This workshop has 2 parts:
Level 1: Theory – Online learning module
The online video modules are to be completed in your own time prior to the face-to-face workshop.
This will help you understand how your patients can get more from their exercise program. Build on your assessment and clinical reasoning skills with a new toolkit designed as an early intervention strategy.
Level 2: Practical – 1 day face-to-face workshop
This fast-paced, in person workshop brings the theory learned in the Level 1 online module to life in clinical practice. Work with patients and other therapists as you go through assessment and treatment planning to ensure you can confidently apply the core concepts of this intensive and neuro-active exercise approach immediately in your therapy sessions.
