This webinar is designed for physiotherapists who want a clear understanding of online marketing. The Thryv team will cover the basics of online listings, websites, social media, and a beginner-level overview of how AI is starting to influence how patients find and choose a clinic.

The session focuses on what actually matters, what can be ignored, and the small steps you can take that help patients find and trust your practice online. No marketing experience required.

Presenter: Greg Nicolle, Group Manager, Sales Enablement

This course will explore the theoretical and practical sides of managing sporting injuries with an emphasis on current research. Presented topics include shoulder, ankle and knee injuries with focus specifically on ligament, tendon and muscle. Participants will also gain information on acute onfield management and travelling with a sports team, as well as a large practical component on taping techniques.

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: even though there is no internal examinations are performed at Level 1, this course involves learners modelling in order to fulfil the learning objectives. If you know in advance that you will not consent to be a model for peer learning (visual assessment -external observation- of anal sphincter contraction), please communicate this as early as possible so that we can ensure a quality learning experience can be maintained for all participants.

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

This course is designed for those who are commencing work in or returning to work in neurological physiotherapy or recent graduates who would like to consolidate their knowledge about neurological physiotherapy. The online modules cover; the principles of neuroplasticity, motor learning and task and context specific practice, the relative contributions of impairments to activity limitations after stroke and a clinical reasoning approach that applies this knowledge to the analysis of movement problems and intervention planning, and principles for maximising engagement in and amounts of practice in rehabilitation. The face-to-face content covers the tasks of bed mobility, sitting, sit to stand, standing, walking and arm function. For each of these activities, video case studies are used to guide discussions of movement analysis and relevant outcome measures and evidence-based intervention, practical sessions will be used to enforce the principles of effective set-up of training for these tasks.

Spasticity is a common impairment following an upper motor neuron lesion and at times is poorly understood from a pathophysiology, assessment and management point of view.

This course is aimed to increase the knowledge of the pathophysiology of spasticity and the clinical skills of assessment, goal setting, treatment and overarching management of this common but complex impairment and will involve real patients that participants can assess and handle while incorporating theory with on the spot clinical application.

Emerging neurological physiotherapists or those with some experience managing neurological conditions and want to refine core skills in regard to spasticity assessment and management would benefit from attending this course.
