Reading & Resources
Resources
I wanted to create a resource page that you can come to for all of your Physiotherapy needs, and will update this page as we progress.
Some of the links below are affiliate links, and at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you decide to make a purchase. I only recommend companies or products that are helpful, not because of the small commission I make if you decide to buy something.
Top Recommendations
Online education
Clinical Edge membership.How could I go past the courses, conferences, online education, webinars and podcasts that we provide? :) New videos are added every month, with presentations from leading clinicians with a practical focus, so you can get stuck straight into the material in your clinic.
