Managing Low Back Pain with Integrative Lifestyle Medicine Programme

It was an excellent presentation on the conservative management of knee osteoarthritis. The speaker gave a clear and concise approach to the assessment and management of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The question and answer section at the end was excellent.

This course discussed how many popular activities could enhance the lives of people with Parkinson's. Z Altug searched the research literature to back up this information. I liked that quite a number of his articles are from non-English journals. (which they often get overlooked). My takeaway message is that when working with patients with Parkinson's, you can be creative and look at treatment options with a much broader focus.
