Palpation Skills for Physiotherapists – Professional Online Certification

The Palpation Skills for Physiotherapists certification is a professional online certification that advances one of the most essential clinical skills for all healthcare practitioners, which is effective palpation. This certification is specifically tailored to physiotherapists, manual therapists, and rehabilitation practitioners interested in improving their diagnostic and assessment capabilities through a hands-on training course.

Each step of the course highlights the anatomical landmarks to find, how to differentiate muscle, tendon, ligament, and bone, as well as how to assess dysfunction through touch. Practice demonstrations and hands-on learning experiences directly address how to transfer theoretical concepts into precise clinical assessment.

As participant's palpation skills increase and become more accurate, the participants' diagnostic confidence increases, and the likelihood of clinician error reduces, as well as the development of a more effective treatment plan. This certification package includes palpation in conjunction with clinical reasoning to help practitioners connect findings from the assessment to a meaningful rehabilitation plan.

The accreditation of the course means participants will receive certification in a hands-on assessment process, regardless of clinical environment; physiotherapy clinic, sports rehabilitation setting, or acute care settings. Improving clinician´s palpation skills will improve clinical outcomes and clinician/patient trust and satisfaction. This course is ideal for physiotherapists looking to improve their palpation skills and elevate their standards of care.
