The focus of the course is on pathomechanics and kinetic chain deficits as they relate to injury prevention and performance.
This course is TBC for March 2022

It covers pathomechanics, diagnostic imaging, initial management, rehabilitation progressions and key considerations for return to training and sport.

Injury Prevention & Performance Enhancement This course will provide you with the key skills used in the enhancement of sporting performance and prevention of injury. It covers the analysis of physical, biomechanical and technical needs of sport, identifying key factors affecting performance and injury prevention. You will learn how to assess athletes and implement an individualised programme designed to optimise movement efficiency, performance and minimise injury risk. You will learn how to develop a sport–‐specific screening assessment, how to monitor injury rates and target injury prevention strategies within different sporting contexts.
