Cervical, thoracic spine and ribs: Functional assessment and treatment with Trish Wisbey-Roth
The thoracic spine and particularly ribs can be a very complex and daunting biomechanical area to understand. A main objective of this course is to demystify the biomechanics, kinematics and treatment of this area. A clear Functional model to understand thoracic spine and rib function and the most common joint and muscular dysfunctions that occur in the region will be the basis of the assessment techniques taught. Treatment techniques taught for the ribs and thoracic spine follow a practical and functional model to achieve optimal thoracic and rib function with easy to understand and practical techniques. The cervical spine assessment addresses in detail the functional anatomy, biomechanics and kinematics of C2-C7, including vascular, neural, ligamentous and muscular structure and function. A clear understanding of the functional normal and common abnormal movement patterns is a clear objective of this course.
Treatment techniques for the cervical spine taught on the course also involves treatment in functional positions to achieve maximal results with logical and simple to learn techniques. Retraining functional movement and stability in the cervical and thoracic spine is vital to maintain improvements from cervical and thoracic/rib treatment. The course will discuss how to commence retraining movement patterns in both the cervical and thoracic regions. Once joint movement has been optimised the course will provide you with assessment tools to identify where neural structures are compromised and treatment techniques to maximise neural mobility with unloading techniques

Dancing hip
Tell me more
Sue Mayes has led the medical team of The Australian Ballet for over 20 years and recently finished her PhD on hip joint health in professional ballet dancers. The Australian Ballet have developed a successful approach to managing and preventing hip joint injury that has resulted in no lost-time hip joint injuries in the past 5 years and no hip joint surgery for more than 10 years. The ´hip joint in dance' course will provide a review of the current hip joint research and its application to clinical decision making and management of hip joint pain in dancers. This practical workshop will demonstrate hip joint assessment and treatment techniques and participants will learn hip exercises and exercise progressions that could be applied to any individual with hip joint pain.

Dry Needling Physiotherapy Level 1 - Part B
Tell me more
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:
- Part A consists of seven recorded lectures and is self-paced online learning. On completion of Part A, participants will have a good knowledge of the theory, research and safety considerations of dry needling. Part A is a pre-requisite for the Part B face-to-face practical course. It is also valuable as refresher training or CPD.
- Part B face to face, practical course. This course will assume the knowledge gained from Part A. Through group discussion, presentations and a written theory evaluation during the practical, this course will ensure participants can safely needle a range of body areas and conditions.
A visual representation of the structure of this course can be found in this diagram.

Foot and ankle in sport and dance
Tell me more
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:
- describe clinical presentation of foot and ankle injuries and discuss when medical referral/imaging would be appropriate
- describe contributing factors to foot and ankle injuries, such as shoe fit faults in sport and ballet
- outline treatment and rehabilitation principles for the foot and ankle
- describe, demonstrate and practice assessment of the foot and ankle, including sports and dance specific testing
- describe, demonstrate and practice soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation and taping techniques for the foot and ankle
- describe, demonstrate and practice exercises to support the foot and ankle, applicable to the general, sporting and dance populations.
