Fantastic presentation from Tom Williams, head of Education at the Foot Collective last night, on the vital importance of the Breath and how to integrate its assessment & treatment into your practice.

His work sits at the intersection of biomechanics, rehabilitation, & education, with a growing focus on how breathing underpins all of it.

We are super excited to invite you to our next Webinar which takes a long overdue deep dive to the very core of our work as Manual Therapists & Movement therapists – Palpation.
“Why Palpation Hasn’t Failed - The Missing Science Behind Skilled Hands, Clinical Reliability & Hands-On Data Acquisition & Analysis” a presentation by UK based Dr Jo Abbott.

Here’s what the fantastic Canadian based therapist & educator Mark Finch says “If you are a hands-on therapist, Dr Abbott's work is essential. She offers both an in depth look at the literature on palpation reliability & practical strategies to make your hands more reliable in clinical practice. Her work challenges the narrative that our hands can't be trusted, & challenges us to practise in a way that makes them more reliable. Highly recommended for anyone who uses hands-on assessment as part of their clinical reasoning process. The principles from her work should be a foundational skill for every hands-on therapist”
When: 23rd June 2026 via ZOOM 6.30PM (Melbourne) You also have full access to the recordings for 6 months

AUD $44

What a fantastic presentation from the amazing Sue Mayes we experienced on Monday. Sue has that wonderful ability to weave relevant current research with her extensive clinical knowledge & skill and the myth busting findings from her own PhD research. Sue beautifully demonstrated the nuances required in understanding the continuum of Hypermobility and how this translates to individual patient management.
