MFR UK strives to raise the profile and standard of MFR training in the UK. Our therapists possess not only manual therapy skills, but valuable assessment, client communication and rehabilitation skills making MFR UK a prominent UK post-graduate training provider.

MFR UK can only accept those who have qualified as a manual therapist. A qualified manual therapist will have attended a recognised training course, sat and passed exams, provided case studies and/or worked in a student clinic and have insurance to practice.

Eligible qualifications must meet the minimum national occupation standard (NOS) in a (full body) manual hands-on therapy at level 3 ITEC, VTCT, BTEC or similar plus the same level of training in anatomy and physiology. Additionally, those wishing to attend must have been working in a clinical environment (including home clinic) at least part-time for a minimum of 12 months.

While we appreciate that many people posess skills and qualifications in the healthcare industry, not all are suited to the kinaesthetic awareness needed to become proficient in MFR. For this reason we regretfully advise that we cannot accept any healthcare professional of any kind unless they have a qualification as previously mentioned in a manual therapy to NOS. Additionally, we cannot accept Beauty Therapists unless they have an independent manual therapy qualification.

Students currently attending a manual therapy course (at the minimum standard) may also apply. Online manual therapy courses do not meet the minimum pre-requisite. We reserve the right to reject applications due to student unsuitability for insurance reasons
