The rest of the course.

The purpose of this post is to review what we've done so far, and where we are going with the course.

So far in Healthcare programming, we've investigated
  • General principles
  • Injuries & how these affect Healthcare programming
  • Stretching exercises
We have a break from content in this course now for a few weeks. In the week following the next block, we will start looking at the theory behind the use of strength training and balance exercises. Then on the 28th of April you will be investigating these types of therapeutic exercise in the classroom.

We expect that by this stage you should be incorporating these types of exercises into your clients treatment programmes.

In the week starting the 25th of May, we will have a look at some ideas around client motivation & compliance, then following that the class work will be based around supporting your development of healthcare programmes with your clients & completing the assessment.

Assessment
For future reference, the assessment has now been posted to the course page, and is also available here.
The assessment schedule is in excel format. If you can't open it, email David, and he'll email you back a pdf version.
