Our latest training module for instructors who have completed the Nordic Walking UK ‘Wellbeing’ and ‘Essentials of Teaching MSE’ programmes, or who already hold a qualification in gym instruction or Exercise Referral, Advanced Wellbeing gives an increased understanding of common medical conditions that people in your groups may have and how to adapt the exercises within different components (warm up, main Nordic walking component, MSE and cool down stretches) based on these conditions. With a mix of theory and practical, this one day course also builds on some of the other components included in basic ‘Wellbeing’ including relaxation techniques / mindfulness and balance / coordination. Medical conditions considered include:

•  arthritis or other  musculoskeletal conditions
• diabetes
• asthma
• high blood pressure
• obesity

Whilst Advanced Wellbeing will not enable you to work with medically referred clients, or to specifically programme for the management or improvement of medical conditions, it will enable you to better work with people who wish to be able to exercise safely with a medical condition and gain the health improvement benefits of Nordic Wellbeing. The Advanced Wellbeing course is an ideal starting point for instructors considering the Level 3 Diploma in Exercise Referral. The course is worth 4 CPD points on REPs (accreditation pending).
