See what is inside

Massage Sequence 1 is the first hands-on sequence in the Active Performance Therapist pathway. It walks through the full sequence as it is delivered on the clinic floor: set-up, seven techniques worked down one side and repeated on the other, and the finish.

The course opens with an anatomy primer on spine and hip landmarks, so each technique is placed by palpation rather than guesswork.

Who it is for

Therapists starting the AP certification pathway. No prior AP course is assumed.

Completing this course earns a certificate of completion. AP Therapist level certification also requires supervised hours, case studies and sign-off at the clinic; buying a course does not confer the level on its own.
