Well Mother Facebook GroupCPD Day, Pelvic Girdle Pain
Oxford, Friday 11th March 2011
How to work from a physiotherapy and osteopathic viewpoint - learning how to integrate it into our massage / shiatsu perspective and how to support women: with Suzanne Yates, Well Mother, Nicole Tudor-Williams, physiotherapist and Rosalind Jones, Osteopath.
Following on from the success of the last CPD day, I have decided to run another one. Having thought about extending it to 2 days, I made a decision to run an extended day running from 9.15am to 7pm. In addition to Nicole, who will follow on from her presentation of last time, we will have the pleasure of working with Rosalind who will be teaching us about the osteopathic approach which will include work which can be done with the ligaments. I will finish off with the day with consolidating it and building on the work we will have covered. Hope you can come!! I am looking forward to it. I learnt so much the last time!
Although the day will build on from the day we held in May 2010, we will review briefly what we covered, so that this course is suitable both as a follow on for those who attended last time, but also can be attended by those who didn’t come in May. It is of benefit for everyone working with women in pregnancy, shiatsu practitioners, massage therapists and midwives.
We had considered offering this as a 2 day course as there is a lot of material to cover, but have to decided instead to offer it as an extended day. Therefore it will cost a little more than a normal one day workshop, but hopefully this format will save you costs on accommodation and time off work!
Special Offer £100 if paid for in full by 11th Jan, normal price £120.
We will cover:
- What PGP is, its causes and how it affects women physically and psychologically: a review
- How it can be treated: looking at both physiotherapy approaches, osteopathy and how these can be integrated into massage and shiatsu. This will include learning some specific approaches and techniques from both a muscular, visceral, cranial and neural viewpoint.
