Why Clinical Physical Assessment?

This two-day workshop is designed to provide participants with practical assessment tools and hands-on experience to confidently evaluate posture, movement, and basic functional integrity within a wellness-based scope of practice.
This workshop is ideal for Registered Massage Therapists, bodyworkers, osteopathy aides, physiotherapy aides, rehabilitation assistants, wellness practitioners, and healthcare support professionals seeking to strengthen their assessment and screening skills.
