'The Midlife Shift'

Hormonal transitions can present as complex presentations from the age of 35+ onwards. This course will help physiotherapists decode not only the multitude of musculoskeletal effects but the extensive systemic signs of perimenopause and post menopause. This course will arm the clinician with practical, evidence-based tools to confidently support females approaching perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, which can manifest from 35 years of age.

This introductory course aims to enhance the skills of clinicians in the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy in the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It presents current concepts of the syndrome including pain mechanisms and resultant pathokinematics and reviews the validated classification system of TMD and its subsets.

The theoretical knowledge supports the evidence that underpins the rationale for the clinical tests used in differential diagnosis and facilitates an integrated and critical approach to management of the related structures.

The practical component of the course assists participants to develop analytical skills and to apply appropriate examination and treatment techniques.

Throughout the course emphasis is placed on clinical reasoning to support management decisions of the TMD subsets and on how it directs evidence-based practice.

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.
