Pain is common in sport, but it does not always map neatly to tissue damage, injury severity, or an athlete's capacity to perform. This interactive session will explore how pain science, sport culture, athlete beliefs, and training load influence clinical decision-making across the rehabilitation-to-performance continuum.
Using practical case studies, we will unpack common challenges in managing athletes who are training or competing with pain. Attendees will consider how to distinguish pain that warrants protection from pain that can be safely navigated, communicate uncertainty without creating threat, and use load modification, education, and graded exposure to support confident return to performance.

Following our theory webinar on Nasal High Flow (NHF) therapy, this interactive workshop will provide clinicians with hands-on experience in device setup, parameter titration, troubleshooting, and real-world patient application.
Designed for clinicians looking to translate NHF theory into practice, this workshop will equip participants with the skills and confidence to implement and optimise therapy across the continuum of care.

The workshop will feature:
• Live demonstrations covering device setup, patient interface fitting, and optimisation of flow rates, humidification, temperature, and oxygen
• Small-group practical stations to build confidence with setup and operation of NHF equipment
• Interactive case studies focused on titrating therapy to patient needs and responding to changes in presentation and treatment goals.
• Facilitated discussion and problem-solving to support clinical decision-making across acute and community settings
• Q&A with expert facilitators to address practical implementation challenges and share clinical insights

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and often persistent complication of cancer treatment, with symptoms including numbness, tingling, pain, weakness and balance impairment that can significantly affect function and quality of life.This presentation will provide an overview of the current understanding of CIPN, including its clinical presentation, assessment and impact on physical function.

Susanna will discuss the latest evidence for the prevention and management of CIPN, with a particular focus on the emerging role of exercise and rehabilitation. The session will provide practical insights for physiotherapists working with people during and following cancer treatment.

Join us at the annual VIC Branch End of Year Breakfast, to be held at The Glasshouse.

Our keynote speaker, Professor Trudy Rebbeck FACP, will be presenting 'Patient and clinician centered care for people with “mild” traumatic musculoskeletal injury; complex cases driving effective intra-professional collaboration'.

People with “mild” traumatic MSK and brain injury such as whiplash and concussion often do not recover well. Symptoms overlap, traumatic stress is often present and both patients and clinicians are overwhelmed.

Physiotherapists have a key role to play in the management of these conditions, but the concept of intra-professional collaboration is new.
Over two decades, Prof Rebbeck has worked to develop and implement Pathways of Care PACE Programme) for people with complex traumatic musculoskeletal conditions. Concurrently she has established frameworks around how to truly collaborate, utilizing the best of physiotherapy expertise to provide optimal care for patients.

In this interactive presentation, complex cases will be presented following a clinical reasoning framework. Attendees will interact and clinical reasoning will be explored to arrive at differential diagnoses, and targeted, individualized care.

Key insights explored will be
- Key features in the history that assist with differential diagnosis of whiplash, concussion and post-traumatic stress
- Assessment of key domains including neurological, sensorimotor, vestibular, psychological and cardiovascular components.
- How to collaborate effectively to determine individualized care pathways.

Attendees will improve knowledge and understanding of:
- Differential diagnosis of dizziness within complex whiplash and concussion cases
- Effective collaboration in “mild” traumatic MSK and brain injury care

A panel discussion featuring Trudy and other, to be confirmed members, will follow the presentation.
