Course covers: - Unconscious casualty - CPR - Defibrillator training - Choking - Medical conditions 2pm – 5pm (approx): Treating lower jiao/limb conditions: “WHERE THE PAIN IS, THE PROBLEM IS NOT” Ida Rolf During this half-day MSK CPD session, we will be looking at some common orthopaedic problems of the lower jiao/limbs and how often the musculoskeletal condition the patient presents with may not be the causal location and just treating symptomatically may lead to limited results. By integration of some basic structural diagnosis and orthopaedic testing with palpation skills, channel/point palpation for channel differentiation and an application of applied channel theory, this short session hopes to add to your toolbox ways of getting to the underlying cause of some common presenting MSK conditions of the lower jiao/limbs and then offer some effective treatment strategies.
