This course is an opportunity to enhance your skills in managing complex neck pain disorders that are often associated with headache, jaw pain, and dizziness. Drawing on knowledge from research, applied anatomy and clinical expertise, enhance your knowledge of the unique characteristics of the cervical vertebral column and cervical musculature in states of health and impairment. This knowledge underpins a systematic approach to the assessment and rehabilitation of cervical movement disorders. The course will be focused on a structured management approach appropriate for all problematic cervical disorders including whiplash associated disorders.
The Neurological Physiotherapy Level 2 Course is at Intermediate level aligned to the Competence Framework.
A physiotherapy practitioner at this level can independently manage clients with more complex presentations. It would suit physiotherapists:
- With some years of experience in this area of practice
- Who have undertaken relevant further learning or qualification in this area of practice
The Course uses a mix of teaching and learning approaches with a focus on active learning and learner-centred strategies. These include PowerPoint presentations, practicals and facilitated case-based group discussions. Within the Course, participants will apply and demonstrate their enhanced knowledge, and translate this into practical application. A range of case studies and practical sessions will allow the presenters to work within their experience.
The Spinal Physiotherapy Part A (Cervical) course is a foundation course aimed at physiotherapists wanting to gain a contemporary overview of neck disorders, and develop skills in:
• interpreting patient history;
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:
Lecture presentations:
Session 1: Wellbeing for Physiotherapists
This lecture introduces Positive Psychology (the science of Wellbeing) and the relevance it has for an optimal physiotherapy experience that considers the injured person, the physiotherapist, and their working relationship. This lecture will focus on the positive psychology constructs of wellbeing, psychological distress, confidence and languishing vs flourishing during long-term injury rehabilitation (but will not address the topic of the patient with mental health concerns).
Session 2: Introductionto GroinREHAB
Thislecture summarises the GroinREHAB program that Anthony has used to assess,re-assess and manage athletic groin pain for the past 30 years. The focus ofthe lecture is on the clinical decision making process and the managementstrategies associated with “Unloading”, “Return to Running” and the progressionto “Return to Sport”. This practical approach is ideal for the clinician whoexpects to see a small number of footballers with groin pain each season.
This webinar will provide an overview of neurodiversity and the role of physiotherapists. We will discuss current evidence and considerations for providing neuro-affirming care.
Improving on your knowledge and clinical reasoning gained from our level 1 course, this course is designed to give physiotherapists sound knowledge of the anatomy, biomechanics and pathology of injuries to common body areas and across different sports. Topics covered include hip and groin, elbow wrist and hand injuries, foot pain and tendon pain.
This course is a mandatory part of the experiential titling pathway in Sports Physiotherapy.
The Pain Physiotherapy Level 1 course outlines the key principles of Pain and Pain Management which can be immediately transferred to practice. This course presents this foundational knowledge to support physiotherapists who are new, recently graduated or experienced (across all the different disciplines) and are looking to expand, refresh and better integrate their knowledge in the area of pain physiotherapy.
The aims of this course is to:
1. Understand the burden of pain throughout society
2. Develop a biopsychosocial model for the assessment and management of pain
3. Be able to understand the need for a person-centred approach to pain assessment and management

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).

These two day courses provide education in the Bobath Concept and are designed to introduce participants to the concepts of normal movement used in the assessment and treatment of adults with neurological or neuromuscular impairments.
The courses consist of a theoretical introduction to normal movement, practical sessions and a patient demonstration.
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.
Presented by Specialist Sports Physiotherapist Jane Rooney, the course will cover contemporary evidence based assessment and management of commonly presenting acute knee conditions.
This one and a half day course is fully practical with interactive clinical problem solving. You will also provided with 4 hours of self-paced online learning, that is required to be completed prior to attending the course.
Day 1: 1.00pm - 5.00pmThis 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).
