Foot and ankle injuries are common in athletes and dancers. Yet physiotherapists often state that they don't feel confident treating the foot and often refer onto podiatrists for management.

This course has a strong focus on hands on skills and exercise prescription, giving you tools that can be applied to athletes and general population with foot and ankle pain. Improve your knowledge, skills and confidence in the assessment and treatment of common injuries to the athletic ankle and foot.

Including a review of the anatomy of the foot and ankle, by the end of the course participants should be able to:

• describe clinical presentation of foot and ankle injuries and discuss when medical referral/imaging would be appropriate
• describe contributing factors to foot and ankle injuries, such as shoe fit faults in sport and ballet
• outline treatment and rehabilitation principles for the foot and ankle
• describe, demonstrate and practice assessment of the foot and ankle, including sports and dance specific testing
• describe, demonstrate and practice soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation and taping techniques for the foot and ankle
• describe, demonstrate and practice exercises to support the foot and ankle, applicable to the general, sporting and dance populations.

This course is taught by an internationally renowned expert in the field, who has worked with professional dancers for over 25 years and has consulted for AFL, Cricket Australia, & Victorian Institute of Sport.

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).
