We’re heading into the holiday season, when your patients will either keep progressing with their rehab program, or give their exercises a miss for a while and risk an increase in symptoms, skip appointments in the new year, and disappear off your list. 

How can you prepare & motivate your patients for the holiday period, or effectively hand over care of your patients to another therapist, so their pain and strength keep improving?

In this live mentoring session, the Clinical Edge presentation team of Specialist and Titled Physiotherapists will reveal to you:

1. How to keep your patients engaged and progressing over the holiday period.
2. If you’re going away, how to effectively keep in contact with patients or hand patients over to other therapists, and avoid losing them over the Christmas period.  
3. How to help kids and young athletes stay active and manage load over the holidays, to stay strong and healthy and avoid overuse injuries early next year.

Prepare your patients now, and set yourself up for a successful holiday season and new year with this free mentoring session.

Apophyseal injury in children and adolescents are common and usually respond to simple unloading interventions. But what is the underlying pathology and why do some children succumb and others not? And why do some apophyses become painful and others fail completely with a complete avulsion? Despite these questions it is an area that is under-researched and few people have a specific interest in this area. 

Listen to the insights of Dr Matthieu Sailly, who is a French sports physician who has expertise and research interest in injuries in young athlete. He was the head of the Aspire Academy medical centre where he worked extensively with highly trained adolescent athletes and developed experience on growth related injuries and long term development strategies for immature athletes in various sports.
