Aquatic Physiotherapy Level 1 is designed to provide participants with both foundation practical and theoretical knowledge on the clinical implications of the physiology of immersion, hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, rotational control and exercise in water. The course includes evidence-based practice, clinical reasoning and risk management in addition to practical sessions covering a variety of manual techniques and exercise programs and progressions.

This course is ideal for recent graduates, physiotherapists moving into this practice area or experienced physiotherapists wishing to undertake refresher CPD. The course is valuable in developing skills and knowledge to maximise water as an environment for physiotherapy and to provide safe, effective, and evidence-based treatment and plan progressions.

Aquatic Physiotherapy Level 1 is delivered through a blended learning model comprising three parts:

Part A: is the first component of the Aquatic Physiotherapy Level 1 course and consists of ten OnDemand, self-paced modules

Part B: is offered as a Live Virtual Classroom for those who want to participate in some immediate feedback and discussion about key topics, and is also combined with Part C delivered as part of the one day face-to-face session. Part B includes clinical reasoning and interactive discussions about key aspects of practice

Part C: is practical face-to-face pool-based learning, and is delivered together with Part B as a one day face-to-face session

Note: For those who to undertake Part B as a Live Virtual Classroom, and then go on to complete the face-to-face one day session (Part B and C combined) at a later time, they will still be involved in Part B discussions again. This is an opportunity to have a variety of clinical discussions on key topics, as there will always be different questions about practice generated by the group.

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.

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.
