Clinical Anatomy & Palpation Course

This comprehensive course is designed for clinicians, physiotherapists, students, and academic instructors aiming to strengthen their anatomical knowledge and refine their hands-on palpation skills. Led by the esteemed Jon Hobbs, the training introduces methodical, easily retained techniques for accurately identifying musculoskeletal structures through palpation.

Participants will engage in focused theoretical sessions followed by extensive practical application, targeting all major regions of the body. These evidence-based strategies support precision in assessment and treatment planning, with direct relevance to clinical practice.
