*For Healthcare Professionals Only*

This in-depth clinical workshop will take you from theory to clinical application covering the basic principles and clinical utility of Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST).

Delegates will be offered the opportunity to develop an understanding of the core principles of RMST and its theoretical underpinning(s), report on past and present outcome data and consider current treatment approaches for various patient groups using both inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength training devices. 

Extensive research strongly advocates for the utilisation of RMST (Respiratory Muscle Strength Training) in addressing Dysphagia and Dystussia within a wide spectrum of conditions, including respiratory disorders, brain injury, head and neck cancer, and voice disorders.

This session will be delivered online. 

Registrations close 20th May or when attendance capacity has been reached.
