Manual Lymphatic Drainage

I recently took the Manual Lymphatic Drainage course here and can’t recommend the school highly enough.
Tony is a truly amazing teacher, knowledgeable and clearly an expert in his field. Not only was he patient and attentive to the class he is also funny and made the learning experience very enjoyable.
Don’t waste ur time looking/taking other courses, simply book with this school for a thorough and expert experience.
Will certainly study more courses here in the future :)

Good quality and professional teaching

I am so pleased with my experience and qualification from LSM. They are organised, the online resources and documents to support your study are really good quality and comprehensive and the teaching (with Yogesh) was excellent - both the theory and practice. They teach you to be a really good quality and professional massage therapist.

Great Level 5 Sports Massage Accredited Course

Completed a week of classroom training for my level 5 ITEC accredited sports massage qualification with the London School of Massage & the whole experience has been great. From learning new material to getting help with techniques to make us more efficient therapists. I can’t praise the school enough from the facilities, admin staff, tutor & material. Thank you!

Such a shame

Such a shame. The course had outstanding reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations but the way in which the team delivers A&P content needs to be reviewed. For anyone considering taking the sports massage course (level 3), please consider:

1. Course manual = 113 pages long
2. Revision guide: 8 x topics x 15 questions = 120 questions
3. Online quizzes: 33 x quizzes (around 32 questions each), multiplied by 10 topics = 10,560 questions (obvs some repeats)
4. Unupdated resources: there were several errors, typos & broken links on the website (as previously highlighted)

Unless you are a savant, no one can retain that much info in their head, whilst also:

1. Completing the coursework (5 x case studies) & home assignments (3250 words)
2. Preparing for the practical exam on the same day as the theory exam.

We had raised our concerns with the team and the director, but to no avail, as their disinterest was more than apparent; their unwillingness to discuss matters further audacity to deflect the blame on to the students was unnerving.

I can safely say this was one of the worst learning experiences of my entire life. Even as an Osteopathy student, my confidence has been completely knocked and I am not the only one.

For £600, there are honestly better options out there. I am going to advise that my university takes them off the list of recommended sites and then forewarn other students.

Dear Tommy

Thank you for your review, we are sorry that you are unsatisfied with your course.

We find your 1-star review particularly disheartening since your main issue has been with the A&P content, which is a pre-requisite and not covered on the course. As you know, all students are made aware of this when booking via the website and some re-iterated via e-mail.

We would like to stress that the quizzes are there to help you revise but compromise of approx. 900 questions as a resource. The 25 MCQ ITEC exams compromise of approx. only 3 questions per module, therefore the quizzes are provided to add variety as well as cover a range of topics per module. You are not expected to memorise every quiz answer but instead use them as a tool to test the knowledge you have retained from the reading materials we provide (as an additional resource) or previous A&P knowledge, which you gained at your Osteopathy college.
It is a shame that providing the resource of 900 questions is seen as a negative.

ITEC practical and theory exams have always been done on the same day as many students are travelling far distances and rightly do not want additional costs. For clarity, the theory exam is 25 multiple choice questions and is done as a 30 minute exam.

We have taken on your feedback and offered solutions in the form of recapping aspects of the course or retaking exams. I am unsure what else you would suggest is appropriate given the options available and that you perceive our offers to assist as a “blaming game”.

Our main and only concern is that students feel happy and confident with their new skills after completing their course and examinations with us. We are very sorry to hear this was not the case for you and would like to extend once again our offers of support and further help should you choose to take it.

outstanding

I've done a level 4 sports massage course and it was outstanding. It really prepares everyone single student on the course to be an excellent and knowledgeable therapist.

Cannot recommend LSM highly enough

Having had a thoroughly positive experience when completing our ITEC Level 3 relaxation massage course at LSM a few years ago, we opted to improve our skills a little with their 2-day Trigger Point Massage with Stretch Therapy Course. Our Lecturer was Bhavesh who is the Principal of the School. His obvious passion for his craft backed up 100% the profile we read in the excellent course materials which describe him as a " ... gifted teacher who has a knack of making subjects easy and understandable as well as helping individuals realise their full potential". The course flow was logical, relevant and easy to follow with Bhavesh's many anecdotes really bringing alive for us the learning and knowledge which he was imparting. As a fellow professional educator, I recognised a master when I saw one (current research certainly backs up the concept of "telling the story" as being an effective way for adult learners to take on board new information and get it to "stick"). Great course again LSM, thank you!

Just did Advanced therapeutic massage course at LSM and got so impressed! I can say for sure it was the best massage course I have had so far, just another level of teaching. My fellow classmates and me were so lucky to have Bhavesh as our tutor. Gifted tutor!
Definitely I will be back to get new skills for my massage practice.

Without doubt best massage school I have been.

Without doubt best massage school I have been. The teachers are always keeping an eye on everyone, telling students what to improve and also the positive things, which make students to feel more confident while studying massage. Even though it is a group course it feels personalized somehow since we get individual feedback everyday. Tony and Bhavesh really great teacher. 100% recommend school, I would definitely come for more courses.

Absolutely Positively Phenomenal

The quality of teaching here is absolutely phenomenal! I can see why LSM is labelled as one of the best schools in the world! My Tutors, Bhavesh and Tony, have gone above and beyond, and even make the difficult topics seem so effortless and enjoyable! You're greeted with a smile every morning when you walk into the school (shout out to Colleen, Nicky and Cecilia) and Ellie was extremely helpful when it came to getting coursework finished to a high standard. The icing on the cake for me was that I didn't just I learn about massage, I learned a lot about myself. Thank you to the LSM Family <3

Sports massage

Just did a level 3 sports massage course here, with brilliant class mates and thoroughly enjoyed it! Yogi was a highly supportive and patient teacher, who made sure we learned outside the box too. The course is packed with information and videos. Highly recommend!

2nd time returning

If you are thinking of doing a massage course I would recommend doing it with LSM. They provide a very personal and professional service. Both teachers I've had have been wonderful people with great skill at both massage and teaching, the later of which is very important to me as a student. More so this time was our teacher yogi, who breathed life into our classroom with every joke, anecdote, instruction or correction. There were no mistakes in Yogi's classroom, only better ways and safer practices. Would deffo come again if Yogi or John would teach the class.

Only if I could turn those 5 stars to 5 diamonds cause that’s what the London school of massage deserves .Let’s start with Cecelia she has a heart of gold . She is such a pleasant soul and made sure course work ans everything we needed for the course was on point. Excellent at her job . Yogesh Yogesh Yogesh words can’t explain grateful I am to have met you as a person and as a tutor , your knowledge is and personality makes you a legend in my book and my fellow class mates would say no different . For all the other people working hard on the back ground that we haven’t really interacted with but contribute to the making the London School of Massage the best in the county . What a school .

Fantastic school of massage that allows massage students to work on clients for their hours and has very good supervision. This mainly supplies Swedish massage rather than the more advanced massage therapy techniques, such as myofascial release.

The rates are low by comparison, primarily due to the massage therapy students working on clients at a very discounted rate in order to obtain their supervised hours of skill.

The students are well-trained and have both practical and theoretical coursework done, which gives the therapist a strong background in doing this type of medical and recreational therapy.

5 stars for this massage school!
