2010 Courses 

Athletes Angels have been running therapist training courses in the endurance event world for several years now.  Therapists report that they learn a huge amount and often come back to do another course with us.  All courses provide you CPD points and we provide receipts so that you can claim them against tax. 

Our next courses are:

 

  • BRAND NEW 2-WEEKEND MASSAGE COURSE FOR PHYSIOS IN CONJUNCTION WITH SCOTTISH MASSAGE SCHOOLS!!!

 

Further to our one-day 'Hands on for Therapists' course, we are introducing a new 2-weekend course to teach therapists the basics of Swedish massage and Remedial & Sports Massage.  We are working with Scottish Massage Schools to provide course content as they are currently teaching Swedish Massage, Remedial & Sports Massage & Advanced Remedial & Sports Massage to therapists all over Scotland.  They have an excellent reputation and know exactly what they are doing when it comes to teaching massage skills. This course will be excellent for physios who wish to develop their knowledge of massage techniques to use whilst working with athletes and participants at the many events that we support throughout the year and for private work with sports clubs/clinics/football & rugby teams. Massage is a hugely important part of the work that we do; it encourages flexibility; aids the recovery process and keeps athletes supple and healthy.  It can be included in an athletes' training regime both pre and post-event.  If you would like to register interest in this course, please contact us now on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  Final course details and content are currently being finalised. Dates:

12/13th February & 12/13th March 2011 - Edinburgh Academy 

Please note that this is a practical skills course; you must already have sound knowledge of anatomy & physiology and you will need to prove this when booking onto the course.  The course will cost £400 for the 2 weekends but we will have an Earlybird price of just £350 for those who book by the end of October.  Full course details will be published here as soon we have them.  In order to book a place, please send a cheque for the full amount to the address at the bottom of the page. 

 

  •  'Hands on for Therapists' - Saturday 13th November 2010, Aberdeen (venue tbc)

Our one-day Hands On course has been incredibly popular in the past and we are planning to run the course this year in November in Aberdeen in conjunction with Scottish Massage Schools.  This course is a fantastic introduction to the basic skills of remedial/sports massage and is ideal for physios and massage therapists who have not yet studied remedial/sports massage.  It is also a great refresher course for anyone looking to update their massage skills and would suit any therapist considering working with Athletes' Angels as it specifically looks at techniques that can be used whilst working at events with us.  You can see the programme for the course below.

The course is credited with 7 CPD points with the Scottish Massage Therapy Organisation and certificates will be given for therapists' CPD files.
