This course explores Movement and the Movement System. The Movement System is an important concept for physical therapists to understand; particularly those who seek to achieve the full potential of their critically important role in supporting a healthy society. Movement is the action of an entire system and its component parts; these include muscular, skeletal, neurologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and metabolic components. This course will explore some of the basics of understanding movement and go on to explore the current thinking on Movement and the Movement System.

Aims

Handy course to open up how simplistic approaches to correcting movement can have dramatic changes on pain experienced by patients. A good delve into some objective measures which may be applicable in personal practice.
