As a physiotherapist, your expertise is crucial in accurately assessing and addressing your clients’ movement issues. The LINK Foundation Course provides advanced biomechanics training to identify the root causes of movement dysfunctions and develop personalized treatment plans beyond standard care.
Whether working with athletes, post-operative patients, or those with chronic conditions, this course equips you to optimize movement patterns, reduce injury risk, and improve the quality of life for your clients.
Part One – Theory: October 19, 20, 2024
We dive into contemporary biomechanics theories, offering a solid framework for assessing functional and dysfunctional movement patterns in your patients. Learn to apply critical thinking to your treatment choices, regress or progress exercises, and modify interventions to ensure optimal outcomes.
Part Two – Application: November 30, 2024, Dec 1 2024
As a physiotherapist, you understand the importance of hands-on learning. The second weekend of the LINK Foundation Course provides structured mentorship that integrates theoretical knowledge with practical skills, empowering you to apply biomechanical principles in your clinical practice.
What you’ll learn:
• Conduct comprehensive gait analysis and dynamic assessments critical for treatment planning.
• Delve into motor control: foundational principles and effective loading strategies.
• Identify and address stability vs. mobility needs in your patients.
• Apply the latest research to clinical decision-making.
