Over 16.5 million people in the UK live with a neurological condition - and that number is growing. Most have limited access to qualified therapeutic support because specialist training for massage therapists simply hasn’t been available at this level. Until now

Why Become a NeuroMassage Specialist?

This is not CPD for the sake of CPD. Every course is built around clinical outcomes and professional results you can measure.

Consistent Referrals

Neurologists, rehabilitation teams, case managers, and NDIS plan managers regularly refer clients to specialist therapists. Without the qualification, those referrals go elsewhere.

Insurance Cover

Top Insurance firms like Towergate, Westminster, and Physique - all recognise Neuro Training School qualifications. So, you can take any neurological clients with complete professional indemnity cover.

Charge Higher

Specialist practitioners commands a specialist fee. They consistently charge higher session fees than generalists - because the expertise is genuinely rare and the client outcomes are measurably better.

Clinical Reasoning

General training teaches technique. Specialist training teaches reasoning. You’ll now understand the clinical 'why' behind every session. Ex: why a hemiplegic arm responds differently to pressure.

Stroke & the Nervous System:
NeuroMassage for Stroke Survivors

For qualified massage therapists who want to work safely and confidently with stroke survivors - in private practice, rehabilitation settings, care homes, or home care.

What You Will Learn

You will learn how to adapt massage techniques for stroke-affected limbs, work safely with spasticity and tone, manage session timing, and collaborate with stroke rehabilitation teams.

Clinical Outcome

You will be equipped to deliver safe, evidence - informed massage to stroke survivors at all stages of recovery - from acute rehabilitation to long-term community care.

Questions We Get Asked a Lot

Yes. The NeuroMassage Professional Training path is exclusively for qualified massage therapists and bodyworkers. This is not an entry-level course – it is postgraduate specialist training that builds on your existing anatomy, physiology, and technique foundation. If you are not yet qualified as a massage therapist, the NeuroWellness path may be more appropriate for your current stage.

Yes. Neuro Training School professional courses are recognised by Towergate, Westminster, and Physique insurance providers in the UK, and by Massage and Myotherapy Australia (MMA) for Australian therapists. This means you can take on neurological clients with full professional indemnity cover for that specialisation from the moment you complete your course. We recommend confirming with your specific provider before your first neurological client session, as individual policy terms vary.

CPD hours are confirmed at accreditation and are specified on each individual course page. All courses are accredited by the CPD Group, whose hours are recognised by the major massage and complementary therapy professional associations in the UK and Australia. If you have a specific CPD hours requirement from your association, check your individual course page or contact us and we’ll confirm the hours directly.

This is the most common question we receive – and it’s a fair one. Our courses are not replacing hands-on clinical practice. They are building the neurological and clinical reasoning knowledge that makes your hands-on work safer, more informed, and more effective. The neuroscience, the contraindications, the clinical decision-making frameworks, the understanding of how each condition presents and progresses – all of this can be taught and learned rigorously online. You bring the hands. We give you the brain to use them better.

Courses are self-paced so completion time varies. Most therapists complete an individual course in 4–8 hours of study time, spread across their own schedule. There are no deadlines and no live attendance requirements. You have lifetime access, so you can revisit modules as your clinical experience grows and new questions emerge.

Directly, yes. Neurologists, rehabilitation physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and case managers regularly refer clients to specialist massage therapists – but they need to know you have the clinical credibility to work with their patients safely. A CPD Group accredited NeuroMassage qualification is a recognised marker of that credibility. Many of our graduates report their first specialist referrals arriving within weeks of completing their first course.

Almost certainly. Most therapists who work informally with neurological clients discover through these courses that they have been managing certain presentations by instinct rather than by clinical understanding. The courses close that gap — not to tell you what you’ve been doing wrong, but to give you the rigorous theoretical foundation that makes what you’re already doing defensible, insurable, and significantly more effective. Many experienced therapists find the clinical reasoning modules the most transformative part.

The NeuroMassage Professional Training courses are exclusively for qualified massage therapists. They are CPD-accredited, clinically rigorous, and insurance-recognised. The NeuroWellness courses are for carers, support workers, NDIS workers, and family members – they require no qualifications and focus on practical everyday skills rather than clinical specialisation. The two paths serve entirely different audiences and should never be confused. If you are a qualified therapist, the Professional path is always the right choice for your continuing development.
