Here’s To S.O.M.
Formed in 79- is when it all began
Based on the work of Dr Cyriax- a clever man
With the aim to teach physios and doctors alike
In assessing, diagnosing + treating all to get right.
From histology, anatomy, examination + manips
The courses are full of many clinical tips
Tutors are knowledgeable, patient and fun
It’s amazing in 4 days what gets done
Things have developed over these years
Thanks to hard work, commitment and the occasional tears
From 3 core modules A, B + C
To now include advanced, injection and an MSc.
The modules are practical, informative + clear
With approximately 50 being run each year
Interactive, clinical, factual – what a lot
With a book of the course- what’s more to be got?
Teaching aids are used with no bounds
Flumps, tights, chicken joints will all be found
From case studies + assessments to exams and reflection
The courses aim to point all in the right direction
This year has been particularly exiting and cool
With the opening of head office in Liverpool
Headed by Julia, the C.E.O.
And run by David, Christine, Sharon + co!
Where do we go from here, there + now?
Prescribing for physios? Drs saying ‘back pain-wow!’
It’s all in hand with Principles, tutors, Council + all
Together “better training for better outcomes” they call
What a thirty it sure has been
“But give us some more” we hear the members scream
So I’ll ask you each to raise your glass
To the future, the present and the past
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOM!!
