A course by

Dr Suzan Cronje

"I truly enjoyed the course, as it was easy to comprehend and it assisted me in thinking of new practical ways to implement and prescribe exercise to my patients. It provided a holistic view on how to approach patients who struggle with exercising, how to meet them where they are at and to build from that. I will definitely recommend this course to any health practitioner."
