Insight from Talli
- This course will focus more on the psychosocial aspects of sexuality and provide physical therapists with more of a language and tools to identify and engage with issues that can arise in the clinic when dealing with such intimate matters. In other words, less physiology, more psychology. Physiotherapists who prefer to stick with discussion muscles and fascia and range of motion may not enjoy the course. But, for physios who want to broaden their scope in terms of creating a therapeutic relationship with their patients, and in general are interested in mental health and psychology, will likely enjoy the course.
