Gait Analysis CPD Course

Gait Analysis can be a hugely beneficial tool for runners, but often not for the reasons we are traditionally taught. Despite the common use of Gait Analysis to screen runners for ‘biomechanical flaws’ to reduce running related injury and/or increase running performance, the success of such is often hit & miss. 

In the CPD course ‘Gait Analysis for Runners: A Modern Approach, Running Injury & Performance specialist Matt Phillips takes you through all of the traditional elements of Gait Analysis, and then draws upon the research to provide you with the knowledge & skills to put together a modern, evidence-informed gait analysis service, individualised for YOUR business and YOUR clients’ needs, be that indoor with a treadmill or outdoor with ipad/tablet.

🗨️ Why This Course Matters

Effective communication is at the heart of quality healthcare. Whether you’re supporting a client or patient through health related behaviour & lifestyle changes, or collaborating with colleagues, your ability to communicate clearly, empathetically, and persuasively can dramatically influence outcomes. Rather than blaming clients for ‘not doing what we told them’, we now understand that achieving a behaviour or lifestyle change, even if temporary, is often not as easy as it sounds, and we the practitioner can often be the catalyst for either success or failure.

‘Communication & Behaviour Change Skills for Clinical Practice‘ is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the skills and strategies needed to navigate the complex human dynamics of clinical practice. Delivered online by Matt Phillips, Running Injury & Performance Specialist and host of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, the course will guide you through a selection of approaches that illustrate how small, simple tweaks to our normal way of communicating can help clients & patients embrace positive, meaningful behaviour change, and see opportunity in our professional advice rather than hinderance & challenge. Blending evidence-based communication techniques with practical behaviour change models, the course will help you to:

✨Build stronger relationships with patients
✨ Encourage adherence to treatment plans
✨ Handle challenging conversations with confidence
✨  Promote long-term health behaviour change

Over the three sessions, you will explore real-world scenarios, practice key techniques, and reflect on your own communication style. By the end of the course, you will have a toolkit of approaches to enhance your clinical effectiveness and improve patient outcomes.
