Injury Prevention CPPD Workshop
CPPD points: 5
Workshop duration: 1 day, 9.30am – 5.30pm
Workshop description: Of all the hands-on healing therapies, massage therapy involves the most extensive use of the hands and arms making them the most common injury sites for massage therapists. Sports and Deep tissue therapists are even at a greater risk of injury due to the extreme and excessive pressure placed on the joints of their hands, wrists and shoulders whilst carrying out each treatment.
What will I learn? This 1 day workshop will help you learn to balance the work you give clients with self-care, helping you extend the life of your massage career. It will cover how to recognise the early warning signs of injury, the injury process, safe practical techniques and other tips to help reduce the chance of injury, exercises and stretches to help improve your strength and fitness and avoid injury and the most common injuries sustained by massage therapists.
Workshop tutor: Cindy Vernon
What are the costs? £79
