Participant Feedback

Removed the fear of using electrical stimulation (as our department hadn’t started using it yet)

I loved the practical component and also the verbal explanation, photos and demo of treatment ideas Great to work with real patients and get to see if any improvements occur from day to day (which they did).

I liked seeing REAL patient improvements that could be achieved in one day.

Excellent suggestions about treatment and environmental setup to minimize compensations, and increase out patients ability to set up their practice at home.

Made me feel more confident to use a mirror box and mental practice.

The most beneficial course I have attended and very practical, so I feel confident to apply information tomorrow (at work)

Challenged my ideas about ‘tone’

Photos in the workbooks were very clear in explaining set-up and movements. Provides practical examples to use in future.

Our patient made an improvement since yesterday! Our new patient provided the opportunity to work on new skill acquisition. After we changed our approach, it was great to see progress – the progress our patient made was exciting.

Great to work with patients – I think the 2 hours each day was about right.

Lots of excellent examples for strength training; easy practical ideas.

I did not know about constraint therapy so appreciated definitions and research.

The workshop opened my eyes up to how little I push my patients to work longer at one specific task, which is more challenging to them.

I think the pre-reading was great. Relevant to the course and it made me motivated to do some anatomy revision.

Presenters were very approachable – advice and feedback from presenters very helpful.
