A key barrier to implementing CPGs is the lack of engaging professional development resources that cover the principles of exercise prescription and progression, including how to apply them.

TREK exercise has been established to bridge the gap between health professionals and exercise prescription guidelines to improve knowledge and apply to a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, populations and pathologies.

This project received funding from the Pat Cosh Trust. The Pat Cosh Trust was established in 2010 with funds bequeathed by the former Physiotherapy Board of Victoria for the purpose of advancing education of all Victorian physiotherapists.
