Nationally Recognised Training
The Certificate IV in Musculoskeletal Therapy introduces you to basic Bowen Therapy training and the foundations of MST. This latter category trains students in its unique bone and muscle relationships; bones being a major measurement of body misalignment and muscles being the vehicle of correction. Other body diagnostic techniques such as range of joint motion evaluation and some orthopaedic tests are all added as necessary aspects of thorough assessment processes. Our treatment tools consist primarily of a cross fibre technique, however point holding, frictional moves and deep tissue techniques are all taught as part of the overall training needed to correct a wide range of body conditions.

Applicants without the requisite qualifications but with demonstrable knowledge and relevant experience are encouraged to apply and will be considered individually.
AAOWT reserves the right in accordance with the Australian Quality Training Framework guidelines, to update and/or alter the units offered to ensure valid and current qualifications.
As the units of competeny in the MST specification subjects are similar to that of certificate IV in massage therapy practice in the Health Training Package therefore no credit transfer or RPL will be granted for MST specialisation subjects.
Student clinic which allows students to gain practical experience is an integral component of training and must be fully completed and verified to gain competency.
