At pt Health we believe continuing education is a major component of what being a physiotherapist is all about. That's why we've created a calendar of informative educational courses for students and post graduates.  Our courses are designed to share, learn and discover new and exciting bits of knowledge conveniently in one location!

If you're an educator and would like to share your knowledge, consider working with pt Health Physio Clinics. Contact us with your course details and if it fits our educational course model, we contact you to discuss further.  Be sure to include the location, time, date and cost of the course as well as a description of what the course will entail.
