Introduction
After soft tissue injury, the human body transitions through various stages of healing. Each stage overlaps as different tissues heal at different rates. Many factors affect tissue healing, including the type of tissue, the extent of the injury, the patient’s age, and overall health. This course will take you through the stages of healing. It will explore what to expect during each phase and discuss ways that physiotherapists can help prevent chronic conditions from forming.
Aims
This course aims to describe the specific phases of soft tissue healing and explore how physiotherapists can assist the healing process.
Outline
This course is made up of videos, reading, forum posts and a final quiz. The course content is split into the following sections:
- Video
- Reading activity
- Quiz
Target audience
This course is aimed at Physiotherapy and Physical Therapy clinicians, students and assistants. Other interested professionals such as athletic trainers, occupational therapists, nurses or medical doctors interested in this subject are also invited to participate.

The simplicity of the course outline and the clinical reasoning case studies make it fascinating to the learner.
This course is an upgrade to what I thought I knew about wound healing!
This course will be an excellent help for physiotherapists and other allied professionals to provide scientific-based exercises to patients after injuries.
If you are a therapist or an athlete yourself, this course will offer some new insights for you and a deeper physiological understanding of injury and phases of healing. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This course is suitable for health care professionals, as they will become aware of common injuries you can find in patients. It could also help avoid these injuries.
This course is an excellent fundamental tool for new graduates looking for clinical guidelines and more senior clinicians needing a brush-up on physiological processes at work during injury.
It is a perfect course that covers the basics of healing. It helped me to refresh the information that I had previously learnt.
I would recommend such courses to my colleagues and juniors. These short courses help to brush up on knowledge and provide recent advancements in the field.
This course is truly exceptional. With an informative video presentation delivered by Ian Horsley, this course offers an unparalleled learning experience. Incorporating reading activities and quizzes ensures a comprehensive understanding of sports physiotherapy.

The course was very educative, and I have learnt a lot about connective tissue and how I can improve on the management of connective tissue, considering the time it takes to heal.
Ian Horsley's presentation was very informative and organized. He summarized the basic biological, physiological, and pathological principles in detail. I also benefited from the reading section and information. The videos attached were also a significant revision for me. I enjoyed this course and hoped to experience more courses with Plus.
This course changed my perspective on the mechanical loading phase. It is the best course to understand the tissues and the healing simply and effectively.
The course concisely explained our roles as physiotherapists in tissue healing and broadened my perspective of what I learned in class.
Thank you very much for this TRIAL course. After that, I decided to buy the full package and continue to improve my knowledge by taking courses from Plus!
