ADVANCED MASSAGE TECHNIQUES
My name is Kirsty Ritzema. I am 25 years old and work as a sports therapist in a private musculoskeletal clinic in Sunderland. Over the years, I have worked in the fitness industry, worked in sport, worked as a mobile therapist treating muscular complaints and now I work alongside an osteopath to correct imbalances in the musculoskeletal system as well as treat injuries (ranging from acute to chronic).

After being in practice as a qualified sports therapist for 3 years after completing a 3 year University Degree, I feel that I need to keep my advanced skills sharp to provide an A* service for my clients, so this is why I enrolled on Sue Lincoln’s Advanced Massage Techniques course. I wasn’t quite sure where the level of knowledge bar was going to be set before I went on the course and wasn’t sure if it was going to be an easy ride or be challenging for me. I was hoping for a challenge to get my brain working again and really make me think more about applied anatomy. Sue did not fail me. This course was challenging and made me think about the structures of the body in great detail (something I think we all forget to do from time to time). This course got me really excited about exploring the body again and reminded me of why I love my job!
The course content was thorough, yet not too mind blowing and Sue managed to make it fun. Sue put everything into working context so that it made everything easier to absorb because you could see how the techniques would fit into your working day. I love how courses like this always iron out your bad habits as well which is important in practice so you stay safe and effective during your work. I am extremely pleased with the course that Sue Lincoln delivered and I was blown away by the amount of knowledge Sue has to share. She is warm, easy to talk to and works in the industry so she could relate to all of us.
