Connective Tissue and Fascia
Various Courses
This practical and theoretical series of workshops aims to promote a better understanding of the connective tissue and fascial layers that bind the body in a 3D continuum. In the past, the existence and relevance of such tissues during mobility, stability and pathology has been poorly understood. This is a fairly new area of discovery and research.
During this series of one-day updates, the connective tissue and fascial interfaces will be demonstrated, through permitted dissection videos and slides. Discussions will include some of the recent findings from the World Fascial Research Conferences of 2007 and 2009, British Fascia Symposium in 2014, and additional papers up to the present. This new information should assist with clinical reasoning during all stages of rehabilitation. Practical sessions will focus, as stated, on specific fields within clinical practice, and will include a selection of basic and advanced manual treatment approaches and techniques. The research findings are relevant for all manual therapists and should support lively debate in relation to a “Hands on” or “Hands off” approach. Subsequent parts of the series will focus on delivery of more advanced techniques and enhance a deeper understanding of complex dysfunction, in terms of the fascia and relationships to its attachments.

Connective
Tissue & Fascia – A forgotten Interface: Part 1 This
workshop is
aimed at clinicians wishing to expand their clinical reasoning and
practical
skills with regard to recent research on Connective Tissue and Fascia. The
workshop
summarises the latest research surrounding what the fuss is regarding
"fascia", and links this information to our understanding of the
nervous system. The workshop
also relates this fairly new information to our understanding of
movement,
dysfunction, and our attempts to restore more appropriate and efficient
movement
after injury or pathology. Part
1
can be tailor made to many areas where manual
therapy, exercise therapy and movement analysis are indicated, and
includes the
fields of: Adult
and
paediatric Neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal and sports
injuries,
all surgical specialities, adult & paediatric trauma,
orthopaedics,
respiratory, women’s health, podiatry, personal training, pilates,
movement
therapies and complementary healthcare where manual therapy is
involved. This
course is
highly practical relating to soft tissue techniques. Please contact

Connective
Tissue & Fascia: Part 2 With
Michelle
Watson & Erica Malcolm (former Bobath Tutor) This
workshop is
a follow-on from Part 1, where, I am joined by Erica Malcolm (Director
/
Clinical Lead:www.PhysioWhereYouAre) and former Bobath tutor. There
is a brief
recap from Part 1 with additional research, techniques and clinical
reasoning. After
lunch,
there is a patient demo for 90 minutes where we assess a patient with
symptoms,
and attempt to restore more appropriate and efficient movement patterns
to that
individual. Followed by a discussion. Our
workshop
focus is always to make the patient the centre of our thoughts, and to
make the
research and practical component as clinically relevant and practically
applicable as possible from intensive care settings to the community. For

Analysis
of Movement Course - Bridging the gap: MSK, sports and neuro rehab may
be more
kindred than we think! This
course is designed for musculoskeletal and sports
physiotherapists / personal trainers and movement instructors to
enhance
clinical skills by taking a more neurological approach to movement
analysis. To
help improve a person’s symptoms, and their ability to
function, we often need to analyse their movements and postures. If
someone has
a complex or chronic movement dysfunction, it can be hard to pinpoint
the
factors that are the cause and those that are the result of their
particular
history, especially for those with neurological disorders. Sometimes
our
clients may be ready to progress, but a part of them is so stiff, weak
or
misaligned, that they are unabIe to move forwards. It can be an even
bigger
challenge to attempt a rehabilitation program where the person
continually
changes. We therefore need to continually update our analytical skills.
This
one-day course aims to give a research update on
control of movement, and then focus on analysis of movement, and better
understanding how we move within the vast range of “normal”. We will
then
analyse a person with an injury or pathology as a group, and relate
this
knowledge to compensation and discuss management options. Please download flyer. |
