An Introduction to K.O.R.E. Therapy

KORE training takes Personal trainers, Pilates instructors, sports therapists and Physio’s into a realm of fast diagnosis, assessment and treatment of the many issues that undermine strength, performance and recovery.

This workshop will be aimed at therapists, personal trainers and Pilates instructors, physio’s, nurses etc who are looking to significantly develop their diagnostic and treatment skills. KORE Therapy, which has been in the making for over 20 years, offers a wide variety of unique techniques to get people back to optimum health as quickly as possible. It utilises the best techniques from both Eastern and Western medicine, thus enabling us to offer the very best advice and treatments to everyone on an individual basis.

KORE has a unique diagnostic and assessment system that views the body from many different angles & connections to find the root cause of each condition, consequently the treatment has been found to be very successful on chronic conditions that have not responded to other forms of treatment.

• Back pain
• Headaches
• Constipation
• Diarrhoea
• Menstrual difficulties
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Migraine
• Arthritis
• Frozen Shoulder
• Asthma
• Weight Loss
• Skin Complaints
• Vertigo
• RSI
• Colds
• IBS/Crohn’s Disease
• Sports Injuries
• Insomnia
• Stress
• Neck problems
• Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
