Grad Physio PD/Mentoring Sessions

Here at Therapia Physio & Pilates we are committed to engaging with the wider community, and doing our bit to contribute to the progression of the careers of many aspiring physios and health practitioners. Helping physio students and recent physio graduates is a real passion of Mukul’s, which he has demonstrated through his previous work as a Clinical supervisor and mentor for physiotherapy graduates at UniSA. 

To continue this work in teaching and mentoring the new generation of physiotherapists, Mukul will be offering an extended series of 10 FREE sessions for physios to upskill and learn more about how they can grow their careers. 

As part of these sessions, Mukul will cover hands-on skills, consult structure, communication skills and Private Practice Life. There will be six face-to-face sessions, each 45 minutes in length, with each session having a specific focus as outlined below:
