  • learn about common surgical procedures including joint replacements, reconstructions and fracture repairs  
  • learn symptom recognition for a range of common muscle and joint injuries
  • perform bio-mechanical assessments and special tests
  • assess and treat (where appropriate) severe acute injuries 
  • give valuable guidance and positive support
  • help your patient reflect on and change negative life patterns
  • design physical and mental/emotional recovery and rehabilitation plans

 

A Foundation Award in Transformation Life Coaching is included in this Advanced Diploma course.

 

 

The holistic approach

 

Understand the interrelationship of joints, muscles and fascia and how these all need to work in harmony and balance to avoid problems. Now also add the power of thought, belief and intention and the effect this will have on the body, positively and negatively.

 

  • discover how your mind can affect your body
  • explore how emotions contribute to the physical discomforts patients may be experiencing
  • learn to observe for emotional postures and movements 
  • recognise the relationships between body areas and related emotions/life circumstances that can create symptoms there
  • listen to and guide your patient without crossing boundaries into counselling

 

Create a positive way forward for mental and physical well being.
