Let’s talk this week about injury prevention, management and why, as a PT it’s SUPER important you’re all over this. Injuries happen guys – they happen outside your sessions, during your sessions and when you least expect it. With today’s desk bound culture and postural implications, people are not moving so freely and are less coordinated in their movement patterns. Your job as a PT is firstly to minimise the chances of these happening, but then, once they have occurred, ensure that you can get your clients back up and running asap.

Our Injury Prevention and Management Course is designed to provide you with practical “how to” strategies, skills, and confidence to safely assist clients through their recovery from the common musculoskeletal injuries.

You will learn the MUST and the MUST NOT DO’s in injury recovery:

When should I ice or heat
When is it safe to start moving/training again?
Am I clear on the dangerous moves that I should not be doing once someone has injured themselves?
When should I refer a client to an allied health professional such as a physiotherapist or chiropractor?
