• Develop clinical skills in the assessment and retraining of movement control
• To use movement control tests to identify uncontrolled movement
• To classify uncontrolled movement into diagnostic subgroups
• Access a large range of motor control and movement retraining strategies
• Develop an assessment framework that will provide a diagnosis of dysfunction, pain sensitive tissues and pain mechanisms
• Use a clinical reasoning framework to prioritise clinical decision making
