This course will give you the introductory theoretical and practical skills to apply the key concepts of this intensive and neuro-active exercise approach immediately in clinical practice.
The course comprises two parts, e-learning theory (Level 1) and 1 day in person workshop (Level 2). The e-learning includes video modules that teach the foundations of neuroplasticity to improve function, quality of life and long-term exercise behaviour in people with Parkinson’s disease. This must be completed prior to the practical workshop.
The in person workshop demonstrates how to bring the core neuroplastic principles into clinical practice. Level 2 helps you to build on your knowledge of assessment, exercise prescription and motivational coaching to make a significant difference in people’s lives. It is ideally suited to Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Exercise Physiologists with experience in Parkinson’s.
Level 2 is conducted as an interactive one day PRACTICAL WORKSHOP. Work with your peers and patient volunteers as you learn to implement a neuroplastic approach.
