Why attend the Upper Body Course?
This workshop is designed for Allied Health Professionals who work or wish to work with clients who experience sub-acute & chronic thoracic, shoulder, elbow and neck pain. The program will take you through the initial consultation, assessment, testing protocols and procedures. Delegates will learn effective programming principles and be taught how to design effective rehabilitation programs for patients with sub-acute & chronic thoracic, shoulder, elbow and neck pain.
The program is designed to take you through a clinical experience of what to expect with real clients with genuine pain and functional limitations from your initial meeting to implementing correct exercise prescription for various thoracic spine, shoulder and neck pathologies.
What is it about?
Moving away from traditional or routine approaches to treating pain and exercise prescription, this course offers a guide on how to decrease thoracic, shoulder, elbow and neck pain, along with an evidenced-based approach to conditions utilising real-life clients. This course will help you create a treatment plan that is most appropriate for them. This course will give you the confidence to guarantee clients improvement and have them telling you that want to make their next appointment.
To know what to do you must have the right answers, to have the right answers you must have the right questions, create the right plan, and you must have the right understanding of mechanics.

Why Am I Doing This?
People often ask me why I would share such information. Here's why:
For a start, I believe that exercise rehabilitation is one of the most beneficial forms of treatment. I also feel that practitioners don't feel that it is a specialised profession and that if you just give people any exercise it MIGHT WORK! We can do better than that! I have proven that by knowing what to look for in an initial assessment you can get results in 1 appointment and only need to give your client 2-3 exercises/stretches to do at home to get them wanting to come back.
I hate to see people struggle with pain and their injury. It breaks my heart watching so many people attending failing treatment, especially when the solutions to their pain are so simple (they just need someone to show them how and what to do). That person can be you.
And I figured showing you my greatest strategies to treat pain upfront was a great way of helping spread the benefit of exercise rehabilitation.
