The Knowledge Exchange is bringing one of their fantastic courses to the Mid North Coast on 21–22 March 2026, and we’re proud to host it right here at Wauchope Physiotherapy.

This is a great opportunity for physiotherapists and other clinicians across Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Kempsey, Laurieton, Coffs Harbour and the wider regional NSW community to access high-quality professional development without needing to travel to major cities.

A High-Quality Cervical Spine & Shoulder Course — Now Available Locally

We’re excited to host The Cervical Spine & Shoulder – Port Macquarie (21–22 March 2026), a comprehensive, evidence-based and biopsychosocial course designed for any clinician treating neck pain or shoulder pain.

Participants will explore:

Epidemiology and “big data” insights behind neck pain and shoulder disorders

Biopsychosocial Approach to Pain

The course digs into the latest pain science, including:
