Overview of Series Two:

For Physios working in predominantly chronic pain services

Part A:
​Basic - Practical
(2-day course. $595 incl GST)
Subjective assessment

• Questionnaires and interpretation – focus on sensory hypersensitivity and Defensive High Anxious personality types
• Address fear avoidance, multiple Rx seeking and anxiety
• Sleep, food, stress, exercise, CNS history

Physical Assessment

• Postural awareness
• Balance
• Supine sensory feedback & tactility Midline crossing
• Moro, ATNR, Abdo and Spinal Galant primitive reflexes.

Subjective Advisory

• Pain neuroscience education (‘practice explaining it’ workshops)
• Drug use
• Advice - Sleep, food, stress, exercise, breathing

Physical Rehab

• Postural awareness – sitting neutral, pelvic tilts, scapula, postural sway
• Balance – belt, foot stim
• Midline crossing ex’s
• Moro, ATNR, Abdo and Spinal Galant reflex inhibition exercises

Part B
​Advanced - Practical
(2-day course. $595 incl GST)
Subjective Assessment

• Questionnaires and interpretation – focus on adding in Low Registration & Repressor personality types
• Sensory hypo-sensitivity and anxiety
• Repressors boom and bust, A-types (people-pleasing and perfectionists)
• Sleep, food (AIP diet etc), stressors differ to a Low Reg person, exercise, CNS history (learning differences, concussion, trauma etc.)

Physical Assessment

• Postural awareness during key functional movements incl. balance tasks with distractions
• Mirror testing
• Oculomotor function
• Remaining primitive reflexes

Advisory rehab

• Questionnaires and interpretation – how to advise Low Registration & Repressor personality types
  • Sensory hypo-sensitivity and anxiety
  • Repressors boom and bust, education and pacing
  • CNS pain generation under sensory hypo-sensitivity threat model.

Physical Assessment

• Postural awareness during key functional movements incl. balance tasks with distractions
• Mirror testing
• Oculomotor function
• Remaining primitive reflexes
