exercise????? is this what you were thinking? because on the next competency it talks about manual modalities or something like that.

Let me know if this is what you thought it meant?

Do you actually need to write down the contraindications or just say they were covered in your uni teaching?

looking at comp 1.2.3 and 1.2.6 how did you show use of electrotherapy and manual techniques in neuro and respiratory?
