Physiotherapists are increasingly using dry needling for pain management and thereby improving function in conjunction with other physiotherapy approaches. This structured course meets the national APA and AHPRA recommendations for physiotherapists to practice dry needling safely for musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries.

The sound knowledge of indications and contraindications for dry needling requires appropriate assessment and treatment skills. This course is designed to provide physiotherapists an opportunity to improve knowledge and skills of dry needling, and make them aware of guidelines for safe dry needling practices in a range of musculoskeletal conditions.

The Dry Needling Physiotherapy Level 1 course consists of two separate parts:

• Part A consists of seven recorded lectures and is self-paced online learning. On completion of Part A, participants will have a good knowledge of the theory, research and safety considerations of dry needling. Part A is a pre-requisite for the Part B face-to-face practical course. It is also valuable as refresher training or CPD.

• Part B face to face, practical course. This course will assume the knowledge gained from Part A. Through group discussion, presentations and a written theory evaluation during the practical, this course will ensure participants can safely needle a range of body areas and conditions.

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

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.

In this course, Christian will give you the skills and knowledge to diagnose and manage biomechanical deficits in injured runners. The course explores ideal lower limb biomechanics, provides an overview of how common biomechanical faults link to injury, and how to identify and address them in the clinic. The evidence behind and practical application of running retraining, exercise, footwear and other adjunctive interventions are explored in relation to both injury and performance.

Around two in every five people in Australia will get cancer in their lifetime. There is convincing evidence that exercise and staying active can significantly enhance the quality of life for those affected by cancer at all stages of the cancer trajectory and may reduce / prevent some cancer treatment toxicities.


This Cancer and Exercise Rehabilitation course is brought you by CanRehab who are a UK based, international provider of evidence-based, specialist training and education in cancer and exercise for health and fitness professionals.


The Cancer and Exercise Rehabilitation course has been designed to enable you to acquire the evidence and current practice on exercising post diagnosis whilst developing the skills to evaluate, risk assess and provide safe, effective and individualised exercises specifically for the cancer population. In addition, it will provide you with practical assessment tools to improve and expand your service provision.

This interactive session will involve your participation in two small-group workshops, each centred
on real-world CanRehab case studies.
