People interested in finding out more about how to train in a
particular type of therapy are being invited to attend an open day
later this month.
Practitioners in the Full Movement Method, a unique therapy
which is used to treat muscle and joint pains, immobility and
malfunction, will be on hand to explain more about the training
courses which will get underway in 2012.
FMM was developed by the late Andy Thomas, from West Bridgford,
Nottingham, and uses yoga postures as a diagnostic and treatment
tool, alongside soft tissue techniques, deep tissue massage and
joint mobilisations.
Andy, who died earlier this year, trained many practitioners in
the therapy, which has been used to help road accident victims,
injured sportsmen and women, and others who are suffering pain.
Now an open day is being held at Southwell Leisure Centre,
Nottinghamshire, between 10am and 4pm on Saturday October 15th to
give more information to people interested in training to be a FMM
therapist.
"This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a new
direction, or who already works in the health sector, to gain new
skills," said FMM practitioner Karen Green.
"It's ideal for yoga teachers or gym or fitness instructors who
want to develop their expertise and increase the services they can
offer to clients. It's also perfect for people who are looking for
part-time work to fit around existing commitments, or for those who
have taken redundancy and are looking to set themselves up in their
own business.
"Andy trained many practitioners in the Full Movement Method,
who have gone on to open clinics in Bournemouth, Sheffield and
elsewhere, and we are now looking forward to welcoming the next
intake of students who are interested in learning the
technique."
The open day will be an opportunity to talk to previous FMM
students, as well as tutors in the courses, which run at the
premises of the PDW Group at Colwick, Nottingham.
Training in the Diploma in the Full Movement Method is held over
a series of weekends, starting on January 28th and 29th. The Full
Movement Training School is at the second stage of gaining
accreditation for the diploma, with an inspector from the
Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) due to visit in early
November.
A two-day Continuous Professional Development course is also
available, plus one-day workshops.
