This course presents an evidence-based approach to Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD) and integrates CSP WAD guidelines with emerging evidence. The course is specifically designed for manual therapists involved in the assessment and management of WAD with an emphasis on clinical reasoning, decision making but with the added dimension of management.

The course demystifies assessment and management whilst allowing the therapist to use their skills within the "guidelines and evidence", incorporates advanced rehabilitation for WAD, and medico-legal aspects of the approach to treatment and note/report writing.  Improved clinical reasoning, practical diagnostic and management skills will provide a direct impact on day-to-day clinical practice.
