Following on from his hugely popular wrist and hand courses, Ian Gatt is back to make you feel more confident in managing sporting elbow injuries.
Sporting elbow injuries can occur in almost any athlete in all sports and in competing at all ages and levels. These injuries can have various causes such as acute trauma or overuse and range in severity from catastrophic to minor. An effective elbow management treatment plan should include the identification of the causative factors of the injury to guide the design of the management plan. It will also steer the rehabilitation progression plan in a systematic way, so the athlete can return to their prior level of function in an efficient and safe manner.
In two of our newest courses, Ian Gatt will guide you through clinically relevant anatomy and apply this directly to assessment and management of sporting elbow injuries. You will learn to apply your knowledge to return to play strategies.
