ANN COOLS ONLINE LEVEL 2

SHOULDER REHABILITATION: WHAT’S NEW FROM A SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL POINT OF VIEW?
LEVEL 2

What is the Online Course:

 ANN COOLS recently held her first Level 1 Shoulder Course in a new Corona friendly format due to Corona restrictions and the feedback from the course participants was superb.

We were the moderators and managed questions via the Chat function and we were all pleasantly surprised at how well the course went.

Therefore, we have now chosen to set up a new Online Level 2 Course for those who miss a good shoulder course in these Covid19 times.

THE CONTENT is the same as in her original Level 2 Course, but it is now online via teams. Furthermore it will be possible (and optional) to by an add on practical day to complement the online teaching and thsi day will be held in Copenhagen.

Ann Cools teaches all the theoretical content from her original course, supplemented by many video demonstrations of studies and exercises during the 2 online days.

For those who miss the practical part of the course, she has set up an 1 extra day of live teaching in Copenhagen next year, where all the manual techniques are demonstrated and tested with feedback from Ann Cools.

The course can be purchased as a 2-day online course or as a 3-day combined online / live course.

This means:

2 days of pure online teaching via Teams on the 2 scheduled days where Ann teaches at home in front of her computer.

1 extra day (which is optional to purchase) with the practical techniques which are planned with a date and held in Tårnby.

See the course content here

SCHEDULE of the online course is built up around modules of one hour of teaching, followed by 15 minutes for questions and breaks along the way.

The days last approximately from 9.00-15.00.

All questions from the course participants are collected via the Chat function and managed by us as moderator during the question sessions.

PRICE

2 online days: 330 EUR

1 practical day 200 EUR

Normal price for the Level 2 live course is 530 EUR

If there should still be Corona restrictions when the practical day is to be held, we will find a new date with Ann Cools. If you do not want to participate in this new date, you can get money for the practical day returned.

EVENT:

Copenhagen Shoulder Conference 2021

Fysioterapikurser.dk has a 5 year anniversary next year and to celebrate we would like to make a special event!

We are therefore pleased and proud that we have succeeded in bringing almost all of our educators together to an exciting theme day on the shoulder, which we call “COPENHAGEN SHOULDER CONFERENCE”

To spice up the program, we have also invited two new teachers. Lyn Watson, who comes all the way from Australia, and Klaus Bak, specialist in orthopedic surgery.

ANN COOLS LEVEL 2

SHOULDER REHABILITATION: WHAT’S NEW FROM A SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL POINT OF VIEW?
Level 2 Live in Copenhagen

We have invited Ann Cools to Copenhagen in March 2021 in the hope that we will have the opportunity again to hold live courses “in vivo” as it has been before Covid 19 hit the world.

If it is not possible to hold the course, all course participants will be contacted and given the opportunity to complete the course online instead or have their course fee returned.

You can participate in the level 2 course without having been to the level 1 course.
