The National Sports Medicine Institute of the UK (NSMI) is a registered medical charity that, in partnership with Osteopathic Sports Care Association (OSCA) run national programmes of post registration education.

This is a new one daycourse is designed to cover the rehabilitation of lower limb injury from the initial onset through to the return to full fitness.

It particularly concerns the identification of the cause of the injury due to poor biomechanics and the strategies to correct this. Exercise progression, particularly when and how, is often a difficult decision to make. The course discusses how these decisions can be made and the ways in which tissues can be loaded to produce regeneration without further damage.

The treatment and rehabilitation of chronic tendon and muscular injury is described in detail with reference to common problems in the lower limb such as Achilles Tendonopathy.
