Description

This comprehensive CPD course provides massage therapists with the specialist knowledge and practical insight needed to work safely, compassionately, and effectively with clients who have sustained an acquired or traumatic brain injury.

You’ll explore key topics including:

  • Introduction to NeuroMassage principles

  • Anatomy and dermatomes relevant to brain injury care

  • Recognising contraindications and adapting safely

  • Supporting client comfort, dignity, and emotional needs

  • Managing skin integrity in clients with reduced mobility or spasticity

  • Understanding the causes, types, and effects of brain injuries

  • Recognising how cognitive, sensory, and physical symptoms may present

The course features real-world case studies, a final case study exam, and a curated video library to support visual and applied learning.

This training equips you with the clinical reasoning, confidence, and compassion needed to offer inclusive massage therapy for people living with the effects of brain injury—whether working independently or in collaboration with carers and healthcare teams.
