Cervical Spine and Upper Limb
A 4 day unit covering the cervical spine, shoulder, elbow and wrist/hand. The unit is highly practical and combines this with theory lectures, clinical reasoning, and a review of functional anatomy.
This unit provides core training that enables clinicians working in the MSK field to examine, diagnose and treat common disorders accurately and effectively. The units are ideally suited to clinicians working with MSK patients in all settings including hospital out-patients (physiotherapy, rheumatology), sport, general practice, private practice and orthopaedics.
