Massage Courses That Nurture, Heal, and Empower

Real connection. Real confidence. Real hands-on care.

Massage is more than technique - it’s a way to help people heal, relax, and thrive. Our courses are rooted in evidence-based practice and delivered by experienced professionals who care about your success. Whether you’re changing career or building on your existing skills, you’ll gain the confidence and compassion to make a lasting difference.

Massage Courses

Find the path that’s right for you.

Whether you’re drawn to the calming world of holistic massage or feel called to treat chronic pain and injury, we have a course here to match your needs.

If you want to support relaxation and wellbeing in a spa or wellness setting, our Holistic Massage course is for you.

If you’re looking to go deeper - helping clients with pain, injury, and mobility - our Neuromuscular Therapy programme offers the advanced training you need.

We know there are plenty of massage courses out there - but at NTC, we go beyond the basics. You’ll train with fully qualified tutors, exceed minimum standards, and graduate with real-world skills that prepare you to start strong.

Our courses are led by John Sharkey, an internationally respected authority in the treatment of myofascial pain and injury - so you can trust you’re learning from the best.
