Corrective Approch to the Back-Thoracic and Lumbar Pain
A.Y. 2021/2022
Learning objectives
The course provides theoretical and practical knowledge on the kinesiological approach and on muscle-bone-joint pain and dysfunction of interest to physicians, physiotherapists, and graduates in physical education.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will acquire the ability to apply the correct physical activity in patients with various back problems after they have received physiatric treatment and physiotherapy and assist them in recovering normal mobility and motor ability.
