Currently there are few options for physiotherapists who wish to explore a holistic approach to needle-based therapies. Dry needling courses offer a model that permits pain modulation but none of the systemic benefits acupuncture offers that can improve mood, sleep, inflammation, appetite and digestive function and sense of well-being.

Delivered entirely online for the first time in APA history - learn from anywhere you have internet access.

This highly coveted, evidence-based course is founded on extensive clinical experience in assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of shoulder pathology and is extensively linked to the most recent research publications from a variety of disciplines.

Delivered by world authority, Prof Jeremy Lewis PhD, FCSP with emphasis placed on clinical reasoning to support management decisions, this course synthesises the complex relationships between; the shoulder & body biomechanics, pain science, lifestyle, patient psychosocial factors, beliefs and expectations, best practice and more.

Participants completing this will gain a greater understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, assessment and evidence-based treatment of this interesting and complicated region of the body.

Taught in over 40 countries, continually updated and integrating the latest research and evidence, this popular course covers a biopsychosocial approach for the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions involving the shoulder region.
There are two components to undertaking this course:

1. Online theory - Participants are expected to complete the theory (provided online) component of this course before participating the live interactive sessions. Participants will be given access to the theory to undertake in their own time, two weeks out from the live interactive sessions in which they register.

2. Online interactive sessions – Participate in three 4.5 hour live online interactive sessions with Prof. Jeremy Lewis where you can watch the guru himself demonstrate his various techniques and ask any relevant questions directly. You will be given special access to videos of the practical components of the course for a period of 3 months after the interactive sessions. Use these videos in your own time to help you put into practice what you have learnt in the course.

This course has been designed to provide an opportunity for physiotherapists to develop their practical skills and clinical reasoning associated with content taught in the online Level 1 Women's Pelvic Health Course.

This practical course will be structured around a ‘clinical case studies' format. Physiotherapists will be guided through a number of case studies requiring interpretation of completed Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaires, bladder and bowel diaries, as well as results of Trans-Abdominal Real Time Ultrasound (RTUS), to develop an introductory management plan involving pelvic floor muscle training (where indicated) and lifestyle advice for each case.

In particular, physiotherapists will have the opportunity to perform Trans-Abdominal RTUS to assess pelvic floor function and bladder volumes, as well as learn the necessary procedures required to perform a visual assessment of anal sphincter contraction (note: no internal examinations are performed at Level 1).

This course will be presented by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) in combination with Women's Health Training Associates (WHTA).

This face-to-face course has been designed to provide an opportunity for physiotherapists to develop their practical skills and clinical reasoning associated with content taught in the online Level 1 Women's Health Through the Life Stages Course.

The course will include practical skill development in musculoskeletal assessments across the childbearing year (including SIJ provocation tests), provision of education
classes across the childbearing year, early postnatal assessment and advice, and group exercise prescription across the female lifespan (female adolescence, pregnancy,
early postpartum and post-menopausal bone health).

In addition, the course will provide an opportunity to explore clinical case studies to enhance clinical reasoning across all topics.

Presented by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) and Women's Health Training Associates (WHTA).
