Finding the Funny Bone: How humor can improve your practice

This one of a kind workshop also presents mind/body techniques to help physiotherapists live an optimistic and resilient life in a challenging clinical environment.

Focus: The interpersonal relationship between the physiotherapist and the patient is a key component of the successful treatment outcome. This workshop will help you bring the lighter side into the serious business of improving your patient’s health.

A creative partnership among clinical techniques such as manual therapy, myofascial release, leading edge psychological tools and dynamic neuro-linguistic programming (connecting with people skills) brings a refreshing approach that is particularly effective with chronic and stress related conditions.
