Posture, Soft tissue and Exercise Workshops (New Graduates)
Bridging the gap between graduation and private practice
St George Posture, Soft-Tissue and Exercise Workshops
Accelerated Upskilling (PS and E)
These popular workshops were designed by Francine St George and have been run for over 20 years both nationally and internationally.
The workshops are continually updated to incorporate the most recent relevant research on exercise and stability work and on muscle, fascia and pain inter-relationship.
They are specifically designed for new graduates or those wanting to transition to private practice after working in either the hospital or community setting. These workshops are now 1.5 days, with the option of an additional Friday Private Practice Upskilling component, and conducted on 2 separate dates to permit you time in between to apply the concepts and skills learnt in Workshop 1.
Workshop 1: Exercise and Soft Tissues (Click for details)
This workshop will review the concept of soft tissue/pain inter relationship, myofascial meridians and cover soft tissue techniques both deep tissue and myofascial applicable for all musculoskeletal conditions.
Optional Private Practice Upskilling (Friday) - will cover how to set up an exercise programme, teach classes or small group exercise sessions and how to develop presentation skills for community group or gym presentations.
Workshop 2: Posture and Exercise (Click for details)
Day 1 will cover Posture assessment, how to identify upper and lower limb muscle imbalances easily and refine your upper and lower limb neural testing. Basic stability training, stretching, downtraining phasic muscles and exercise progressions comprises Day 2.
Optional Private Practice Upskilling (Friday) - will introduce you to a System of assessment so that even the most complex patient will be easy for you to determine their treatment and plan of management. The goal is to permit your client to be actively involved and for them to do more and you a little less and still achieve a positive outcome!
After completing the St George PS and E workshops, new graduates are then eligible to enrol in advanced upskilling in specific areas, via our Strand 1 and RTUS & Exercise workshops, to further develop niche areas of expertise!
Workshop Benefits:
Two 3-day Workshops for a lifetime base of accelerated skills!
It is very challenging when you first work in private practice. It takes many years to become a competent and confident private practitioner offering high quality care to your patients at all times but ensuring you do not burn out!
All your university training is called on daily but an entire set of new skills are required from day 1 in the business setting of private practice. P S and E offers the combination of refining your clinical skills and provides you with a solid platform of how to work in private practice that will enhance the rest of your career. You will learn where your passion lies in the musculoskeletal domain and learn how to develop this niche and develop your own clientele with confidence!
