This is the ideal course for the
Physiotherapist or Biokinetikist in the clinical setting to learn unique assessment & management skills for immediate
and easy use. The functional and progressive rehabilitation programme is based on
clinical reasoning and outcome based assessment skills for immediate and easy use with patients in the clinical setting.
Physiotherapists will learn how to:
Find the SOURCE of the
presenting pathology;
Correct faulty biomechanics
in kids;
·Quickly return the patient
to pre-injury level;
Apply validated tests and
research based info updated to 2012.
Improve sports performance –
both for elite and social.
The course
includes the following:
Functional Biomechanics
& Clinical Anatomy of the lumbar, pelvis, hip & lower limbs are
taught as never before, with an immediate Clinical application.
Learn to identify abnormal
movement patterns, muscle imbalances & local ‘core’ inhibition and
interpret their clinical relevance.
Identify risk factors for
persistent injuries of the Lower Quarter.
Assess the Lower Quarter in
detail with an innovative, quick but comprehensive assessment protocol.
Clinical Reasoning. Acquire
skills for predictive reasoning. Learn to prioritize management.
Learn to develop
individual-specific treatment & rehabilitation strategies.
Accelerate treatment results
with effective myofascial release techniques targeting the source of the
dysfunction.
Learn to progress
rehabilitation beyond the clinical setting to restore the patient to
‘pre-injury’ condition.
Participants
will have to do pre-course reading as revision of the anatomy of the shoulder
girdle (glenohumeral, scapulo-thoracic & scapulo-humeral) and cervical
spine. A revision of the anatomy of the lumbar spine & pelvic girdle is
strongly recommended prior to attending this course.
This one-day ‘Master-class’ is intended to challenge
and further the knowledge & clinical reasoning skills of health
practitioners who have attended previous ‘Going Global’ courses.
It will offer advanced application of clinical
reasoning with biomechanical & musculoskeletal skills in the clinical
setting.
The most important concepts from previous courses
will be briefly revised, and then integrated & advanced, and finally,
applied to the clinical setting. Advances in knowledge are occurring rapidly,
and as with all Going Global courses, information is up to date (articles in
press for 2011) from research deemed to be relevant and of a high standard,
so that our decision making in the clinical setting can be evidence-based.
A patient who presents with lower quarter
dysfunction will be assessed. A diagnosis based on the Biopsychosocial model
will be made. Treatment and management strategies for both the long and short
term will be reasoned & implemented.
This master-class should be considered interactive
and challenging for the attending clinician.
A revision of previous ‘Going Global’ course notes
is strongly recommended prior to attending this course.
This workshop
will introduce physiotherapists and occupational therapists to task based
approaches to intervention for children with movement difficulties.
Task based
approaches provide the most solid evidence for effectiveness of intervention.
They are based on the growing body of neuroscience regarding motor learning,
development and control which requires us to rethink and question many firmly
held beliefs regarding assessment and intervention. So, be prepared to be
challenged on the one hand, but also to have your own practice based evidence
confirmed by the new science.
The workshop
will also introduce participants to the Functional Strength Measure and goal
attainment scoring for functional tasks. These tools allow Practitioners to
provide the evidence for effectiveness of intervention.
During this course physios,
biokineticists and sports physicians will gain a better understanding of the
principles of kinesiology tape and its application. The course has an injury
specific approach and will provide an excellent opportunity for participants
to learn exactly how to tape accurately for maximum effectiveness, according
to the patient’s conditions and treatment needs.
During this
course the participant will:
Be introduced to kinesiology taping
principles, their history and uses;
Learn all the applications and choices of
all techniques directly associated with specific injuries from the foot
and ending with the fingers;
Get ample practical training time to
master all aspects of basic applications and the different application
techniques.
Upon completion the
participant will with immediate effect be able to benefit his/her patient by
making the correct choice of tape and application for all sports and general
injuries in any injured area.
The presenter has daily
experience in working with kinesiology tape, relevant teaching experience at
local and international courses and conferences and a genuine passion for the
amazing tape and its uses.
NB! This course is a prerequisite to attend the “All
Sport Taping Upper & Lower Limb” or “Advanced Kinesiology Taping” course.
During this
interactive lecture for participants from all health care professions will
learn the necessary requirements for good practice of human resource
management pertaining employment, contracts,
salaries, dismissals, leave and disciplinary actions. These aspects will be
illustrated with practical examples in the health care industry, applicable
to all practitioners; whether employer or employee.
Attending this course will not render the necessary qualification
to be a professional physiotherapist, for which the official qualification as
stipulated by the Health Professions Council of South Africa has to be
obtained.
This course offers all healthcare providers (both in
and out-of-hospital settings) the opportunity to update on the latest
research and guidelines regarding basic life support skills. Participants
will be trained to recognise life threatening emergencies in adults, children
and infants and be enabled to provide effective CPR, use an AED and relieve
choking.

measures for rehab of the area.
Leave the day with a clear understanding of what is
happening in the hip and groin area and lots of ideas on how to manage it!
Physiotherapists in the clinical situation are
regularly confronted with problems that might have been caused through iatrogenic injury, or perhaps the
physiotherapist being part of the health team, may from time to time have
to advise on appropriate
pharmacotherapy interventions. These factors
necessitate a current,
updated pharmacotherapy
platform.
This workshop will provide a good understanding of:
The
principles of drug action;
Why drugs
are prescribed as they are and the disposition of drugs in the body;
The
pharmacology of steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;

Occurrence of falls in older people is an
increasing trend and currently results in 40% of injury deaths. The
intervention of a physiotherapist and related health practitioner though,
could prevent 70% of this life risking phenomenon! Consider the following:
A third of all persons over 65 fall each
year.
Falls incidents increase with each year a
person ages.
Falls occur in up to 50% of older persons
in residential care each year.
If we do not start preventing falls, the
number of injuries caused by falls will be 100% higher by 2030.
This course will provide physiotherapists and
related health practitioners with evidence based information and skills to
meaningfully treat and prevent a fall in the patient over 65 to. Aspects that
will be looked into are:
The main reasons for
Falls in persons over 65;
The recommendations of
the World Health Organisation with regards to the prevention of Falls,
as well as the importance and implications of prevention;
The assessment and
management of Falls Prevention according to a Western Australian model;
Physiotherapists’ role
in the prevention and treatment of Falls.
On completion
the participant will be equipped with:
An understanding of the epidemiology and the
risk factors for falls in the elderly;
The assessment tools
and outcome measures to manage the relevant client successfully;
The practical
information and the skills to help the client to rehabilitate and
prevent Falls.
Assist the client with a comprehensive lifestyle
audit and future management programme, including choices of walking aids,
rehabilitation and maintenance.
Know why and how
Physiotherapists can play a major role in the prevention of Falls.
