This course is intended for anyone who has already undertaken basic body massage/sports massage training, who would like to develop their joint assessment skills, using the Regional Anatomical Pre-requisites Model, in order to determine where an injury originates rather than simply treating where the pain is. They will also familiarise themselves with special orthopaedic tests which can be used as part of the assessment to gain further insight into the root of injuries
