Overview

This 2-day course has been shaped to combine effective methods of assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of the whole UpperLimb; Hand, Wrist, Elbow and Shoulder. The tutor has a strong background in the management of these areas and will present a course that will allow clinicians to enhance their existing knowledge and impact positively in their respective practice.

The content is constantly updated with new evidence-based practice from clinical experience, current research, and feedback from previous courses. To date the content delivered in various countries by the tutor has been positively received by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, sports therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, doctors, and other allied professionals. Whether you are working in a private clinic, hospital setting, ministry of defence (MOD) service, or sporting environment you will surely find the information to be immediately applicable to your role. These two days will engage your learning in an interactive and fun environment!
