video delivery is fabulous as always – simplifying what can be presented as overly complex in many of the primary texts and which can make it difficult to see the wood for the trees. Very grateful to you for disseminating your knowledge and expertise in such a clear way and with such insight into learning. You are one of the few lecturers (of a great many I have engaged with over very many years..!) who seems to really understand what the student needs to know to progress clinically. The assessments are great too – well pitched, encouraging, motivating and cleverly put together to make one really think about and remember the content – I’m learning a lot from my failures too! Best, Michelle 🙂

I began my journey with John back in 2012 & completing the Bodymaster Practitioner Diploma in 2014 (being one of his first students to achieve the Diploma). I have seen his courses develop over that period from his face to face to his online courses. I can put my hand on my heart and say that I would not be doing the work that I do now. I spend a great deal of the year travelling the world working with world class performing athletes in numerous sports, I also have a very successful business and this is all down to John. Thank you. I have often return to do CPD courses face to face to refresh my knowledge but limited due to time constraints so I have completed several of the online courses, I can say that they are excellent and they are as good as the face to face delivery. Thank you John

Thanks John, I have learned so much, I have done 11 courses online, it has been a journey which has enriched my practice, it has made me stand up as a resourceful practitioner in my community, and it was done thanks to you, thank you so much.

Thank you very much for this amazing Vital Nerve course. I can definitely tell that you succeed to simplify such a complex subject and make it understandable to everyone. Thank you very much for all your effort to share with us your knowledge.

I wanted to say how grateful I am for all your courses. You have a way to make complicated subjects approachable, fun and easy to understand. I love all your analogies, the chest of drawers, the toothpaste tube, they really help to bring it home in simple terms. I appreciate the advice you give, with encouragement and support. You are truly amazing and inspiring. Thank you!

Thank you, John, for the incredible training and the spinal manipulation masterclass. I have learned so much and gained valuable insights that will certainly enhance my practice. I truly appreciate your expertise and the way you made complex concepts easy to understand. It was a fantastic experience, and I’m looking forward to applying everything I’ve learned. Thank you again for your dedication and support!

Thank you for your brilliant and inspirational courses. The Bodymaster Method Diploma has been a fantastic learning experience, something that I have also very much enjoyed undertaking. The books have helped reinforce the practical sessions really well and are an excellent resource to have at hand. I just don’t know how you found the time to not only research the various topics in such depth, but write in such a way as to make the subject matter enjoyable to read. Your analogies are also fun and easier to understand than many.

Brilliant John, the vital shoulder complex course is done in such a clear and concise way. I’m so glad it’s a lifetime thing, as I get more confident and hopefully knowledgeable, this is going to be such a great course to keep revisiting. Thank you so much

The Diploma courses have been a God send and it’s no coincidence I am flat out with clients. Can’t thank you enough!

I completed my first course, the Knee Complex. I LOVED it! I really respond to your style of teaching. Thank you SO much for all the time you put into making these videos. It has already made a significant difference in my practice. I’m staring The Vital Glutes course now!

Thank you for this excellent Pelvis course. Whilst it really challenged me I immensely enjoyed it. I read, re-read, watched, re-watched and will continue dipping in and out of the book & videos for many years to come. This is definitely the best course I have attended and know many of my clients will benefit from the new skills I’ve learnt!

Hi John, thank you so much for the training last week, I’m not just saying this, nor do I say things like this lightly, after 22 years in the Marines & the last 5 as a company Sergeant Major, I’ve seen many teachers / instructors & have been on lots of courses the last few years, & 100% you are miles above the rest in all areas. From your most highly credible background to your patient manner, great humour & outstanding delivery, the professionalism of all online & in person material to your great personality, you are above and beyond anything I’ve known in many years, thank you.
It has been privilege to start my new chapter with you, if I can try to achieve just 10% of what you have I will be a very happy person.

Another fantastic course John, I never want them to stop! Going to go through this nerves course again, from the beginning!

Just a quick note to say a big thank you for the Bodymaster Diploma courses, they are simply excellent, and I have learned so much from them!

Thank you for spending countless hours putting together the Bodymaster courses. I have read several of your books, as well as completed the Vital Knee Complex and Vital Glutes and Psoas Masterclass. I recently started the Pelvis, Sacroiliac Joint and Lumbar Spine Masterclass. You have done an outstanding job, and I want to let you know that I appreciate all the work that you’ve done. I look forward to working through your online courses.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Advanced Soft Tissue course, very detailed, well explained, lovely clear and understanding videos and would recommend this course to anyone thank you very much John

Finally got some time to sit down and finish the Vital Nerve course – best course yet! Loved it! So much information and explained in just the right way; and such important stuff to know.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Vital Nerve course, it’s been eyeopening and deeply interesting, hence going slow as I wanted to understand, digest and process all the information. I am aware that experience is the best way to really bring it all into context and I am looking forward to put all that I learned into practice. Thank you John. A x

I am absolutely thrilled and delighted that I have completed the 10 modules that make up the BodyMaster Method Diploma. I would like to thank you so very much for allowing me to complete your Diploma course, as this was on my bucket list and is a huge achievement for me and has allowed me to accomplish one of my greatest goals. The fact that you brought this Diploma course online has made it possible for me to further my education as a Therapist. This has already assisted me immensely in helping my clients. I am also proud to state that I am the first person in South Africa to obtain this qualification. The course content, as well as your lecturing skills and vast knowledge of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and biomechanics are phenomenal.

When I first came to Oxford and was seated among some chiropractors, I must admit that I was a little intimidated but I think I have done well. Studying hard to learn and to feel a little more ‘at home’ have improved my treatments immensely. Now I hope that I am worthy of the Bodymaster title as in the clinic my treatments have improved several levels, and I enjoy seeing the happy faces that leave, and always return. Thank you for your marvellous courses!

Hello Mr. Gibbons..I just wanted to say thank you for these 10 magnificent courses..my first course was Vital Glutes nearly 2 years ago..and just finished the Ktape course (No.10)..I have acquired so much knowledge from these courses and case studies from your practise at Oxford..especially Pelvic and Sacroiliac joint course was an “eyeopener” for me ..I will do my best to be the best “therapy detective ” as I can be in the years to come!

Thanks for the pelvis course. I really enjoyed the depth of explanation, excellent explanations and videos. The best CPD courses I have attended.
