FEEDBACK FROM CANADIAN CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES:
- This was an excellent course. One of the most thorough and practically applicable PT courses I have taken. I have a much better understanding of technique progressions and classification.
- I absolutely loved the course! It furthered my understanding from “use some repetitive movements” to understanding MDT is a comprehensive system used from the start to end of the clinical process.
- Most informative physio course I have taken. Couldn’t have asked for a better clinical instructor.
- I feel that the MDT courses have advanced my practice knowledge by multiple years and instilled more confidence when treating more complicated patients.
