Terri
It was a very detailed and informative course that i feel has helped me develop my knowledge and skills loads, especially being a newly qualified physio. Both lecturers were great and I felt I could always ask for further explanation on certain aspects if needed.
Doug
Course delivered exactly what I have expected. Information was backed up by research. Practical training was done in a simple matter and can be easily reproduced in the clinic. Shoulder and elbow MWMs used today with great effect!
Robbie
Thank you for a great course guys. I have a lot still to learn but this has given me some new treatment ideas that I can introduce straight away”.
Joe
The updates on recent evidence for rotator cuff function and relating it to rehab was useful. Andrew was very clear with his communication and made it digestible by relating it to treatment too. Thomas is a great teacher that is able to make practical techniques easy to follow and provides a reasoned explanation for how they may work…whilst embracing the uncertainty.
Ian
The content was interesting and more importantly applicable – previous Shoulder courses I have been on have been only theoretical or not relevant to my practice.
