Fast-track injury rehab for elite athletes.
Special skills are required to get pro athletes back into competition quickly and safely, and to prevent injury recurrence – skills that are often kept in-house and guarded. These secrets are rarely taught outside elite in-house clinics and lockerooms because million-dollar contracts are at stake, and sports management teams know that the right skills can easily make the difference between a slow or a quick return to sport; a one-off injury or recurrent chronic injury that threatens the career of a valuable athlete. Now you can learn these secrets, and how to customise them for the athlete or the superfit, at our new course: REHAB ELITE.
In Rehab Elite, our Senior International Rehab Trainer Educator, Australian Sports-Specialised Physiotherapist Chris Mallac brings together all his 20 years of experience with elite athletes, his own research and writing as the world-renowned Sports Injury Doctor, and his passion and effectiveness as an Educator, to this highly practical 2-day face to face course.
