Excellent course: This course was a lot of fun. I am always super excited to learn new ways to help improve the health of my clients.

I would definitely recommend the Advanced Orthopedic Massage course for anyone who is wanting to improve their skills as an RMT. The instructors were knowledgeable and did a great job at teaching the concepts, in a way that was easy to grasp. Thank you so much Linda, Marina and Mara! I will be back for your other PD courses in the future.

The Orthopedic Massage training was thorough, in-depth and very much hands-on; which I feel penetrates most strongly. The teacher Mara was beyond excellence! I would suggest this course to many. I feel more confident and excited to share these new evolved skills with my patients.
Thank you 🙏

Recently I had the opportunity to engage in the Fundamentals of Orthopedic Massage course in Calgary - Although I was unable to complete the whole certification due to time constraints, the Fundamentals was a very engaging class. Mara was a fantastic, informative instructor and was very knowledgeable about the content. It is a perfect course to learn new techniques specific to certain muscles and muscle groups, also while learning multiple options to adjusting treatment pressure. If you have the chance to take the whole Orthopedic Massage certification, from what I learnt in the Fundamentals, it's definitely worth your time! I will most definitely be back to complete my certification!
