The consideration of vascular pathology is of growing concern to all Manual Therapists involved in the management of neuromusculoskeletal conditions and we are pleased to be involved in the development of the work in this area.
This exciting new course introduces a series of Vascular conditions that every Manual Therapist should include in their knowledge base.
The aim of the course is to influence the thought processes by which the practitioner arrives at diagnosis and management strategies.
The course covers little known vascular causes of pain, which commonly mimic musculoskeletal conditions.
Practical differential diagnosis methods are covered including lower limb exercise testing.
The course is suitable for all musculoskeletal practitioners who wish to look outside their ‘usual’ scope of practice. Improved clinical reasoning and practical diagnostic skills will provide a direct impact on day-to-day clinical practice.
A systematic approach will provide the foundation for meaningful, successful and safe practice.
