Hands that Feel and Heal
Diagnostic Palpation of the Cervical Spine
Christopher graduated as a physiotherapist in Australia in the 70’s and started practicing as a manipulative physiotherapist since the 80’s. He was one of the fore-fathers of manipulative physiotherapy in Hong Kong. He is returning to Hong Kong for a short time and this seminar is an excellent learning opportunity for all physiotherapists especially if you are keen to improve your clinical skills in the examination and treatment of the cervical spine.
