We are excited to have international guest Dr Michael Rathleff and preeminent researcher Professor Bill Vicenzino join us for this highly practical workshop hosted by La Trobe’s Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre.
This education course will be run using a flipped class room style. The majority of theoretical content will be provided via online lectures before the event. This will ensure a strong emphasis on applying this knowledge and practical skill development on the day.
Due to the highly practical nature of the workshop, places are limited and we expect it will sell out fast.
Learning Outcomes
- More confidently recognise PFP
- Develop an awareness of common local, proximal and distal deficits which may relate to PFP pathology and how to identify their presence in a clinical setting
- Understand the evidence base for common physiotherapy interventions for the management of PFP and how to apply this in the clinical setting, including: exercise (local, proximal and distal), taping, massage/mobilisation, and adjunctive interventions
- Develop basic clinical skills to identify the potential for foot orthoses to assist the management of PFP
- Appropriately tailor effective exercise interventions for your patients with PFP
- Develop an understanding of the concept of movement retraining in the management of PFP and how to apply this in a clinical setting
- Understand the implications of adolescent PFP and PFJ osteoarthritis and how best to manage them in a clinical setting
- Develop a clearer understanding of how to combine and tailor various active and passive treatments options in your patients with PFP
