Lifestyle Factors for Treating Systemic Inflammation in Rehabilitation

Course overview

This is an asynchronous online course designed for physiotherapists, occupational therapists, osteopaths, and other clinicians managing musculoskeletal pain. The course explores the role of lifestyle factors -- such as sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and stress management -- in influencing systemic inflammation and overall patient outcomes. Participants will learn how to integrate evidence-informed lifestyle strategies into rehabilitation programs, distinguish between health coaching and clinical scope of practice, and apply practical approaches to support patients' self-management. Clinicians completing the course will gain skills to incorporate lifestyle considerations alongside traditional rehabilitation interventions to optimize recovery and functional outcomes.
