This two day intensively practical course teaches a simplified assessment and treatment approach to a very biomechanically complex area of the ribs, thoracic spine and cervical spine.

The thoracic spine and particularly ribs can be a very complex and daunting biomechanical area to understand. A main objective of this course is to demystify the biomechanics, kinematics and treatment of this area. A clear Functional model to understand thoracic spine and rib function and the most common joint and muscular dysfunctions that occur in the region will be the basis of the assessment techniques taught. Treatment techniques taught for the ribs and thoracic spine follow a practical and functional model to achieve optimal thoracic and rib function with easy to understand and practical techniques. The cervical spine assessment addresses in detail the functional anatomy, biomechanics and kinematics of C2-C7, including vascular, neural, ligamentous and muscular structure and function. A clear understanding of the functional normal and common abnormal movement patterns is a clear objective of this course.

Treatment techniques for the cervical spine taught on the course also involves treatment in functional positions to achieve maximal results with logical and simple to learn techniques. Retraining functional movement and stability in the cervical and thoracic spine is vital to maintain improvements from cervical and thoracic/rib treatment. The course will discuss how to commence retraining movement patterns in both the cervical and thoracic regions. Once joint movement has been optimised the course will provide you with assessment tools to identify where neural structures are compromised and treatment techniques to maximise neural mobility with unloading techniques

Practical Skills you can apply immediately!

You've probably seen many clients with pelvic and low back pain. Wouldn't you love to understand the 3D biomechanics of this region, and how to effectively make a differential diagnosis? This course will show you how. You'll also cover treatment plans over the short, medium and long-term.

Join us for a 2-day course including 3D anatomy, biomechanics and assessment of the pelvic complex and lumbar spine. The two days will be filled with takeaway concepts and techniques to use immediately. This course offers the busy clinician the opportunity to see the latest in effective manual therapy and taping treatment for SIJ and lumbar spine problems specific for dysfunction, with a clear differential diagnostic algorithm. Learn to optimise 3D biomechanics of the pelvis and lumbar spine through effective differential diagnosis, assessment and management, taught by Trish Wisbey-Roth

Want a clear understanding of differential diagnosis of common and not so common Hip conditions that present for treatment but don't know where to start? This course is for you.

You will gain a better understanding of a comprehensive differential diagnosis assessment protocols to specifically identify structural and functional deficits in Hip pathology and dysfunction.

Want to know how to develop a dysfunction specific retraining program for the hip region including optimal muscle recruitment patterns of the groin and lower limb? This course will provide you with practical exercise strategies that can be incorporated into rehabilitation and maintenance training programs.

A graded system to assess and progress a hip dynamic stability program will be provided from the acute stage of treatment, to return to normal function.

The course will include Practical session, where participants are introduced to a wide variety of hip dysfunction specific exercises recognising the correct level of exercise difficulty for the presenting condition and how to progress to functional strength and muscle hypertrophy.
