Exercise Prescription Essentials

This workshop is designed for physiotherapists and health professionals with 0-6 years of experience who are technically competent but want to develop the patient engagement skills that transform clinical outcomes. It's ideal if you're building an exercise therapy caseload and seeking systematic frameworks for working confidently with complex patients.

Not at all. This course bridges the gap between university training and clinical reality, making it especially valuable for new graduates. You've learned the technical skills - this workshop teaches you how to make them work with real patients who don't behave like textbook cases.

University programs excel at teaching anatomy, pathology, and exercise science. What's typically missing is the complexity of patient engagement - why some patients commit to programs while others quit, how to work with fear-avoidance, and how to design collaborative programs that patients actually follow. This workshop fills that specific gap.

While designed specifically for physiotherapists with 0-8 years of experience, the adherence-focused content and systematic frameworks are valuable for any physio and health professional wanting to improve patient engagement and build their exercise therapy caseload.

This is the only workshop that integrates patient coaching with exercise prescription within physiotherapy scope. While other courses focus on exercise technique or advanced pathology, we teach the human skills that make programs actually work - adherence strategies, patient coaching, collaborative program design, and working with complex humans.

Nothing immediately! The waitlist is free and requires no payment or commitment. You’re simply expressing interest in the March 2026 workshop but you’ll get early access to registrations and secure early bird pricing. With spots limited, it’s worth it.

Absolutely. If you're frustrated when patients don't follow through with your well-designed programs, or if you struggle with fear-avoidant or skeptical patients, this workshop addresses exactly those challenges. The coaching integration and collaborative approaches aren't covered in traditional continuing education.

Immediately. The frameworks are designed for use with your very next patient. You'll leave with assessment tools, communication scripts, program design templates, and practical strategies you can implement the following day.

Your technical skills are the foundation this workshop builds on. If you find that patients don't engage despite your excellent programs, this addresses the missing piece - the human coaching that determines whether patients actually follow through with your clinically sound recommendations.

Absolutely. The course specifically addresses "working under constraints" because that's the reality of practice. The frameworks are designed to be efficient and integrative - enhancing your existing workflow rather than adding extra steps.

Yes! While this isn't a hands-on skills workshop, you'll participate in case study discussions, practice assessment frameworks, design programs collaboratively, and engage in coaching conversation exercises throughout both days.

The Exercise Prescription Essentials workshop will be held in Melbourne in late March 2026. Specific dates and venue details will be announced to waitlist members first. Early bird pricing is available for the first 30 registrations.

Your registration includes the full 2-day workshop, comprehensive course workbook, downloadable resources and frameworks, lunch and refreshments, 14 CPD hours, and ongoing access to a graduate community for continued support.

This is a comprehensive 2-day intensive workshop covering all 6 modules (approximately 14 hours of content plus breaks). The format allows for interactive practice, case study discussions, and real-time Q&A throughout.

Bring comfortable clothing suitable for movement demonstrations, a notebook, laptop or device, and an open mind ready to challenge traditional approaches to exercise prescription. All course materials and frameworks will be provided via electronic resources.

Lunch and refreshments (morning tea, afternoon tea) are included both days. This allows networking time with fellow participants without needing to leave the venue.

No special equipment is required. You should have foundational physiotherapy education and be working with (or planning to work with) exercise-based rehabilitation patients. Your existing clinical knowledge provides the foundation for the human skills we'll develop.

Absolutely! We offer group discounts for clinics sending 3 or more physiotherapists. This also helps build consistent approaches across your team. Contact us for group pricing details.

Yes, this workshop provides 14 CPD hours and you’ll receive a certificate of completion.

Full refund available up to 4 weeks before the workshop date. Between 4-2 weeks: 50% refund. Within 2 weeks: no refund, but you can transfer your registration to another physiotherapist or a future workshop date.

Exercise Prescription Essentials is the foundation course that teaches patient engagement and program design frameworks. Pilates Training Essentials and Strength Training Essentials build on this foundation to teach modality-specific clinical reasoning. We highly recommend completing EPE first, though it's not mandatory.

We're exploring an online version to reach physiotherapists who can't attend in person. Join the waitlist to be notified first about any future online offerings or additional face-to-face dates in other locations.
