Osteopathic Techniques of the Foot and Ankle for Podiatrists

Friday and Saturday 1st and 2nd of October 2010 in Perth, being presented at UWA. This workshop will be conducted principally for UWA Podiatry students with only a possibility of places being available for practitioners.

Maximum of 16 participants only. There are NO places left in this workshop as of 30/08/2010.



*** We have now confirmed dates for this workshop to be presented in Sydney on October 30/31st. Again a maximum of 16 participants only. ******************************************************



These workshops will be conducted by Joel Bell, Osteopath and Podiatrist. Joel as taught these techniques to Podiatrists and Postgraduate Physiotherapists in Europe for the past few years. Joel has now returned home and set up his Osteopathic practice in Perth. He is very keen to continue passing on his skills to Podiatrists.

The aim of the 2 day workshop is to introduce the participants to a range of osteopathic manual techniques which are available and appropriate for clinical use by podiatrists as an adjunct to existing clinical skills.

The workshop will be practical in nature with a dual intention:
a)  achieving compentency of some skills ready for immediate utilization in the clinic.
b) providing exposure to more advanced skills which can lead to a special set of skils above and beyond normal podiatric modalities.

The workshop will provide benefit to all podiatrists. These types of techniques have a broad group of indications for diverse types and ages of patients and fit clearly into the skill set that podiatrists should be capable of providing as part of their total foot care service.

Advanced Orthotic Therapy workshop on Saturday 28/03/2010 in Sydney at NSW APODA rooms, Elizabeth St Surry Hills has been completed.

Orthotic therapy as it has been practiced for the past few decades is based on theories shown by research to be fundamentally incorrect. More recently, simplified practical systems have become more widely used. These systems have even less evidence base and rely often on the gullibility of the practitioner and general public. If this is the context within which we practice, on what basis can we deliver mechanical interventions. As Podiatrists we are well aware of how effective mechanical interventions can be in previously unresponsive conditions and also how sometimes our orthoses are completely ineffective and even a source of exacerbation of the presenting problem. The possibility is that our interventions work and don't work for reasons outside our theories. We'll look at a system for treating each case on its separately rather than trying to create some theoretical normality.

This intensive one day workshop presents a logical and practical assessment and diagnostic process, including the use of chairside devices. Chairside devices may stand alone as the mechanical intervention of choice or become the basis for effective prescribing of customised devices.

The participants are introduced to an extensive range of cast and device variables.  All cast variations are explained and demonstrated in their practical methodology such that their functional effect is easily understood. This will help participants understand also how scanning systems pretend to deliver the same effect and fall short. The workshop concludes with practical sessions on casting, trouble shooting and other aspects of case management. Sections of this workshop are conducted with participants working in pairs.

The workshop will be conducted by Shane Toohey, Managing Director of Artisan Orthotic Laboratory
