Evidence Based Soft Tissue Skills; 2-Day Course
Evidence Based Soft Tissue Skills; 2-Day Course
This is a thinking, hands-on course. It is ideal if you want to enhance your skill and range of soft tissue assessment and treatment techniques. You will also be able to apply these with an evidence base and greater depth of thought, and tailor them to the individual you are treating.
Kevin combines a wide range of clinical and teaching experience so you will leave this course with new ideas, a consolidation of current thinking and your manual and soft tissue skills and knowledge greatly enhanced. The whole course is designed to be integrated into your daily practice, so if hands-on skills is what you want to excel at, you will enjoy these packed two days.
The course is a mixture of discussions and practical. There are case studies to promote your clinical problem solving and integration of the techniques taught into clinical practice. Maximum 20 people.
