Event Details

Metabolic conditions like diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis are rising globally, requiring physiotherapists to manage increasingly complex physical implications. These conditions significantly impact mobility, cardiovascular health and quality of life, making effective physiotherapy interventions crucial for patient outcomes. This course empowers physiotherapists with evidence-based strategies for managing metabolic conditions through targeted exercise prescription and lifestyle modifications. Participants will master advanced clinical assessment techniques and learn to design personalised exercise programmes for various metabolic profiles. The programme focuses on practical applications, combining the latest research with hands-on skills development. Participants will also learn effective strategies for patient adherence and behaviour change, enabling them to create sustainable interventions that improve physical function and metabolic health.

• Evaluate the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical manifestations of diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis to inform evidence-based physiotherapy interventions
• Perform comprehensive metabolic health assessments, including body composition analysis, metabolic profiling, and risk stratification for patients with metabolic conditions
• Execute appropriate exercise testing protocols for patients with metabolic conditions, incorporating safety considerations and contraindications
• Design and implement personalised exercise programmes that account for metabolic parameters, comorbidities, and individual patient factors
• Apply behaviour change techniques and motivational strategies to enhance patient adherence to physiotherapy interventions
