Anyone can learn the ‘M’ Technique® – it is suitable for caregivers, family members, volunteers, patient ambassadors and friends as well as nurses, massage therapists and other health professionals.
The ‘M’ Technique® is different from massage – it is more like a choreographed dance. Each simple sequence is done a set number of times at a set pressure. The full body ‘M’ Technique® (practitioner course) can be learned in 2 days – usually over a weekend. The ‘M’ Technique® for Hospital course takes just 4 hours. Each course is taught by a certified RJ Buckle instructor.
The The ‘M’ Technique® course is accredited by FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists), CThA (Complementary Therapists Association) and IFPA (International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists) for CPD credit and is insured by Balens Ltd.
