Course outcome:
Rather than trying to teach a specialized, separate treatment modality, or assessment protocol, this course aims at bringing a variety of approaches together and helps the practitioner to decide on what is the best fit in dealing with that patient and problem. Emphasis is placed heavily on figuring out the root cause of the runner’s injury, rather than just diagnosing the pathology and treating it locally.
- The course is aimed at practitioners that deal with runners of any level and distance.
- It aims to bring together a realistic way of dealing with runner’s emotional and mental states, a thorough and complete physical assessment, and practical and effective treatment tools.
- After completing the course, a therapist should feel comfortable and confident in dealing with a runner from the initial point of consultation, to where the runner is happily back on the road.
