When we wrote this book, the aim was to distil all the seating knowledge we had accumulated over the years from doing seating assessments into a single publication. This is an invaluable resource for OTs, physios or carers who need advice on specifying seating for their patients.

On the 17th and 18th August our amazing Chinese Fire Cupping and Advanced Fire Cupping courses are running in London again! Chinese fire cupping is a "must have" for pulling toxins and tired blood cells up, out of the muscles, to below the surface of the skin so that the lymphatic system can get rid of it. It's also great for improving the efficacy of your massage treatments, and as a bonus it allows you to have a 10 minute paperwork break before your client goes! One question we often get asked is, "can you do the advanced the day after the foundation?" The answer to this is yes, if you do both days, it gives you a bit more practice too, whist introducing you to the more advanced techniques that can allow you to stand out from the rest.
