At Movement Therapy Education, we have observed an evolution in necessary skill sets over the past decade. Traditionally, Sports therapy, Osteopathy, Chiropractic and some Physiotherapy courses have heavily emphasised soft tissue/manipulative techniques and electrotherapy as their primary focus for MSK problems.
While these skills remain valuable, there has been growing scrutiny of their effectiveness for achieving long-term solutions for clients. In light of this, therapists must transition from a primarily passive approach to one that prioritises:
Movement
Self-assurance
Collaboration
These are essential components for aiding clients in their journey toward improvement.
The Exercise Therapist pathway comprises specific modules within the comprehensive Movement Therapy Diploma, with a specialised emphasis on exercise as the primary intervention to empower clients in regaining control of their physical well-being and overall quality of life.
