PRE CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS The pre-conference workshops will be held on Friday 2 October 2015 from 8.30am until 4.30pm, at Jupiters Hotel and Casino (unless otherwise stated below).
Acupuncture and Dry Needling
Animal
Pain, laser, dry needling and acupuncture
Half-day workshop, 8.30am – 12.45pm and repeated 12.45 – 5.00pm
The ADNG workshop is a great way to learn new techniques and approaches from leaders in the field in a relaxed and interactive environment. It is suitable for physiotherapists who use dry needling or are trained in acupuncture, those new to the field as well as those interested in laser as both a therapy and an acupuncture point treatment modality. Dr Peter Selvaratnam will discuss pain and the CNS with the focus on case study examples that integrate dry needling for lumbar and sciatic conditions. With Andrew Hutton we will look into TCM for musculoskeletal conditions including a focus on integrating TCM constitutional diagnosis and specific innovative testing for these factors. Expand your knowledge in the field by learning how laser works. Explore the latest innovations in laser, its effects on the CNS and endorphins, its extensive general and novel uses including through hands on practical sessions. Gain a greater understanding on how laser compares with needling in both the conceptual and practical applications. Together, we will explore the role of needling; traditional and DN as well as laser and the effects of these therapeutic modalities on musculoskeletal conditions and the pain experience. We will draw on the growing evidence base in acupuncture, laser and DN. The crossover of research from the acupuncture and TCM field to pain relief is deepening. The use of needles has become widely accepted within physiotherapy clinics. Now our focus shifts to maximizing the success of these modalities and exploring new innovations.
Small animal physiotherapy This workshop is suitable for physiotherapists who have completed the APA Level 1 Animal Physiotherapy course or higher (eg, master‘s) as it is highly practical. This workshop will be presented by international keynote speaker David Levine, who has authored and/or taught many of the top canine physiotherapy resources in the world. Topics covered will be canine shoulders, therapeutic exercises and sporting dogs. The workshop will cover the medical and surgical management of the four most common shoulder diagnoses in dogs, with demonstrations of physiotherapy techniques for each. Different exercises popular in America versus Australia will be compared and contrasted, and the therapeutic goals of each will be discussed. The workshop will conclude with discussion of common sports such as agility, flyball, dock diving, herding, scent work, dancing and sledding, with a focus on data describing the parts of the agility course where injuries are most common and the areas of the dog‘s body that are most commonly injured. From this basis, participants will then workshop warm up, cool down, stretches and conditioning exercises designed to prevent injuries in the sporting dog population.
There will be a strong focus on case studies and demonstrations with an opportunity to learn from some our most experienced Australian researchers, teachers and practitioners. The workshop is a great way to connect with fellow practitioners with similar interests. An informal evening social event will follow the workshop.

Cancer, Palliative Care and Lymphoedema
Cardiorespiratory
Afternoon workshop, 1.00 pm – 5.00 pm
The cardiorespiratory pre-conference workshop will focus on the aspects of care that physiotherapists can apply to manage patients in ICU and as they progress to the ward and then home. The workshop will include local, national and international speakers from a range of professional areas.
Exercise in cancer care Exercise is one of the important foundations of physiotherapy practice. Working with cancer patients often necessitates physiotherapists modifying and reviewing their practice to ensure that their exercise prescription and physical activity advice meets the individual needs of this patient group.
Patient-centred care in ICU and beyond
Topics will include: • The patient journey – a patient‘s experience
Physiotherapy care for cancer patients includes working with patients across a continuum of care from diagnosis, through treatment, survivorship and for those requiring palliative care and end stage care. The role of the physiotherapist in exercise for the cancer patient will be reviewed and discussed, with reference to the latest research findings, and some of the clinical implications across the continuum of care raised.
• Optimising care in the ICU
The workshop will incorporate case studies and will facilitate small group discussion to give participants a sound basis and skills for prescribing exercise across the cancer setting, including palliative care and end stage care, with consideration of survivorship issues, such as lymphoedema risk.
• Mobilisation in the ICU
• Optimising care from ICU to ward and post-discharge • The role of physiotherapy in ICU outreach • Tracheostomy management teams • What‘s new in mechanical ventilation? • What‘s new in oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation? • Respiratory care in the ICU • Management of the bariatric patient The workshop is suitable for all physiotherapists with an interest in critical care. Sponsored by:
The importance of effective communication will be highlighted, along with discussion on self-care issues for the physiotherapist. Learning objectives: • Review the role of exercise in cancer patients across the continuum of care

Educators
Emergency Department
Connecting clinically, locally, globally
This workshop will be a challenging and supportive day that will be of benefit to all physiotherapists working in the emergency department. Elements of the day should be of benefit to both musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapists working in private practice, field side, and outpatients. The four sessions will be:
Connecting with colleagues, clients and students is core business for physiotherapists, but how often do we take the art of communicating for granted while we focus on the technical aspects of our profession? Join us as communication takes centre stage at our pre-conference workshop. The day begins with an interactive workshop: ‗This won‘t hurt a bit—honest!‘, offering strategies for establishing and maintaining effective patient– clinician interaction and trust, guided by linguist Dr Heather Jackson from Macquarie University.In this session we will explore new skills in communication aligned with seeking greater rapport, trust, engagement and collaboration with our clients. Following lunch the Educators and Business group workshops will combine to discuss how to grow the number of placements in the private sector. What do academics expect of private practice placements? What resources are available? How can a private practitioner structure their daily activities to ensure everyone benefits? We conclude by discussing the challenges of supervising students on regional, remote and international placements. What forms of supervision have been tried? Which ones work? How important is pre-placement preparation? Join us at our 2015 pre-conference workshop—we are confident you will gain new skills and ideas and leave well connected.

