Course Overview
Our courses are designed for Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) as well as GPs who have a specialist interest in MSK (Musculoskeletal) care.
Whether you're looking to enhance your clinical skills or gain more confidence in specific assessment and treatment techniques, our training is tailored to meet your needs.
Each 2-hour session is highly practical, with a strong focus on hands-on learning in a physiotherapy setting. We keep group sizes small to ensure every attendee receives maximum practical exposure and personalised guidance throughout the course.
