Courses
Aimed at professionals such as physiotherapists, strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers and prosthetists and orthotists, our award-winning, flexible provision offers a range of courses to suit your schedule.
We offer concise 1-hour sessions to comprehensive 2-day workshops, for small and large groups. . Our curriculum is specifically designed to bring biomechanical theories to life, explaining how the theory can enhance your analysis and interventions for musculoskeletal health issues.
Explore specialist courses such as gait analysis, return to activity, prehabilitation and musculoskeletal changes through the life-course. Our tailored courses will meet your specific needs, to deepen your understanding and skills in the field and gain valuable insights to optimize your approach to musculoskeletal health.
This is the ideal educational opportunity for those aiming to improve their clinical outcomes and patient care in musculoskeletal health.

people with disability
Types of Courses
We offer packages available for 1-2-1, small group or conference settings
One to One Education
If you have identified a learning need, to help you to practice more effectively, get in touch and we can tailor a session for you
Small Group Session (up to 10 people)
Ideal for a clinic or personal training group of people who would benefit from an in-depth CPD service to upskill on a topic of interest.
Conference/Keynote/Large Group
Lectures to large groups who wish to hear about new findings and upskill on applying theory to practice
BACPAR Keynote
This was an excellent, engaging and award-winning key-note presentation on the mechanics of gait. Siobhán engaged a large and varied audience and everyone left the room more informed and ready to put theory to practice
National Sports Complex, Mauritius
This 1-day theory and practice workshop on return to sport was excellent. Siobhán is engaging and knowledgeable. I recommend this course for all Sport Medics
BAPO Conference
Siobhán presented an excellent lecture on gait analysis and why it is important, she brought the biomechanics of prosthetic gait to life with the gaelic football.
