You’ll explore key topics including:

The course includes detailed case studies, a final case study exam, and a curated video library to support visual, practical, and reflective learning.

This training empowers therapists to deliver safe, inclusive, and scope-aware massage for clients with spinal cord injuries—whether working directly with clients or alongside rehabilitation professionals and carers.
