The last 2 weeks have been amazing as Diane Lee presented 2 of her courses for physios from around Australia and overseas. Diane took us on a deep dive into the upper thorax shoulder girdle and cranium. Amazing, challenging and a fantastic opportunity for everyone who took the time to learn with Diane!
