An Investigation of Aetiology and Associated
Prevention Strategies
• I am a physio student
• I am giving my presentation to my manager about the sport that I want to work in w
kickboxing
• This presentation will look at:
• Prevention models and Strategies
• Different risk factors
• Postural analysis
• Gait analysis
