COURSES FOR RMTs - a learning continuum

What is a learning continuum you might ask?
A continuum is something that keeps on going, changing slowly over time. ​ A 'learning continuum' embraces the concept of always learning. Exploring anatomy, pathologies, techniques and even self-care, offers a space to better understand yourself and your body, the challenges that you experience in daily life, and ways of taking care of your body, mind and spirit* as a valued RMT.

Anne has developed these learning opportunities to engage therapists in a safe and relaxed environment, focusing on treatments of specific areas of the human body in the RMT Courses; ~ and on stress, trauma awareness and balance in the Happy + Healthy RMT Series.

Courses @ Wortley differ from traditional classroom style courses in an open yet intimate and small group setting. Class size is limited to 6 practitioners, allowing for more one-on-one learning opportunities, and collaborating with colleagues and classmates.
​
​Hosting a Course at your own space is also an option. If you have a group of RMTs interested in taking a course at your clinic or space, contact Anne to arrange the details and make that happen!

Anne has developed these workshops and learning opportunities specifically to offer a new view to treating structures in an area of the human body.  to engage people in a safe and relaxed environment, focusing on treatment, techniques and care of specific areas of the human body.

Each workshop explores the anatomy of the specific area of focus; common aches, pains and complaints; guides you through accessing and propping the structures, soft tissue techniques; and offers ideas for client home-care.

These are safe, informal and interactive classes. Courses @ Wortley have a maximum of 6 students. This offers more table time, one-on-one instruction, and promotes an intimate setting for learning.

I look forward to learning together with you!
