	Enhances your effectiveness as a therapist
	Reduces the physical strain of manual therapies
	Immediately incorporated into current treatments.
	Improves patient compliance

This clinically based workshop teaches the FFT method which is ideal for those therapists who need to instantly control their patients pain to reduce muscle inhibition and allow you to proceed with your treatment.

The FFT method has a unique objective assessment procedure and tape application, to create pain relief and provides therapeutic load that encourages treatments to last longer. This gives your patients/athletes the freedom to continue activity and rehabilitation with ongoing analgesia.

FFT is currently the subject of a PhD which includes a randomised controlled trial.

FFT is now used by Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Massage Therapists (recently Chiropractors) in Finland, Israel, Middle East, Guernsey, USA, South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore, England, Scotland, New Zealand and Australia.

Please see the Workshop dates Page.

You will learn taping techniques, FFT principles and concepts that can be applied to most musculoskeletal pathologies and can be immediately incorporated in your clinic/club.

The following programme is taught to serve as a framework for the treatment of multiple conditions presented to therapists.
