About the masterclass
Foot and lower-limb symptoms are not always isolated to the immediate area of discomfort. Muscular tension, soft-tissue dysfunction, movement patterns and biomechanical factors can all influence how a patient feels and functions.
This specialist masterclass introduces the principles and practical application of remedial massage therapy within foot health practice.
Led by Ryan Whordley BSc, MSc, the session will combine relevant theory, functional anatomy, clinical reasoning and supervised practical techniques. You will learn how to assess soft-tissue dysfunction and apply appropriate remedial massage methods safely and effectively.
The focus will be on clinically relevant techniques that can be incorporated into your existing practice and used to support a more comprehensive, patient-centred approach.
