Workshop snapshot

On this half-day workshop we will have you knowing your knees in no time! As well as assessing the knee through observation and palpation, Jane Johnson, Chartered Physiotherapist, will take you through all the knee tests outlined and their relevance to the pathologies covered.

"Thank you for the course "Know Your Knees". I just wanted to give you a positive feedback on the day. On the same day I had a client with some knee issues and I felt confident to use what we practiced earlier that day. I enjoyed the course as it was simple, straightforward and with the repetition I could immediately use the new skills- I've been on many CPDs were I had the reread the script and study through it before applying the "new tools". I wasn't sure what to expect and as I have a book with all the assessments and tests I wondered if the course will be " worth the money" .... It def was and I'm really glad I came because it's so much better to be taught by you Jane than reading in the book AND actually walking away being comfortable to immediately apply what I've learnt to my client on the same day."
