Therapists will learn wonderful relaxing MFR techniques for the face and neck. These techniques can be offered to clients as an individual treatment or as part of any other hands-on therapy.

Eligibility - you must be a practising manual hands-on therapist, no previous MFR experience is required. Students will be provided with a technique manual, and a CPD certificate of completion will be emailed after the workshop. This workshop does have 2-3 techniques where the face-covering/mask will need to be removed. These techniques will be done in as short a time as possible, and workshop breaks will be organised around these techniques to ventilate the treatment room. However, adaptations are possible if therapists do not wish to remove their face covering/mask to receive the treatment. This workshop will be limited to the current guidance for schools/education and room size. We are expecting to be allowed 5 treatment couches in the treatment room. This may increase to 6 if guidance allows. This means there will be no more than 12 students in this workshop. You will be bubbled with no more than 3 other therapists for the day.
