College of Applied Myoskeletal Therapy Postgraduate Soft Tissue training for Bodyworkers

Applied Myoskeletal Soft-Tissue Therapy, developed by Australian Soft-tissue Therapist, John Garfield, is a gentle, relaxing, and effective, non-oil, soft-tissue therapy for the assessment, treatment, and management of soft tissue injury, pain and dysfunction of the neuro-musculoskeletal system. It contains transverse soft- tissue moves, along with a wide variety of muscle releases involving various sustained holds to treat soft-tissue dysfunction. Applied Myoskeletal Therapy represents the development of more than fifteen years research and clinical experience and incorporates many safe and gentle methods that are not taught elsewhere. Designed as a postgraduate course, Applied Myoskeletal Therapy is a valuable complement to all therapies, including Bowen Therapy, Remedial Massage and its variations, Kinesiology, CranioSacral Therapy, Positional Release Technique, Reflexology, Aromatherapy and Physiotherapy without undermining the principles of any modality.

SEAN DINHAM – APPOINTED AS AUSTRALIAN AMT INSTRUCTOR

It gives me great pleasure to officially announce the appointment of Sean Dinham to AMT Instructor as from March 2025.
Sean is based in Adelaide South Australia and is keen to take the skills of AMT postgraduate training to qualified tactile therapists around Australia.

Sean’s experience is vast, and he has been running a thriving clinic in Adelaide for 18 years. His qualifications include Bowen Therapy Dip., RMT Dip., Kinesiology Dip., along with Applied Myoskeletal Therapy which he finds so valuable integrated into his practice.
Coupled with these attributes Sean is a natural teacher and has been teaching his main love, that of Bowen Therapy, for approximately 11 years and has recently been appointed as South Australian teacher for Fascial Kinetics (Bowen Therapy).

Sean is the perfect person to represent AMT as he has an incredible reputation as an excellent teacher, and I have witnessed first-hand the reciprocal respect Sean and his students/ colleagues share. Seeing the added value of AMT, Sean invited me to teach in South Australia in 2019 and this has resulted in regular yearly AMT teaching in South Australia.
Sean’s personality, along with his passion for Bowen Therapy and AMT of which he is very proficient in, made him an easy choice. Thank you and welcome aboard Sean.
Exciting times ahead for AMT!

TAUGHT IN 10 COUNTRIES SINCE 2014 this work will streamline your treatment due to its precise targeting of problematic structures. I have found, coupled with the pelvic work that this method has practically eliminated the need for clients needing to be referred out to a high velocity thrust style treatment as a large percentage of vertebrae respond beautifully to precise, gentle and safe soft tissue work.
SPINAL REFLEXES & THE NECK - (Treat the sacrum and release muscles effecting Dura and occipital muscles)
LEARN MOTION PALPATION OF THE NECK - (This extremely valuable assessment skill not normally available to Soft Tissue Therapists)
MANY NECK RELEASES - (You have no idea how free a neck will feel after this work is completed. Clients love this work!)
SEATED NECK WORK - Things change once in gravity. Iron out those restrictions that you missed in the supine neck work. Again these are the most effective seated work I have seen and why I want to teach it to you
LIGAMENTUM NUCHAE - This is my first specific neck correction as it releases so many neck muscles. This will amaze you at its effectiveness
CI - Some say the most important vertebra in the spine along with its Lovett partner L5. This is not effectively addressed in most Bowen teachings
NECK REFLEX - (The single best way I have found to align a vertebra quickly and gently)
UPPER TRAPS - (Learn an amazing way to return them to correct muscle tone without even touching them! I use this on almost everyone as the upper traps are the most common muscle to house trigger points)
PAIN BETWEEN SCAPULAS - Isolate the culprit muscle/s and treat accordingly
SUBSCAPULARIS - Learn a most effective way to treat this important rotator cuff muscle
UPPER THORACIC RIB FIXATION - Learn how to address the condition, which is often involved in shoulder, neck, and arm pain
And more...

Below is an unprompted comment from a very experienced Australian Bowen Therapist who attended my clinic recently. I addressed her with methods taught in the ABR Workshop Series. Although she offered to use her name, I have decided to leave it out. With much appreciation.

“To any UK therapists sitting on the fence about attending this course I just have to say how outstanding John’s system of combining Kinesiology assessment/ body reading, and Bowen Therapy is!
I was lucky enough to receive one of his treatments last week and seriously, John resolved so many muscular skeletal issues in one session that have been resistant to all of the other bodywork I’ve undergone in the past 10 years.
As well as my jaw, cranial and lumbar issues being sorted, some chronic stiffness in my feet has completely resolved (I hadn’t even mentioned this issue in the session as I assumed it was just my aging bodyworker body? lol).
His techniques and assessments are truly outstanding! This is incredible work to learn. So grateful John”
