*NOW SOLD OUT
With our first UK course already done and dusted, Sports MAP is back with what promises to be an even bigger and better event this November with ‘The Difficult Foot and Ankle’.
Held at the world-class Manchester Institute of Health and Performance, we’re bringing together some of the best international clinicians to understand how they treat some of the most challenging injuries around the foot and ankle.
Aimed at experienced clinicians, this course will be highly practical and deliberately designed around workshops and hands on experiences in the gym.
Covering everything from posterior ankle impingement to end stage achilles tendinopathy, this is a rare opportunity to have intimate access to this calibre of clinician. With ample opportunities to ask specific questions and get the information you’ve always wanted to apply the very next day.
Additionally, it also affords a unique networking opportunity, by bringing together some of the region’s best sports physiotherapists from a range of clubs for a weekend.
We expect this to sell out, as spots are limited to ensure all practical workshops are of the highest quality.
