About The Course
This is not another pain science course! The focus of this 2 day workshop will be to explore touch and movement modification within an evidence based framework. Participants will gain the confidence and skills to embrace curiosity, explore different touch and movements in a non-structured way that can optimise the comfort of both clinician and patient while enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Every popular course needs a good acronym! We jokingly call this TPN (Touch People Nicely).
We want to challenge the status quo because massage therapy does not need to be complicated! Our desire is for participants to gain the knowledge, confidence and skills to realize that massage therapy can be the leading profession in MSK treatment and rehabilitation.
Overview
Through the incorporation of an established evidence base, we aim to simplify the application of a biopsychosocial conceptual framework into massage therapy practice. This includes both robust philosophical and scientific frameworks. Participants explore and practice implementing the knowledge of current MSK science, communicating evidence that is understandable for patients and person centred care best practices. This is emphasised throughout the weekend to maximize massage therapy outcomes.
We want learners to be comfortable with the uncertainty of clinical practice while understanding the complexity of the current evidence base of MSK treatments.
This workshop will be heavily practical. The majority of the time will be spent working in partners, small groups and class wide discussions. We have designed this course to tailor an individualized group experience and support the questions and skepticisms participants have.
