Therapists' Testimonials

Feedback from participants in our launch of The Therapist’s Body workshop were incredibly positive.  Some examples are provided below:

 
"As a massage therapist I found The Therapist's Body course excellent. This was my first experience of learning with human cadavers and I found both the presenter and organiser supportive and respectful. It was such a great learning experience to see and feel with human specimens - things like fascia, nerves, ligaments, etc. I've recommend this course to massage therapist and yoga teacher friends."  Lilamani, TempleFlame Bodywork
 
“It is over 20 yrs since I have been in an anatomy lab, but seeing as I work in musculoskeletal medicine I thought it was time to brush up! The 3 hour 1 night course was outstanding. The group wasn’t too big and the tutor was extremely good. I would highly recommend this course.”  Dr Martin Clark,  MB.BS
