8.30am - 4.30pm

Craig started working in men's pelvic health not long after his final Olympic Physio stint in Sydney. Since then he has worked with hundreds of men and trained many physios in Australia and overseas (UK, USA, Ire, NZ). His approach is very practical and grounded in clinical and exercise science with more than a dash of psychosocial embroidered on to improve male compliance and results. This course does not include any internal examination nor any RTUS assessment. Instead you will learn skills you can use in any practice which can then be imparted to your clients as they confront treatment and recovery from prostate cancer. Solid, not fancy. You will leave with new tools, confidence (even if beginning this journey) and resources.
