Introduction to Musculoskeletal Sonography for the Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, and Sports Medicine Practice

This two-day continuing professional development course offers an introductory, clinically oriented overview of musculoskeletal (MSK) sonography, tailored for healthcare professionals working in rehabilitation, chiropractic care, and sports medicine. The course is designed as a foundational learning experience. It does not aim to train participants for independent diagnostic use of ultrasound, but rather to provide a structured understanding of how ultrasound imaging can support clinical reasoning, enhance patient communication, and complement physical examination. A key feature of the course is the integration of dynamic (movement-based) ultrasound assessment, allowing participants to observe musculoskeletal structures in motion and relate imaging findings to function. The teaching approach reflects current perspectives in healthcare, emphasizing patient-centred care, responsible imaging use, and inter-professional collaboration with imaging specialists.
