The Manual to Great Therapy


One of Australia's most progressive courses built for the 2021 private practice physiotherapists, focusing on possibly the hottest topic in physiotherapy right now - the judicious use of manual therapy.


Aim - to promote manual therapy as a tool to get great clinical results, to discuss the evidence and understanding it to have the confidence to actually to use this tool.


Why should you attend?


Attendees will learn and understand how manual therapy works, to replace old narratives about 'putting things back into place, stretching scar tissue etc' which will improve the therapists' acceptance of manual therapy.


There is so much pressure from the wider community that manual therapy is a low value tool, but James and Kieran's experiences echo that it is one of the highest value tools to get immediate results and get the client to follow your care as they feel better!


Whilst you are doing manual therapy and making them feel better is when you can deliver positive messages to your client. You can use this as a tool to get these messages through as people want this and expect this.


People see soft tissue treatment and mobilisation as treatment. When you are just talking to them people think 'this is good, but when are you actually going to treat me? When are you actually going to do the treatment?'


We want to teach you why one physio does one technique, but another physio does the same technique and gets a completely different result? We will teach you how to optimise your handling, the importance of the science behind mobilisation! (Yes, it actually exists). If you know the science of choosing the best technique, and we show you and you apply this practically and you can see the benefits, what would this do for your practice?
