Occlude is the leading provider of courses in occlusion training in the Nordic region andhas delivered more than 80 lectures, workshops, and courses at physiotherapy clinics, hospitals, healthcare centres, training facilities, educational institutions, and conferences both nationally and internationally.
Occlude’s courses are based on the latest scientific research, combined with many years of practical experience and collaboration with physiotherapists, doctors, and other healthcare professionals. A course provides participants with both a solid theoretical understanding of occlusion training and concrete, practice-oriented tools that enable safe and effective implementation. Upon completion, participants are immediately able to apply occlusion training in their clinical practice.
A basic course is structured as a 5-hour program, including breaks, and consists of a combination of theoretical instruction, training protocols, determination of individual occlusion pressure, case-based discussions, and hands-on practice with the equipment. The course can be tailored in both content and duration to meet your specific needs.

At Occlude, we continuously strive to share the latest knowledge, research, and practice, and to inform professional groups and stakeholders about occlusion training. During the COVID-19 lockdown in Denmark, we therefore organized three free webinars with a total of more than 270 participants.
