Course Overview

The human body is often pushed to its limits in pursuit of sporting excellence. Unfortunately, injury can be an unwanted consequence of this. You’ll learn how to keep athletes in top condition and how to help injured athletes through rehabilitation, by planning and implementing a comprehensive program. Imagine the feeling when you help someone return to peak fitness and competitive sport.
