Testimonials

” I know you’re a very busy man but I would just like to to tell you how much I enjoyed your Spinal Manipulation & Mobilisation master class and it was completely worth the trip down from Scotland. Well structured with so much positive practical points, I was thoroughly impressed and now that I’ve dipped my toe in it and put my foot in that field I am inspired and will most certainly be attending more of your bodymaster courses.
Your knowledge and teaching techniques are first class and I will be spreading the word buddy. “

” Hi John, just want to say how much fun and how much I learnt on your spinal course. It was awesome :-).
I’ve learnt some new practical techniques to practice, perfect, and add to the tool box – you do make it look easy!
If anyone wants an easy going, well balanced practical /theory course – stripped back to the essentials – this is the one.
John’s so easy going and knowledgeable without being over theoretical and overly- serious like other CPD courses out there. “

” Hi John, Just a quick email to say a big thank-you for the Shoulder course. Andy and I both enjoyed our day very much and found it both informative and very useful. I have just tried out the shoulder mobilisations you demonstrated on an older female client with great results. I’m sure we will be back soon for another course, I had forgotten just how good they were. ”

” Hi John, Just wanted to thank you for yesterday’s Master Class on the Glutes, it was excellent. Left me thinking about my hip. I have thought it was just muscular due to my running/work. I might have to do the hip’s master class to find out more!! ”

” Just wanted to say a big thank you for my place on the Vital Glutes CPD course you ran yesterday. Rammed full with logical content right from the off. Delivered at a tempo that everyone could follow with plenty of practical information – making sense of the theory. Sharing, generously, the knowledge you’ve accumulated over many years of practice for the greater good. For me the special ingredient about the course was the accessibility, literally plug and play. That which I learned yesterday I read up on when I got home and put into practice in my clinic, today.
What value is that! ”

” Another mind blowing two day course with Mr John Gibbons…The Cervical Spine and Shoulder Master classes. The man is a walking encyclopaedia of musculoskeletal: Anatomy, Physiology, Dysfunction and correction. He is also funny!! Sometimes…..We all thoroughly enjoyed the courses and can’t wait for the next ones. “

” I just wanted to write and thank you for the Glutes & Psoas course yesterday. I think I learnt more in six hours than I have in the last three years! I really enjoyed it and I used some of the exercises from yesterday with my first client this morning! ”

Amazing course with John Gibbons always makes sense when he explains it. Great guy and fantastic lecturer. Even got to row with the Oxford First Boat 7 man.

Just had a mega 4 days in Oxford on a course by John John Gibbons, Pelvic and SI joint. To all my therapist colleagues I can’t recommend his courses highly enough. You know his books are good but get your butts on one his courses, he makes sense where other authors/lecturers confuse. watch this space for news of John coming up to Scotland to do some workshops, definitely not to missed. On a personal note John Gibbons is a guy with great generosity of spirit and great courage to have run this particular course under his own difficult circumstances. Met some lovely people on the course too, bonus!. Now just you wait till I get my hands on those clients tomorrow, their pelvis and sacrum aren’t going to know what’s hit them!

I have just got from a Spinal Manipulation & Mobilisation course, with John Gibbons world renowned Sports Osteopath … so many tools in my toolbox now gonna need a tool chest i think … Thankyou John for the most amazin day i have as normal learned so much … both about manipulation and myself …guys do yourself a favour and get booking on these courses its just a fantastic day of learning and 3 more to go before I get his Bodymaster Method ® Diploma and my whole business is gonna take a massive leap forward.

I just want to thank you for all the knowledge that you have given me over the past few year. It has certainly taken my life down a completely different path to what I imagined it would. I’m now doing what I wanted to do 40 years ago. This year has certainly been great which has involved me in travelling to places I’d only dreamed I’d visit. Since June I’ve spent time in Europe, San Diego, Hawaii & Australia. Working with a few elite athletes 3 of which have got podium positions at both world & European championships. It is with your training & knowledge that I have been able to develops through your courses that has allowed me to treat them in both in preparation and the treating of injuries & rehab that has allowed them to achieve what they have this year. So I can’t thank you enough on behalf of us all.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the class yesterday. It was a good bunch of enthusiastic individuals, I learnt lots, it was fun and interactive. Thanks again for the book and I’m sure I’ll be on another module in the not too distant future.

Hi John, I just received my book “The Vital Glutes” today and I picked it up to flick through it while waiting @ kids school, I read the first 16 pages and I’ve never been so excited to read a book. I can’t wait till tonight so I can get stuck into it. I also got your other 2 books, if they are like this one I’m going to be stuck with my nose in books all week. Thank you for your great work.

Just a quick email from me to say a big thank you for your time and effort on the recent MET course. Feedback is always good so I just want to say that the day was a great one and I have returned to Cornwall inspired once again. I have also buried my nose in your Vital Glutes book since my return and can clearly see that this is going to add a greater dimension to my treatment sessions both for my clients and on a personal level as I continue to learn. So again a big thanks for your motivation and a well informed day aimed at the right level with the KISS attitude working well. I hope to return for further courses before the year is out.

