Treating Common Sports Injuries

4 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Stuart Hinds SMT

Sports injuries are rarely one-dimensional. Effective treatment requires assessment skill, soft tissue reasoning, practical technique selection, and an understanding of how pain, load, movement, and recovery interact.

Treating Common Sports Injuries provides a practical overview of sports injury assessment and treatment strategies for a range of common musculoskeletal presentations seen in athletic and active populations.

Presented by Stuart Hinds SMT, this course draws on more than two decades of experience working with Australian Olympic team athletes and teaches practical approaches that can be applied in massage, manual therapy, rehabilitation, and sports treatment settings.
