Content areas include regional structure and function in normal and pathological states and scientific bases of soft tissue injuries and biomechanics of these tissues. Theory and practice of assessment and management of musculoskeletal injury will be covered including manual assessment, treatment including exercise prescription and movement analyis of normal and injured individuals.
