Manual Therapy Retreats

Professional development, ACE style.

The ACE Manual Therapy Retreat is not your average professional development workshop.

It’s an immersive week of hands-on learning, clinical conversation, connection, travel, food, culture and adventure – all brought together in one unforgettable experience.

Each Manual Therapy Retreat is a different experience.

Each retreat is hosted in a beautiful destination and designed for health professionals who want more than a weekend workshop. This is your chance to step away from the everyday, reconnect with your clinical thinking and professional development, learn alongside like-minded practitioners and enjoy some once-in-a-lifetime experiences along the way.

The Manual Therapy Retreat is open to all manual therapists including; Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Myotherapists, Remedial Massage Therapists, Soft Tissue Therapists, Sports Therapists, Chiropractors and Exercise Physiologists.

Learn, connect and explore

ACE Retreats bring together engaging, clinically relevant education with the kind of shared experiences that create genuine connection.

Across the week, attendees take part in a series of practical workshops and discussion sessions covering topics relevant to manual therapy and musuloskeletal practice. The education is designed to be clinically useful, evidence-informed and immediately applicable – with plenty of opportunity for discussion, reflection and practice.

Between workshop sessions there is time to explore, relax, eat, laugh, meet new people, and enjoy the destination.

Think high-quality professional development, stunning locations, incredible food, group activities, new friendships and loads of fun.
