Session 1: Topical Issues in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Friday 29 September 9:00pm - 10:00pm (Adelaide time) | 5:00pm - 6:00pm (IST) Online via Zoom
Physiotherapy globally is in a state of change. As part of this, traditional interventions like manual therapy and postural management have come under criticism. However, many of these criticisms lack nuance and traditional ideas and techniques can remain important parts of a modern physiotherapists tool kit. This session will discuss current issues, will outline a modern model of physiotherapy care that blends the best of old and new approaches, and will show how the wisdom of Geoff Maitland remains evermore relevant today.
Session 2: The wholistic physiotherapist
Friday 24 November 10:00pm - 11:00pm (Adelaide time) | 5:00pm - 6:00pm (IST) Online via Zoom
The term “Psychologically-informed physiotherapy” is appearing more and more in the literature. It recognises that patient outcomes depend to a significant degree on factors that go well beyond local tissues, and that can be heavily influenced by central and psychological factors that can be influenced by physiotherapists. This session will explain the spectrum of psychologically informed physiotherapy and its benefits. It will offer specific examples, including techniques that can be immediately implemented in everyday patient management to improve results.
