Course Outline & General Content
The aim of this course is to explore the current concepts in tissue repair, healing and recovery from injury and then to consider how manual therapy, exercise therapies and other interventions could be reasonably expected to influence the process. A consideration of the role of three electrotherapy modalities (Ultrasound, Pulsed Shortwave and Laser Therapy) will be included in the afternoon session followed by a brief consideration of Emerging issues with some other modalities which have a growing body of evidence and which are starting to move into the clinical environment (Microcurrent Therapy, Shockwave Therapy, Magnetic Therapy and Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS)).
The programme aims to be both evidence based and clinically applicable.