This workshop brings many of Australia‘s clinical and research experts in the physiotherapy management of hip pain together in the one place for the first time, and is an opportunity not to be missed. Key practice points will include: • Overview of hip pain across the lifespan—from adolescence to old age • Hip morphology, screening, risk factors and hip pain in adolescents • Hip pain and pathology and young to middle aged adults, including FAI, labral pathology, early OA and hip instability, with a particular focus on clinical implications and clinical reasoning • Hip pain and pathology in older adults, including OA and gluteal tendinopathy. • Clinical gems for the treatment of hip pain in adolescents, athletes and adults (with a practical focus on evidence-based strategies for effective management of hip pain).
CONNECT with research—how to get the most out of PEDro Can a physiotherapist with a busy clinical load keep up with the evidence without information overload? This seminar will consider how physiotherapists can access high-quality clinical research to guide their practice, with a particular focus on the effects of physiotherapy interventions. Some memory aids to assist with evidence-based practice will be presented (ie, the 5 As and PICO questions). The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro; pedro.org.au) will be explained, along with common errors in PEDro searching. Participants will develop skills in asking specific questions and using PEDro to acquire evidence to answer these questions. Wireless internet access will be available for the workshop, so participants are encouraged to bring a laptop, tablet or smartphone so they can search PEDro during the session. The workshop leader is Anne Moseley, one of the PEDro developers, who is a research fellow at The George Institute for Global Health. Note: This workshop is relevant to all areas of physiotherapy, but will use examples from neurology as it is being hosted by the neurology stream. Sponsored by:

Occupational Health
Afternoon workshop, 1.30 pm – 5.00 pm
Manual handling
Using evidence and technology to increase physical activity participation of people with disability in the community
The 2015 pre-conference workshop for occupational health physiotherapists will delve into the murky waters around manual handling training. The workshop will explore different approaches, theories and methods used by occupational health professionals across varying work tasks.
This half-day workshop will comprise two parts. Part 1: Rehabilitation to recreation—connecting people with disability with their community Increasing evidence indicates people with disability have much to gain physically and socially from participation in physical activity and exercise. However, studies show they are less active than people without disability and often do not engage in recommended levels of physical activity. The reasons for this are complex and multifactorial. This workshop will consider the role of physiotherapists in promoting and facilitating participation of people with disability in communitybased physical activity. The complex and multifactorial reasons for their non-participation will be explored and strategies on how to connect people with disability with their communities through physical activity will be discussed. Part 2: Affordable technology to improve physical activity levels and mobility outcomes in rehabilitation—AMOUNT rehabilitation trial This workshop outlines affordable exercise-based video and computer game technology that could enable additional exercise for rehabilitation patients at a relatively low cost, which is being investigated in the AMOUNT trial. If found to be effective, our intervention it will enable physiotherapists to choose the most appropriate device(s) for an individual patient from a suite of currently available affordable technologies.

Topics that will be discussed include: • Legislation comparing the 1990 National Code of Practice for Manual Handling with the new 2011 Hazardous Manual Tasks Codes of Practice, which has a very different training emphasis • A review of relevant literature and evidence-based practice • The different approaches to manual handling training by physiotherapists in Australia and overseas • The different approaches to training the onsite facilitators/champions/instructors/coaches and monitoring competency • Error states, looking at the primary cause of manual handling injuries • Participatory ergonomics. This is a practical session observing and discussing various manual handling techniques and postures.

Pain
Morning workshop, 8.30 am – 12.30 pm
Afternoon workshop, 1.30 pm – 5.00 pm
Hip and knee osteoarthritis and arthroplasty: Advances in understanding the development and surgery for these conditions.
Taking up the challenge: Complexity and pain
• What is the relationship between knee kinematics and the development of knee OA? • Who is at risk of metallosis and what is the role of physiotherapy? • What‘s new in hip/ knee arthroplasty rehabilitation that may change my practice? Come with your questions to this workshop for a stimulating morning of information and discussion about the development of knee osteoarthritis, hip and knee arthroplasty (including metallosis) and cutting edge research in arthroplasty rehabilitation and lifestyle restrictions following the same. Our keynote speaker, Associate Professor Jennie Scarvell, examines knee kinematics and the relationship to the development of knee OA. Learning outcomes: • The risk factors for developing metallosis following metal on metal hip arthroplasty • The current medical and surgical management of people at risk of metallosis • The role physiotherapy has in managing people with metal on metal total hip arthroplasty, and the sequel of any remedial surgical procedures • Aberrant knee kinematics and knee osteoarthritis • e-TKA rehabilitation? • The evidence for ongoing lifestyle restrictions following THA
The purpose of the workshop is to give participants useful tools to develop their practice and to better manage the complexity of the human pain experience. Pain specialists are used to working in complex clinical situations that are often unpredictable and require a high degree of experience and skill to manage. In many ways, pain is the embodiment of a complex health problem. Pain is highly subjective and no two clients/patients are ever the same, especially when pain persists. We also operate in a health system that increasingly requires measurable outcomes, standardised care plans and predictable results—things that are often impossible given the subjective nature of pain. Not surprisingly, one of the things that appeals most to clinicians, but also frustrates them at times, is the inherent complexity of pain. In this workshop, we explore the nature of complexity and how it can be used by clinicians to understand and improve their practice. We will explore what makes something complex, the importance of ‗the three U‘s‘, and some of the ways philosophy deals with complexity. We will also explore current concepts of pain in clinical practice and how these inform assessment and treatment strategies. A selection of clinical cases will be presented to illustrate the implementation of these strategies. Sponsored by:
