Course Overview:

Do you know that 65% of breast and prostate cancer patients develop bone metastasis in the course of their lives post-diagnosis and treatment? Through direct access, these patients commonly consult physios for neck or back pain.

Join the Oncology Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association for an online course on the clinical recognition and management of bone metastasis.

The Oncology Division has put together an expert panel moderated by Shirin Shallwani to provide an overview of the nature and risks associated with bone metastasis as well as guidelines on functional management and exercise interventions. Cases will highlight clinical management within our physiotherapy scope of practice.
