What will I learn?

Improve your physiotherapy skills with our Course for Physiotherapists Working With Older People. This course is for professionals who want to be very good at helping people who have had a stroke to get better. You will learn how to check patients properly, including how to test their balance and how strong their muscles are. You will also learn about how the brain can change and improve after a stroke. You'll learn how to create good exercise plans for people who have weakness on one side of their body (hemiparesis), and how to help them improve their coordination and balance. You'll also learn how to write down and explain rehabilitation plans clearly, how to make sure you consider what the patient wants, and how to manage any problems that might happen. Join us so you can change how patients are cared for and get very good results.
