Gain the confidence and skill to strength train your patients.

Strength Training Essentials for Physiotherapists (Brisbane), delivered as a face to face course, provides clinicians with an easy to apply approach to the use of strength training within injury management and progressing towards return to activity. This course will guide you through the clinical reasoning, design and implementation of a comprehensive strength training and athletic development program for a range of common musculoskeletal presentations.

By exploring current rehabilitation and injury management guidelines, evidence-based exercises, concepts of exercise prescription and program design you will examine the role strength training plays within today’s biopsychosocial model of healthcare.

You will then join us for a face to face practical course that covers the coaching and adaptation of a range strength & conditioning exercises suitable during injury rehabilitation as well as exploring the programming of strength training exercises for various clinical presentations. Lastly, on online Q&A session allows course attendees to further discuss aspects of the course material with course presenter John Contreras.
