Therapeutic Movement & Exercise with Ben Cormack

The School

This is NOT just another exercise course about sets and reps! This 2 day course is about applying movement and exercise to people in pain.

EX4 1AF

Exercise and movement are fantastic tools to help our patients but the complexity and uncertainty often present in clinical practice can make its application tough especially with painful problems! 
What’s the best exercise? Will my patients enjoy or even do it? What if I underload, overload or even make them worse? What does the evidence say I should do? How do I communicate this with my patients?
Couple this with many of the current concepts in exercise &amp; fitness simply not applying well to people in pain and this can be frustrating for therapists and patients alike. . 
The amount of information out there on this subject can be overwhelming, confusing and time consuming to process and we need to learn how to cut through the noise quickly to get to what really matters to help our patients.
Functional therapeutic movement enables you to navigate this uncertain environment by guiding you in making sense of the evidence around exercise and its application, in a way that will practically apply to your patients in clinic straight away
