What
We love when new research is published, or someone offers a new perspective on practice! Part of the course is answering, what we known about exercise, physical activity and persistent musculoskeletal pain!
Why
Knowing that something "works" or "doesn't work" is not enough. Our course investigates why physical activity and exercise has the effect we think it does. We also look at why we might ask certain questions during a clinical interview, but also why we might favour a particular style delivery and communication.
How
The nuts and bolts. It's great to learn what is useful and why that is, but how exactly do you take this and make it meaningful? We take priority in this course to breakdown the practical implications of everything we learn.

What ESSA members have to say:
"Excellent course for a new graduate or those who have been an AEP for many years to refresh understanding of complex pain. Easy to follow, practical application of theory, and tips how to best cater for clients in their unique pain experience. Lots of resources and readings to take away. Thoroughly enjoyed and applicable to practice."
