All students must be competent and confident with body palpation, have a working knowledge of musculoskeletal identification, muscle and joint actions and pathology
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. If during any workshop, MFR UK is notified of or feels that any student is having difficulty learning and practicing techniques or that any student does not meet our training criteria, these instances will be dealt with privately and in an individual manner.
While we appreciate that many people possess skills and qualifications in the healthcare industry, not all are suited to the kinaesthetic awareness and body mechanics 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 manual therapy at the minimum standard
Additionally, we cannot accept Beauty Therapists, Pilates, Yoga, Movement therapists or Fitness and Exercise professionals unless they have an independent manual therapy qualification as mentioned above.
We regularly have therapists who have attended MFR training through other schools wishing to enhance their skills by training with MFR UK. All schools teach very differently and for this reason, all students begin training with us at our Structural Series Part 1 which provides techniques for the hips and shoulders. Please see the workshop pathway here.
