Course Overview

One day CPD Course – Empower your therapists and protect their practice and longevity

Are you a spa therapist who is beginning to feel the strain – physically, mentally, or emotionally? You’re not alone.

Are you a spa manager who wants to protect the physical, mental and emotional health of your staff and preserve their longevity on your team?

Recent industry statistics reveal an alarming number of talented therapists leave the profession within just two years due to injury, fatigue, or burnout. This course is here to change that.

“Hands Free Massage for therapists” is a powerful one-day training designed for qualified holistic, sport, or spa massage practitioners – especially those concerned about their long-term physical health or recovering from injury sustained in practice.

Whether you or your staff are battling discomfort in the hands, wrists, or back, or simply want to extend your/their career while staying pain-free, this course is your reset button.

It’s time to put your staff back on the priority list!!
