KC Online: Coordination Efficiency Low Back & Hip


Description
Delivered by Mark Comerford, this course is specifically designed to help clinicians deliver targeted movement retraining to successfully manage each patient’s pain, pathology, and compromised function of the low back and hip. The module can be taken as standalone course or as part of the Kinetic Control Movement Therapist (KCMT) accreditation route. Totalling more than 8 hours of education, the course is split over 13 sessions, including an extensive exploration of the Kinetic Control framework, testing protocols, and retraining interventions. Checks on learning are included to support clinical application of the content. In addition to clinical insights from Mark, further sessions on the concepts and application of retraining principles have been added to further support the integration of the KC approach within the clinical setting.

Course delegates will gain the most from this course if they have already viewed the following sessions from the Kinetic Control Movement Therapist Foundation Module; 1-12, 14-15, 20, 22, 24. Course content is supplied for 12 months with options available for ongoing access.
