Through the use of videos and images this course will aim to provide a clear approach to improving our rehabilitation skills. It will focus on which patients in practice could benefit from rehabilitation therapy and provide a practical guide on how to start introducing rehabilitation techniques simply and efficiently into day to day practice.
