I’ve been calling these courses a culmination of my life’s work, and they really are and I’ve poured all my expertise into each of them – everything I’ve learnt as an osteopath, as a writer, and as a lecturer – to ensure that the quality of learning is no less than what you’ve come to expect from The Bodymaster.

And with my hand on my heart, I have to say that I truly believe the format and content are exceptional.

Many of my clinic-based Courses are now available to take ONLINE, and I’m working hard on the others.

All courses are fully accredited through the Sports Therapy organisation (STO) and count towards your Bodymaster Method ® Diploma. Each includes a full-colour PDF copy of my published book relating to the course, which I personally take you through chapter-by-chapter with accompanying HD video lectures and demonstrations.
