In this course you’ll learn how to identify specific soft tissue dysfunction and weakness within the musculo-skeletal system, and how to harness powerful Muscle Energy Techniques to restore function to your patients.

Author and lecturer John Gibbons brings years of expertise and this will be demonstrated during this course. First he will teach you the theory of METs, then, once that has been understood, he takes you on a Muscle Energy Technique ‘journey’. After demonstrating functional assessment testing for the postural muscles that typically become chronically tight and dysfunctional, he demonstrates how to apply specific METs to correct these dysfunctional muscles and restore normality.

On completion of the course you will have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to identify, assess and treat specific dysfunction within the musculo-skeletal framework and perform a variety of Muscle Energy Techniques that will help restore function.

John Gibbons. My mission is to take away your pain.

Today, I’m Osteopath to the Oxford University Boat Club Rowing Team, my books and articles are published internationally, I lecture at Universities, and get invited to speak all over the world.

I trained and qualified in Osteopathy, Sports Therapy, Exercise Rehabilitation, Spinal Manipulation, Acupuncture and Nutrition, painstakingly developing a treatment method that is as fast and effective on office workers and housewives as it is on top athletes and super-fit soldiers.

That 20-year journey has culminated in the Bodymaster Method ^® – a unique fusion of therapy techniques rigorously designed to remove pain and restore mobility without recourse to drugs or surgery.

Now my motivating passion is to teach the Bodymaster Method ^® to as many Doctors, Physios and Sports Therapists as possible and much of my time is dedicated to running training courses and seminars to establish a network of Bodymaster Practitioners worldwide.

If you’re a Therapist or Doctor and you really want to discover new ways to make a lasting difference in the lives of your patients, sign up for a Bodymaster course today.
