This
2-day course is designed to help you understand the cause of injury, and how to
prevent problems from developing again. Most sports injuries are accumulative in
nature, but what are the mechanisms that have contributed to the onset?
What
biomechanical factors are involved and how can we assess these efficiently to
best help our clients:
-
What
is the effect of a restricted ankle joint on the rest of the body?
-
Does
a calf muscle tear because it is weak or because something else is putting
it under excessive strain?
-
How
do we deal with an injured client who is not responding to treatment?
This course will develop your assessment and rehabilitation
skills. A range of therapists such as massage therapists, sports therapists,
pilates teachers are being consulted more and more by elite athletes and the
recreational athlete. Become more confident when assessing these patients and
understanding how and why the injury has occurred. Now is the time to improve
your understanding of assessment, prevention and how to develop an effective
treatment plan.
Participants should bring some loose clothing and maybe
trainers.
This course is not only about how we develop an injury (or how
we think we do!) but also a structured way to assess a client and some treatment
approaches to common problems seen.
Cameron will demonstrate some different types of stretches,
which stretch more than just muscle. The participant does not need to be
an athlete but will need to know how to perform some of the routines that he
will demonstrate. Also Cameron will show some revitalising and preparing
routines, please note there will be no need for participants to partake in
vigorous exercise on the day!
Also by popular demand Cameron will include some simple
examination techniques which participants can practice.
