The world’s leading tendon physiotherapist is coming to Vancouver to share her pearls with you. Fresh from her sold-out workshops and lectures in France, Spain and the UK, Prof Jill Cook will run a 1-day symposium on Saturday, August 12 and an exclusive 1-day workshop on Sunday, August 13 in Vancouver.
Symposium - Saturday, August 12, 2017
The learning objectives of the symposium will mean that after the course you will:
- Be able to confidently distinguish tendon pain from other causes of patient pain
- Know when to ignore/downplay imaging (Ultrasound, MRI) information about patients in relation to tendon pain
- Assess the patient’s capacity and devise a treatment program to address specific limitations in capacity that are relevant for that patient’s goals
- Be aware of the rationale for the 4-stage treatment approach that includes isometric strengthening, isotonic exercises, energy storage exercises and sport-specific rehabilitation
The course will focus on management of clinical cases and you will be encouraged to contribute clinical scenarios ahead of the symposium.
Masterclass - Sunday, August 13, 2017
Exclusive - 25 spots only!
Professor Cook is also holding an additional 1-day masterclass on Sunday, August 13th. This will include a round-table discussion of topics from the Saturday in further detail as well as clinical assessment of cases in the areas of
- In-season treatment of tendon pain
- Insertional tendon problems
- The patient who has seen everyone
- More detailed exercise demonstration for the 4-step program.
Attendance at the symposium is a pre-requisite for the masterclass.
This course is restricted to physiotherapists. Click here for ticketing information.
