Course Overview

John Gibbons will safely teach you how to use Grade 1-4 mobilizations and some very safe Grade 5 manipulations (commonly known as an HVT – High Velocity Thrust). During this course you will also learn specific osteopathic mobilization techniques and muscle energy techniques for the pelvis, sacroiliac joint, lumbar and thoracic spine.

This is a very intense course using a high standard of practical skills; therefore, you must be an experienced therapist to attend this course e.g. Osteopath, Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Sports Therapist, or be a student of Osteopathy and / or Chiropractic with an excellent knowledge of Mobilization / Manipulative techniques.

Sports therapists and Sports Massage therapists are also able to attend as long as they have the necessary experience.

Only very safe techniques will be taught.

Course Instructor

John Gibbons

World-renowned osteopath, author, and lecturer.

I trained and qualified in Osteopathy, Sports Therapy, Exercise Rehabilitation, Spinal Manipulation, Acupuncture and Nutrition, painstakingly developing a treatment method that is as fast and effective on office workers and housewives as it is on top athletes and super-fit soldiers.

That journey culminated in the Bodymaster Method® – a unique fusion of therapy techniques rigorously designed to remove pain and restore mobility without recourse to drugs or surgery.

Physios, Sports Therapists and Doctors seek me out to learn techniques that enable them to restore movement and remove pain from patients who previously believed that painkillers and surgery were their only choice – that they simply had to live with pain on a daily basis.

Today, my books and articles are published internationally, I lecture at Universities, get invited to speak all over the world and train thousands of physical therapists in The Bodymaster Method. Now my motivating passion is to teach the Bodymaster Method® to as many Physios, Sports Therapists and Doctors as possible, and most of my time is dedicated to running training courses and seminars to establish a network of Bodymaster Practitioners worldwide.
