Course Modules for this game changing course in treating chronic pain can be taken online individually as CPD.

This exciting certification will give you the skills and the recognition as an advanced practitioner. Learn cutting edge techniques to be efficient and confident in your ability to treat pain. This course combines the most fundamental of the JING Advanced series for treating pain and injury, with specialised mastery days so that you will be able to offer the best treatments to your clients. This is a fantastic stand alone course, or can form year one of the BTEC level 6 Professional Diploma in advanced clinical and sports massage.

As this is a CPD (continuing professional development) course, you will need to hold a qualification in massage to attend. If you are not already a massage therapist you will need to take the Prerequisite course: Bodywork Beginnings – The Jing way (or an alternative equivalent).
