Reconciling Biomechanics with Pain Science

K-Town Physiotherapy Arlington, 775 Midpark Dr., Kingston, ON K7M 7G3
OPA members: Login before registering for member pricing: $430 + HST
Non-members: $550 + HST
This 2-day course is geared towards the health care provider and fitness professional. With emerging research there is often the feeling that a traditional approach needs to be wholly discarded. Instead, this course helps the therapist to integrate the pain science and biopsychosocial model of pain with traditional biomechanical techniques.
Thanks to all who joined us!
