Dedika is a platform where you learn by doing—like creating a business proposal, becoming a nail technician, or mastering a new tool. No matter your goal, the best content on the topic already exists. But it’s often in another language, expensive, scattered online, lacking hands-on activities, or part of a course that’s too long for busy people. That’s why Dedika has its own method: we find the best material wherever it is, organize what fits your goals, review it with experts who are available to answer your questions, and create practical exercises so you can learn by doing. You’re at the center of your learning journey and know yourself best: choose the content and course length, whether you want to study online or offline, and in the format you prefer—video, text, audio, or summary. Learn your way, with only what makes sense for you. Here, every moment you dedicate counts more, and you reach what matters faster.

Our courses include a summary at the end of each chapter, which you can download as a PDF and print.

Comprehensive Patient Assessment

Lesson 1 • Objective Physical Examination
Covers postural analysis, range-of-motion testing, and neurological screening. Provides measurable data to complement subjective findings.
Lesson 2 • Integrative Diagnostic Reasoning
Synthesizes subjective, objective, and functional data into a working clinical diagnosis. Teaches hypothesis generation and differential reasoning specific to integrative practice.
Lesson 3 • Outcome Measures and Progress Tracking
Selects validated outcome tools to monitor patient progress across physical and psychosocial domains. Connects measurement to evidence-based treatment adjustment.
Lesson 4 • Subjective History Taking
Teaches structured interviewing to capture pain history, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors. Forms the first layer of the integrative clinical profile.
Lesson 5 • Functional Movement Screening
Introduces standardized movement screens to identify compensatory patterns and dysfunction. Bridges structural findings with real-world movement demands.

Chapter 3See details

Manual Therapy Techniques

Lesson 1 • Joint Mobilization and Manipulation
Teaches graded oscillatory and thrust techniques for spinal and peripheral joints. Develops safe, effective hands-on skills for joint dysfunction.
Lesson 2 • Soft-Tissue Mobilization Methods
Covers myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue techniques. Addresses soft-tissue contributions to pain and movement restriction.
Lesson 3 • Clinical Application and Safety
Applies manual techniques to case-based scenarios with emphasis on dosage and safety. Reinforces clinical decision-making before supervised practice.
Lesson 4 • Neural Mobilization Techniques
Introduces neurodynamic assessment and mobilization for peripheral nerve sensitization. Expands treatment options for patients with neural-component pain.
Lesson 5 • Principles of Manual Therapy
Establishes biomechanical and neurophysiological rationale for manual interventions. Provides the conceptual framework for all technique sections that follow.

Chapter 4See details

Therapeutic Exercise and Movement

Lesson 1 • Mind-Body Movement Practices
Integrates yoga, tai chi, and Pilates principles into therapeutic exercise programs. Addresses the mind-body connection central to integrative physiotherapy.
Lesson 2 • Exercise Prescription Principles
Covers load, volume, frequency, and specificity principles for therapeutic exercise. Establishes the scientific basis for all subsequent exercise programming.
Lesson 3 • Strength and Functional Conditioning
Progresses patients from isolated muscle activation to integrated functional strength. Bridges rehabilitation to performance and daily activity demands.
Lesson 4 • Neuromuscular Re-education
Teaches proprioceptive and motor control exercises to restore neuromuscular function. Addresses movement dysfunction identified during assessment.
Lesson 5 • Home Program Design and Adherence
Develops patient-centered home exercise programs with strategies to maximize adherence. Connects in-clinic gains to long-term self-management.
