Simple but Great Course!!
I really enjoyed the course. It doesn't get lost in complications and unusual cases, but rather focuses on the 90% of patients we see every day in the clinic. It covers all the points, in⁸cluding manual therapy and scapula dyskinesis, but without giving it more importance than it deserves. It's extremely realistic! The strong point of the course is the prognosis and how to categorize patients based on irritability! 100% recommended.
