Spineworks training is available in the UK and Greece. For dates and other details please look at the Dates, Contacts and Links pages.

Spineworks training, supported by background theory, will give you gentle techniques that will release muscle, fascia and other tissue in all parts of the body to relieve stresses.

You will be able to offer your clients a deep remedial treatment for many physical ailments such as back and spine dysfunction (including scoliosis, kyphosis etc), whiplash and other neck problems, pelvic distortions (including sciatic pain etc), frozen shoulder and so on.

The professional training course is taught over several modules spread over a number of months to allow for practice and  case studies in between. In Athens it has been done in seven weekends spread over eight months. This format has been used successfully for several years. The course is very practical with much hands-on practice. You will receive a manual of over 100 pages explaining the background and theory as well as outlining all the techniques themselves.
