Cochrane Castle primary, in West Johnstone, has been involved in the Massage in Schools programme for over six years.

From Primary 1 to Primary 7 the pupils take part.

They enjoy the relaxing effect which prepares them to be calm and focused for the next task. The adaptable style of the massage ‘story’ allows teachers to change it to suit any topic being studied.

Most of our teaching staff have now completed the initial training. I can recommend it as one of the most enjoyable courses you are ever likely to attend. It is informative and practical and leaves you feeling completely relaxed for the rest of the day!

Parents are happy to report that they are often on the receiving end of a practice massage.
