HOW TO TREAT
Prof. Eyal Lederman
These lectures are highly practical workshops designed to teach the theory and the management of common conditions seen in clinic. There will be discussion of the aetiology of the conditions and the related underlying physiological and neurological processes as well as psychological-behavioural aspects of the conditions. The participants will learn to develop treatment strategies / management specific to these conditions which will include different manual therapy and exercise approaches. There will be plenty of time during the workshops for demonstration and practice of specific techniques and exercise.
Each course is self-standing. Enrolment can be made to one or several of the courses.

Prof. Eyal Lederman has been practising osteopathy for seventeen years and involved in researching and teaching the scientific basis of
osteopathic technique. He is a leading expert in the physiology, neurology and psychology of manual therapy. Eyal has been developing
new approaches in osteopathy in the area of Harmonic Technique and Neuromuscular Re-abilitation. He is the author of several articles
about manual therapy, and is the author of the the author of the three books "Harmonic Technique", "Fundamentals of Manual Therapy" and "The Science and Practice of Manual Therapy".
VISCERAL OSTEOPATHY: INTRODUCTION TO PERIPHERAL NERVES
Joanna Crill Dawson
In order for a body to achieve complete recovery we must address the peripheral nerves. This basic introduction will use Barral's approach to explore nerve structure and function, indications for treatment and treatment methods of the peripheral nerves. The practical part of the course the participants will be introduced to specific techniques for peripheral nerves in the upper and lower limb including the Sciatic nerve and Brachial plexus.
Dates: 19 & 26 Jan 12
CPD hours: 6 • cost: £90
RELATION OF LOW BACK PAIN TO FINDINGS ON IMAGING - WHY THE DISPARITY?
Prof. David Coggon
In this lecture Prof. Coggon will present his study which explored the relationship between mechanical low back pain (LBP)
and various types of spinal pathology - in particular disc herniation, nerve root displacement/compression,
disc degeneration and annular tears.
The study also examined whether MRI abnormalities predicted the persistence of pain when patients were
followed up after an interval of 22 months.The lecture will be followed by a discussion of the findings and
their implications for physical therapists.
26 Jan 12
CPD hours: 2 • cost: £25
Don't miss this important lecture!
David Coggon
is Professor of Occupational and Environmental Medicine at the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit, University of Southampton. He graduated in mathematics and medicine from Cambridge and Oxford Universities, and after hospital jobs in internal medicine, he joined the MRC as an epidemiologist in 1980. His main research interests are the relation of work to musculo-skeletal disorders, the risks from chemical hazards in the workplace, and cultural and psychological determinants of illness attributed to occupational hazards. He has also had a major role in the translation of research into policy. He currently chairs the Committee on Toxicity (FSA/HPA) and the Mobile Telecommunications Health Research Programme Management Committee (DH). In the past, he chaired the Advisory Committee on Pesticides (DEFRA) and the Depleted Uranium Oversight Board (MoD), and was a member of the Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (HPA), the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues at the European Food Safety Authority, the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council (DSS), the Stewart Committee on mobile phones (DH), and the Expert Panel on Air Quality Standards (DoE). He was President of the UK Faculty of Occupational Medicine from 2008-2011.
UNDERSTANDING INFANT COMMUNICATION
Cherry Bond
Are you able to identify whether the baby you are working with is inviting or rejecting the treatment?
When do you know when the baby has had enough? Do you understand what the baby is trying to tell you?
This workshop is essential for any manual therapist working with infants in the pre-verbal stages.
It aims to help the therapist understand baby communication through the observation of infant-parent interaction.
This will help the therapist develop a deeper understanding of the baby's needs and provide better care.
The workshop will explore the rich behavioural repertoire of infant communication through picture presentations,
discussions and video clips. There will be a brief introduction to the professionals and publications that have
paved the way to a better understanding of baby language.
The workshop is also open to individuals and parents
who are not therapists and would like to broaden their understanding of baby communication.
Bring your baby along….

FASCIA RESEARCH: WHAT'S NEW AND RELEVANT FOR MANUAL THERAPISTS
Dr. Robert Schleip
After several decades of severe neglect, fascia has recently entered the field of academic medical research as a
goldmine for discoveries. During the last few years it became clear that fascial tissues play a major role in force
transmission as well as in proprioception and nociception. This talk will summarize some of the key elements
from the most recent international Fascia Research Congress (Vancouver, March 2012) as well as from the previous
two congresses.
It will also highlight current research directions and preliminary findings. The relevance of
these new insights will be emphasized for manual as well as movement therapy.

CPD hours: 3 • cost: £55
Dr. Robert Schleip has been a Rolfing- as well as Feldenkrais Teacher since over 20 years. He directs the Fascia Research Laboratory at Ulm University in Germany, and is also Research Director of the European Rolfing Association. His research findings on the active contractile properties of human fasciae have been awarded with the Vladimir Janda Award for Musculoskeleteal Medicine in 2006.
FASCIAL FITNESS: TRAINING PRINCIPLES FOR THE COLLAGENOUS TISSUE NETWORK
Dr. Robert Schleip
Practical applications from connective tissue research - for the fields of sports, yoga, Pilates, martial arts,
dance and other movement disciplines.In sports education the emphasis has mostly been on the training of muscles,
cardiovascular fitness and coordination.
However, most of the exercise- and fitness-related injuries occur in
muscular connective tissues which are loaded beyond their prepared capacity. Recent advances in the newly emerging
field of international fascia research show that fascial dynamics play essential roles in muscular force transmission.
The body-wide fascial network can also be seen as our most important organ for proprioception or embodiment.
During tensional loading fascial tissues experience significant hydration changes which affect their viscoelastic
properties and recovery rates.
This introduction will consist of 80% theory and 20% practice and address the following aspects:
Slings & Springs: myofascial chains as elastic springs; factors influencing their kinetic storage capacity
Connective tissue stretching: which protocol stimulates which intra- or extra-muscular tissue elements?
Superficial shearing zone and its role in proprioception
Optimal pre-tension and preparatory counter-movement
Hydration and dehydration dynamics: how to rejuvenate an old sponge?
Loading variations and recovery times
Required loading rates for a fascial strength training vs. muscular training
Remodelling times of the fascial web: Learning from bamboo gardeners
How to train for a resilient, strong and elastic fascial body?
