Palpation & Handling

Develop confidence in your most important clinical tools - your hands.

This practical CPD course is designed for healthcare professionals who rely on skilled physical assessment and manual treatment.

Suitable for:

  • Osteopaths
  • Physiotherapists
  • Massage Therapists
  • Sports Therapists
  • Manual Therapists
  • Medical Practitioners, including GPs
  • Students approaching qualification

Although many practitioners believe palpation is a skill they've already mastered, experience consistently shows otherwise.

Participants frequently discover new ways of interpreting what they feel, improve their handling techniques, and develop greater confidence in their clinical decision-making.

The result is not simply better palpation—it is better patient care.

Why This Course Was Developed

The course grew from discussions with highly experienced physiotherapists, many with over 25 years of clinical practice.

Despite their experience, they openly recognised areas where confidence in palpation and physical assessment had diminished over time. Certain techniques had become less familiar, while opportunities for reflective practice had become increasingly rare.

At the same time, newly qualified practitioners often face the opposite challenge: enthusiasm combined with uncertainty.

Whether you have two years' experience or twenty-five, there is always room to refine your clinical touch, improve observation, and develop greater confidence.

This course creates the time and environment to do exactly that.
