With his multimodal approach to musculoskeletal healthcare, Ben Cormack is perfectly suited to diving into the practical and philosophical ideas around the thing we call "treatment". Whilst we probably all default to the idea that treatment is the modality that we provide to the client (eg massage, dry needles etc), the complexity of the person in pain, their context and their goals means that perhaps we need to reassess exactly what treatment is and how we deliver it in our clinics. Matt, Anna Maria and Ben cover a wide range of concepts and ideas, ensuring that they deliver practical, applicable advice that can be applied the very next time you see a client. And if you're interested in learning more from Ben, he is running his fantastic 2-day Therapeutic Movement & Exercise course in Exeter on 5th & 6th February 2022.
