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.

Pain Physiotherapy Level 1 is a foundational course aimed at the best competency level an immediately graduated Physiotherapist might have achieved. This course is also aimed at Physiotherapists who are developing their skills in pain management or those who have had little clinical exposure to patients with varied pain conditions.

Learners have two ways of undertaking Pain Physiotherapy Level 1:

Blended: online self-paced (Pre-requisite) and attending a face-to-face classroom course (Parts A & B)

or

Wholly virtual: online self-paced (Pre-requisite & A) and live virtual session (Part B)

Important note: if you have completed or wish to undertake the face-to-face classroom course, you are not required to complete the online Part A or Part B.

Wholly virtual pre-requisites and progress: The prerequisite must be successfully completed before you progress to Part A. Part A must be successfully completed before you progress to Part B.

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.

This course provides in-depth insight into higher level mobility analysis and retraining post-neurological injury in the adult population. It includes gait and running analysis and retraining. The course combines a lecture day, covering both paediatric and adult components, and a practical day devoted exclusively to neurological issues. You should have some experience in treating the neurological population with gait and mobility limitations.
