Physical
In-Person Course
“There are many things that I enjoyed about the training with Brendon, but some include:
-
Brendon’s ability to convey complex topics and sensitive information is admirable. You make it so easy to learn.
-
Brendon’s relaxed approach and non-judgemental style really encouraged me to participate actively.
-
The pace: It's surprising how much we were able to cover because nothing felt rushed or overlooked.
-
I loved the case studies. These really consolidated my learning and encouraged us to think/appraise what we had learned.”
- Lysia Gregory, Head of Physiotherapy, who arranged for 15 allied health professionals to attend the two day training.
