PHYSIOTHERAPY COURSES

Joint hypermobility is now recognised as a 'not so benign condition'. The decreased compliance alters the forces acting on the body and this affects the development of efficient movement patterns.

In the application of manual therapy techniques, Physiotherapists acknowledge that contraindications to treatment exist and should be respected at all times. Although always guided by the basic rule of never causing pain, therapists choosing to make use of SNAGS in the spine and MWMs in the extremities must still know and abide by the basic rules of application of this manual therapy technique...

The obvious opportunity in any conference is to enhance our learning within our chosen disciplines. Our second Conscious Movement Conference will follow a traditional learning model, focusing on international and national presenters who are outstanding in their fields and who are selected based on their wealth of knowledge.

A good awareness of the medico-legal and ethical aspects relating to physiotherapy is essential to all professionals. Medical Negligence litigation is showing a steady increase in South Africa and personal injury lawyers are looking at this branch of law with more interest. Physios need to be aware of the basic legal rights and duties relating to their practice to better protect themselves against the unsavory experience of a legal action.

This new and exciting course is for all health clinicians especially physios, chiros, kinesiologists, osteopaths, trainers and exercise specialists and will teach you how to identify and unlock the defensive patterns of the body.

This course will also look at how these patterns interrupt the body's normal biomechanics and how we can use Muscle Activation methods to release these patterns and in turn treat associated injuries and tissue dysfunction...

Much attention has been given in recent years to the development, maintenance and decline of functional stability of the locomotor system. Indeed, emerging research has proven the existence of the deep, or core, stabilizing muscles and their impact in controlling safe joint motion. This is especially true for the joints of the spinal column, where the complexity of the biomechanical and neurophysiological demands is phenomenal.

MAP provides a fresh approach to assessment, diagnosis and treatment of LBP. Discover the role of the Pelvis and Sacrum (to get to the base of) in LBP. Myotatic Activation Procedures will MAP out the different impairments (dysfunctions) of the SIJ, ISJ, Pubis symphysis and L5/S1 to identify and treat the cause of LBP.
