What are the different types of musculoskeletal issues that can be addressed with Yoga Therapy?
A Yoga Therapist works with every aspect of the individual and approaches musculoskeletal health issues from a whole-person perspective. Wether it’s knee pain, osteoarthritis, whiplash, frozen shoulder or a herniated disc, Yoga Therapy supports and complements conventional treatment by considering not only the physical, but also psychological, emotional, energetic, environmental and social factors that affect the evolution, management and recovery from these specific health issues.
What is the assessment like?
The end-of-module test is an online test that covers the content of the module. You’ll have full access to the module materials during the test, so you can refer to them as needed. The test will include multiple-choice and long-answer questions, but you’ll have the opportunity to resubmit your answers if you’re not satisfied with your first attempt.
The goal of the test is to assess your understanding of the material and your ability to apply it to practise. It’s not intended to be a difficult test, but it will encourage you to have a good understanding of the material.
The test will be open for submission for 2 months after the end of the module. This means that you’ll have plenty of time to study and prepare for the test.
