PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Education and Training
The FIT Institute offers specialised courses for healthcare professionals, personal trainers and coaches. Our mission is to train practitioners to improve the management of painful MSK conditions and sports injuries through practical, applied training programs developed by Dr. Mark Scappaticci.
Why Train With the FIT Institute
-
Emphasis on patient comfort and safety
Learn to apply techniques that are most comfortable for patients, with thorough instruction on patient safety throughout every program.
-
Optimised learning leading to true mastery
Our approach is based on instruction that is understandable and easy to remember, with extensive practice to ensure mastery — not a listen-and-forget program.
-
Deep understanding over rote pathways
Foundational concepts build an improved ability to understand underlying causes, biomechanics and neurological mechanisms — analysis over memorisation.
-
Immediate application and patient benefits
Use techniques right away to improve treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes. Participants can integrate what they learn into any clinical setting immediately.
-
Instructors with deep clinical experience
Dr. Scappaticci brings over 20 years of clinical and teaching experience, supported by a highly experienced assistant instructional team for hands-on lab sessions. -
Techniques that ensure optimised results
Modality effectiveness is optimised when true causative factors are addressed. Our approach teaches participants to find, feel and consistently identify underlying causes.