Hi John, I would like to take the time & say thank you, really enjoyed the Ktaping course on Saturday. Very relaxed learning environment (also the non-choc hob nobs were a bonus!). I have already used tape on some of my clients & had some positive results of which am very pleased about. Thanks again and it was lovely to meet you and learn something new. Look forward to doing more of your courses soon.

” I just wanted to write to you to congratulate you on your new book. It has been a long time since I purchased a reference book where I was so absorbed with each chapter that I could not but it down. Having completed your Bodymaster Method ® Diploma first and then reading this book second it was like reading a novel and then going to the cinema to watch the corresponding film. All the pieces as you put it just seemed to come together to complete the whole jigsaw puzzle in my mind. It has certainly enhanced my way of thinking in the way I will look at treating musculoskeletal bodily dysfunctions and I will be placing it as my number one reference point to go to when working in my clinic. Thank you again for this very well written and easy to understand book on the Pelvis and SIJ.”

A great few days in Oxford under the watchful eye of the brilliant John Gibbons Bodymaster,!!! Thanks a million John for the brilliantly delivered courses..

I would just like to say that I really enjoyed your manipulation/mobilisation and k-taping classes. I’ve been a medical professional for 20 years now and it’s not often one stumbles across an instructor who truly knows what they’re talking about, cuts the crap and teaches the essential skills for clinical application. This is what CPD should all be about and your stuff certainly delivers. Really glad I made the decision to refresh all my sports therapy stuff with your diploma.

Hi John, really enjoyed the shoulder course yesterday. Very helpful as we have a lot of throwers at the club (hammer, javelin, discus and shot) and the knowledge acquired yesterday will help in injury prevention as well as analysis and rehabilitation work. Plus I can start working on my wife’s frozen shoulder! Thanks again,

” A fantastic learning environment, John passes on his thorough and comprehensive theoretical knowledge and first class practical skills in a relaxed and interactive manner that enables therapists and clinicians to not only take away improved skills but also the confidence to apply these skills in an effective and clinically reasoned manner. I will definitely be returning to complete more of the Bodymaster courses, and would highly recommend to all. John successfully pitches the training to all practitioners regardless of background and/or specialisation. “

Just wanted to thank you for two great days of CPD. I really enjoyed it, and thought the way you taught was great – relaxed but getting all the information across. Having been non practising for just over a year now (on maternity leave and in the process of getting my licence to work in Abu Dhabi) I was very pleased that you didn’t put us on the spot! It’s been a great refresher of knowledge.

Just a quick message to say, once again, thank you for the Spinal Manipulation course yesterday. It was superb, I got massive value from it and thoroughly enjoyed myself. You’re a star.

Many Thanks for a very professionally delivered Spinal course, which was presented superbly. I learnt a lot and your easily understandable and simplistic explanations were perfect. I look forward to attending further in the future.

Dear John,
I just wanted to take the time to thank you so much for organising and running the recent spinal manipulation course on Oxford. I found it really exciting, fun and enjoyable. There was a lot of learning and of course plenty of time was given in practising the techniques on each other. I would highly recommend your course to other manual therapists, who wish to expand their knowledge and skills.

I recently attended an Advanced soft tissue therapy masterclass’ at the prestigious Oxford University under the tutelage of renowned Osteopath John Gibbons. The course is designed for all manual therapists such as physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors and sports injury therapists to learn advanced myofascial techniques focussing on the area of the lower lumbar spine, specific shoulder problems and neck pain as well as other areas of the body. The course was fantastic, it as paced well and had plenty of hands on practical sessions. I really feel that I can apply these techniques into my repertoire of soft tissue skills so that I may successfully treat more patients with a variety of musculo-skeletal problems.Another bonus of the course was getting to meet therapists from different backgrounds sharing their experiences and skills. On my particular course there was a Physio who flew from Brazil to attend. If you have the opportunity to enrol on one of Johns courses I would snap it up as you will not be disappointed.

Dear John, Thank you for a very informative and interesting Spinal Manipulation & Mobilisation workshop yesterday, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I am looking forward to seeing patients where I can put into practice what I have learned and I am keen to learn more also in some of your other workshops.

The Shoulder Joint Master-Class course last week was great. It pulled together a lot of the info I needed to get into order (esp the sc joint connection to the shoulder) and answered a lot of questions I had. I’ve already used some of the tests and techniques on a sub acromial pain patient to good effect and it’s great that we can take video. You pack so much into a short day, give so much good info, always answer questions well but succinctly with good A+P knowledge, but also very practical ideas for clinical use. I really feel I get value for £ from your courses.

Hi John,

I would personally like to thank you for the recent course that I was lucky enough to attend. I learned a lot about the concept of kinesiotape and how go apply it in a sports therapy and physiotherapy setting. I would highly recommend your courses to anyone. It isn’t surprising to see how you have got to where you are now by the quality that I observed on the Kinesiology Taping course.

I would like to thank you for all of the promotion you have given our company over the last year. We do support some other CPD providers but you are by far the most successful at promoting our brand.

“John has a very professional friendly approach to his work. I have seen many osteopaths over the years but still keep coming back to John as I feel his approach, knowledge and patients in explaining the problem are excellent. I would highly recommend John as an osteopath as he is highly qualified in his area.”
