This session will explore why frailty screening is essential in physiotherapy practice, particularly in the context of an ageing population. It will outline the evidence for early detection, the unique role physiotherapists play, and the reasons routine screening is not yet widespread. Participants will be introduced to practical frailty screening tools and gain simple, actionable ideas to confidently consider embedding them into their workplace.
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:

This course is designed to advance participant's clinical reasoning and competency in the advanced assessment, differential diagnosis and management of the lumbar spine and pelvis. Course content encompasses a complete and comprehensive review of assessment and management paradigms. It will integrate the latest research, be presented within the context of advanced clinical reasoning, with the highest levels of clinical competence. Participants will be engaged with an advanced approach to assessment and management of lumbo-pelvic conditions that will consolidate and build on previous knowledge using interactive clinical reasoning.
Complex cases and patient demonstrations will be used to illustrate the clinical reasoning processes in the assessment and management of complex lumbar and pelvic pain patient presentation s, covering manual therapy, activity and exercise approaches.
Presented by three specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapists with appointments at Curtin, Sydney and Macquarie Universities, participants will have the opportunity to engage in interactive education by educators with the highest clinical, teaching and research expertise.
Over the three days, participants will be expected to:
• Day One: Cover differential diagnosis, evidence based practice, advanced manual therapy techniques and exercise prescription for acute low back pain, based on a clinical reasoning framework.
• Day Two: Improve their ability to assess, differentially diagnose and manage acute and chronic pelvic girdle pain, using an advanced clinical reasoning tool.
• Day Three: Integrate clinical reasoning into the assessment and differential diagnosis, sub classification and management of chronic lumbar spine and pelvic disorders at an advanced level.
Want a clear understanding of differential diagnosis of common and not so common Hip conditions that present for treatment but don't know where to start? This course is for you.
You will gain a better understanding of a comprehensive differential diagnosis assessment protocols to specifically identify structural and functional deficits in Hip pathology and dysfunction.Physiotherapists are increasingly using dry needling for pain management and thereby improving function in conjunction with other physiotherapy approaches.
