Functional Strength & Conditioning (Kinetic Link Training)

Physiotherapists are increasingly utilising exercise in the management of a wide variety of clients. The skills taught on the course are designed to efficiently deliver improved movement outcomes and superior results for clients.

Functional Strength and Conditioning (Kinetic Link Training) will educate physiotherapist in the developing and evolving field of functional resistance training. The course has a strong emphasis on the creation and delivery of movement-focused, biomechanically balanced strength training programs. The course explores current concepts and innovative ideas with respect to functional strength training & movement restoration. Participants will be studying the effective design and delivery of resistance training programs to achieve: improved daily movement, optimal human biomechanics, recovery in rehabilitation, and (when appropriate) advanced athletic performance. There is a significant practical component to the course with 60% of the course focussed on the teaching and performance of correct exercise technique. Participants will explore the latest evidence-based theoretical concepts and learn dozens of practical exercises, which can be used to better manage all levels of clients from de-conditioned and rehabilitation through to high performance and athletes. The course recognises that functional strength and conditioning is an essential component of the end stage rehabilitation (following injury or illness) of all clients wishing to return to 100% function, in everyday movement demands, occupational demands and sport.

This course is designed for all physiotherapists who choose to utilise functional movement restoration and strength training exercises in the management of their clients. Those who will benefit the most are physiotherapists who are seeking an evidence-based and systematic approach to designing & delivering effective functional strength training programs
