Clinical Massage Therapy Course
The Clinical Massage Therapy Course is unique in Ireland. It holds the iTEC accreditation, the most well-known in Ireland and internationally recognised.
Clinical Massage Therapy Course
Clinical massage therapy is characterized by its outcome-based approach, determined during the initial consultation and assessment. Accurate assessment is crucial for improving mobility and function and reducing pain. This therapy is particularly effective in treating common rheumatology, orthopaedics, and neurology conditions, including issues like spinal disc disorders, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The treatment is customized using various techniques, such as special massage, cupping, passive and active movement, and Muscle Energy Technique (MET), to ensure the best possible results.
