Optimising dynamic function of the lumbo pelvic and the older hip with Trish Wisbey-Roth
Tell me more
This course provides a comprehensive muscular assessment and exercise rehab program for the lumbo-pelvic region and a wide variety of age-related hip conditions that present for assessment. This two-day course is very practical where participants are exposed to a wide variety of functional exercises and theory/research behind how to assess and progress a lumbo/pelvic functional program and rehab strategies for the older hip patients.
A comprehensive exercise protocol specific to age related Hip dysfunction will be explained and demonstrated with take home exercise examples for clinical use. The muscle assessment and exercise program design can be progressed from very specific retraining of spinal, pelvic and hip muscular stability through to dynamic functional movement patterns required for work, ADL through to high level sport.

Occupational Health Physiotherapy Level 1
The Occupational Health Physiotherapy Level 1 course will broaden your scope of practice through delivering the latest knowledge and skills to match contemporary practice and its evidence-based underpinnings. Participants will be challenged to consider the foundations on which their decisions are made in order to future-proof their Occupational Health practice.
The course will deepen your understanding of the importance of workplace safety systems, leadership, the climate of safety and the risk management process as applied to health promotion, and injury prevention. Key population health issues in most workplaces including chronic diseases in addition to mental health disorders and musculoskeletal disorders are outlined. Practical skills are cemented through in-depth musculoskeletal tasks risk assessments, good work design ergonomic scenarios, and office equipment evaluation and application.
Social culture, inclusivity, and workplace leadership are incorporated so participants can implement effective and equitable occupational health workplace strategies and, through nuanced communication skills, are able to lead positive workplace conversations and manage difficult conversations with stakeholders.
Optimal Return to Work pathways and barriers are identified and workshopped for common and complex scenarios using the most recent evidence-based screening, assessment and communication tools and processes.
The principles of good work design are integrated with the physical, cognitive and organisational components of human factors/ergonomics into office and onsite ergonomic scenario analysis.
A range of training formats including video analysis, group discussions, ergonomic equipment demonstration and practical sessions throughout the two days course strengthens occupational health skills across the seven modules – Legislation, Risk Management, Systems of work, Leadership and Safety Climate and a Culture of Safety, Communication, Ergonomics, and Injury management.

Beneath the Surface: Fascia's Role in Oncology, Palliative Care and Lymphoedema
Tell me more
A 2-day workshop for professionals in oncology, palliative care and lymphoedema
Fascia is the body's living web — and in cancer care, understanding it changes everything from how we assess tissue change to how we touch a fragile limb.
This two-day workshop takes participants from foundational fascial anatomy and physiology through to the specific tissue changes seen across the cancer journey — radiation fibrosis, surgical scarring, lymphostatic change, and the often-overlooked relationship between fascia and the lymphatic system itself. Day One builds the science: what fascia is, how it behaves, and why the superficial fascial layers are the literal home of the lymphatic collectors that keep fluid moving.
Day Two turns that science into practice — safe assessment for fragile and post-oncology tissue, clear contraindications, and gentle, evidence-informed manual techniques that complement (not compete with) existing MLD and compression approaches, including adaptations for palliative and end-of-life care.
Participants will leave with a genuinely new lens on tissue change in this population — one that bridges fascia science with the clinical realities of oncology, lymphoedema and palliative practice.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Define fascia and describe its classification, composition, and physiological properties
• Explain the mechanisms of fascial densification and fibrosis, and distinguish between them
• Describe the anatomical relationship between the superficial fascia and the lymphatic collector system
• Differentiate between radiation-induced fibrosis, surgical scar fibrosis, and lymphostatic fibrosis by mechanism and clinical presentation
• Describe the mechanistic rationale linking fascial restriction to impaired lymphatic flow, with awareness of the current limits of the evidence base
• Explain the biological basis for common treatment-related tissue changes seen across the cancer journey (surgery, radiotherapy, chronic lymphoedema)
• Apply appropriate palpation techniques for fragile, irradiated, or post-surgical tissue
• Identify red flags and contraindications specific to oncology, palliative, and lymphoedema populations
• Reason safely about when fascial assessment or treatment is, and is not, appropriate
• Demonstrate gentle myofascial techniques adapted for fragile tissue and reduced treatment tolerance
• Integrate fascial techniques safely alongside existing MLD and compression-based management
• Adapt manual therapy approaches for palliative and end-of-life contexts, prioritising comfort and connection

Shoulders: Simplifying the complex
Tell me more
This highly practical course explores a systematic, evidence-based method for simplifying the management of a variety of common shoulder dysfunctions.
Participants are taught a comprehensive, yet simple to follow, (step-by-step) assessment, treatment and clinical reasoning pathway to assure successful outcomes.
Participants will be fine-tuning essential therapy skills with respect to meaningful objective assessments, effective hands-on treatment techniques and functional exercise prescription.
This course is for physiotherapists:
- looking for an evidence-based method for simplifying the management of what many therapists find to be a very complex region to assess and treat.
- who desire to fine-tune their skills with respect to meaningful objective assessments, hands-on treatment techniques and effective exercise prescription.
- who appreciate the value of developing a systematic (step-by-step) approach to managing a wide spectrum of shoulder dysfunctions.
