An introduction and comprehensive review of all things shoulders. This course is delivered in a hybrid format, with some content online, and some content delivered in-person. It replaces the 2-day shoulder course that Margie has previously offered. There are approximately 5 hours of content in this online section of the course, as well as worksheets and tasks to complete, so please allow enough time to digest the content and carry out the tasks. They are designed to maximise your learning.
This current course is designed for the team at Physio Mechanics in Auckland and access is limited to this group. If you would like to host a similar hybrid course, then please contact us.
