Description of the workshop:
This workshop is heavily biased towards refinement of the clinicians practical skills. Numbers are strictly limited to ensure sufficient feedback to enable an immediate transfer to your own clinical practice. Joanne aims to ensure you are confident about your palpation and treatment technique options for cervical spine conditions. She will teach a number of her favoured and successful treatment approaches for such conditions as cervico genic headache, whiplash associated disorders, cervical stiffness as well as post surgery protocols and management.
About Joanne:
Joanne is best described as a Clinical Academic. She has held many academic roles in a variety of Queensland Universities over her 30 year physiotherapy career, while maintaining a private physiotherapy practice. Currently she is full time as one of the Senior team at the Active Rehabilitation Physiotherapy Clinic. Her role at Active Rehab is to mentor younger OPD team members, manage her own “in” and “out” patient load and facilitate research collaboration between the team, Universities and Medical Colleagues in hospital and private practice. Joanne has offered many continuing education workshops in Australia, the UK, Canada and USA. She is an extremely pragmatic educator with a broad knowledge base, and the capacity to deliver succinct comprehensible workshops. Her aim is to deliver material that clarifies issues of musculoskeletal diagnosis, clinical reasoning and treatment. Her focus is on giving colleagues new skills (or to refine old ones), to achieve improved results for their patients. This is a highly interactive, practical, hands on workshop, with 80% of the content delivered in practical form.
