Recently completed the refresher L5 sports massage course. It was extremely helpful and I was able to gain more in depth understanding of myofascial release, trigger points, MET,STR with Josephs understanding and experience I was able to leave the course full of knowledge and feeling more confident for my exam. I highly recommend for anyone that needs a ‘refresh’ or any Level 5 therapist willing to further their knowledge!

The level 5 sports massage revision workshop was a great opportunity to refresh my knowledge and add extra understanding on subjects like trigger points, relationship between the fasciae and muscle dysfunction, and more. It’s like reading a book for the second time; you will always learn things you missed the first time. As always, Joseph made it so interesting with his in-depth knowledge, always ready to help and answer questions.
