D E L E G AT E P R O G R A M Don’t miss out on this powerful, professional experience! CROW N ME T ROP OL , PE RT H , W E S T E RN AUS T R A LI A 9 -10 M AY 20 15 D E L E G AT E P R O G R A M Welcome On behalf of the AAMT I am pleased to introduce you to the 2015 conference program. The AAMT Board are excited to be offering this inaugural WA conference from the Crown Perth venue. The theme for this year’s conference is Massage with Medicine. Over the weekend, you can explore the relationship between massage practice and modern medicine. There are already great examples of how the two are working together successfully. However, as the massage industry continues to strengthen and mature, how can we work more closely with modern medicine to assist in better outcomes for clients? Til Luchau will be our keynote speaker this year. You do not want to miss this great opportunity to be inspired and challenged by this leader in the field. He will be followed by Gerry Gannon discussing how to maintain your credibility as you market yourself. The AAMT Board and staff look forward to seeing you over the course of the conference. We welcome discussion about the industry and hope we can assist you to have a thoroughly entertaining and challenging weekend. Make sure you give yourself some time to get out and enjoy some of what the great city of Perth has to offer. Paul McCann AAMT National President Keynote Presentations Til Luchau As the field of professional massage therapy matures, its relationship with conventional Western medicine is changing rapidly. While massage therapy gains evergreater acceptance, others see setbacks, and say it still has far to go. Many see an alliance with Western medicine, with its emphasis on research, precision, and its broad availability, as massage therapy’s clear and appropriate future. Others fear the demise of the qualities that have set massage therapy apart. In these interactive plenaries, we’ll seek to cut through the hyperbole on both sides of the debate. We’ll explore questions such as, “What has worked well when interfacing with Western medicine?”, “What are the costs, and the benefits?”, “What are the different options?”, “How can we preserve what is most important?”. Join us for these thought-provoking and informative presentations. Gerry Gannon Personal Branding: how to build an appropriate brand for your professional success. Have you ever thought about your own personal brand and how it aligns with that of your organisation? Have you thought about how your brand and that of your organisation impact on each other? In this session, Gerry Gannon looks at how you can build your personal brand; identify the tools you can use to build your brand and how your personal brand is “on” all the time.

He regularly presents at many national bodywork and wellbeing conferences and maintains a private practice in Sydney. Presentations Anatomy by Dissection Presented by Jason Kiely Knowledge of anatomy underpins many techniques used in massage therapy practice. Traditionally, anatomy has been studied primarily through the art of dissection. In recent times, due to a variety of reasons, this has largely been replaced by other teaching mediums such as textbooks, anatomical artwork and models, video, computer software and cadaver prosections. While each of these resources is valuable in furthering our knowledge of anatomy, none of these can convey a true sense of how the various parts “relate” to each other in 3D through dissection, where each part is uncovered layer by layer. Presenter Jason Kiely will walk us through the dissection process while focusing on the often missed fascial layer while discussing the potential beneficial implications for massage therapists within the web of Western Medicine. Corrective Exercise for Postural Dysfunction of the Upper Body Presented by Shaun Brewster With sedentary work roles on the increase, the classic Upper Crossed Posture is presenting clinically more and more commonly. While soft tissue therapy forms an integral part of the solution to this problem, corrective exercise can effectively round out your treatment protocol and produce longer lasting effects for your clients. Learn the appropriate strengthening and stretching techniques to make real change in your client’s posture. Corrective Exercise for Postural Dysfunction of the Lower Body Presented by Shaun Brewster Lower back pain is the bread and butter of most massage therapists. Lower Crossed Syndrome is present with a large percentage of back pain presentations and correcting this postural dysfunction often requires a dramatic change in muscular control in our clients. Learn the key stretching and strengthening methods to stabilise the low back and pelvis, reduce muscular fatigue and pain and unload irritated lumbar facet joints. Integrating Remedial Massage with Other Allied Health Workers for Positive Client Outcomes Presented by Paula Nutting Paula has been working via referral with many chiropractors in Brisbane. This systematic way allows the patient to have the central nervous and osseous systems targeted by chiropractors while she balances them via the reflex nervous and musculoskeletal systems. This presentation will show how the system works and how you can apply it to your practice. Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction and Low Back Pain: Gentle Techniques for Structural Alignment and Re-education Presented by Bruce Stark The frequency with which clients present with low back pain challenges us as therapists on a regular basis. By incorporating indirect techniques we can effectively and gently address the structural imbalances contributing to low back pain and postural misalignment. We will review the structural and functional anatomy of the pelvis and lumbar spine and then utilise a range of indirect techniques to activate the self-corrective mechanisms to re-establish structural balance, reduce pain and increase range of motion. We will also practise exercises for postural re-education to strengthen pelvic stability and support long-term change. Hands On Workshops Not Just the Rotator Cuff: Advanced Shoulder Assessment and Treatment Presented by Garry Lavis The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body, thus making it vulnerable to instability and injury. Learn how to identify the cause of the dysfunction and stop treating only the symptom. This workshop focuses on the importance of therapists assessing the shoulder as a complete girdle, “not just the rotator cuff” and explains the important role the scapula plays in a full functional shoulder. Workshop participants will gain an in-depth understanding of functional anatomy and learn the skills to perform a thorough assessment, applying appropriate treatment techniques to match the physiology of the dysfunction and prescribe a rehabilitation program to suit the client’s individual need. Neurolymphatics or Chapman’s Reflexes – a Modality Using Sound Clinical Findings that will Validate Your Treatment Choices. Presented by Paula Nutting Get ready to do four hours of prac! Muscle strength testing, assessing whether we are using our sympathetic or parasympathetic systems, and how we can decide what hormones are circulating in the blood stream. We will be addressing the reflexive nervous system specifically affecting the core, and the neurolymphatic points directly involved in shoulder, neck, lower back and hip. 5 Indirect Technique: Stimulating the Mechanisms for Structural Change Presented by Bruce Stark Indirect techniques (positional release, Ortho-Bionomy, Strain Counterstrain) are unique, safe and highly effective methods for addressing pain and structural imbalances. We will discuss the principles of this type of approach and will explore the mechanisms that are activated (joint mechanoreceptors, interoceptive feedback, tracking of body schema, self-correction) which can lead to greater ease and range of motion, pain reduction and postural re-education. We will also demonstrate specific techniques that can be immediately incorporated into any bodywork session. TMJ/TMJD (Advanced Myofascial Techniques) Presented by Til Luchau Learn advanced myofascial techniques that will increase your understanding and ability to help with TMJ and TMJD-related pain, discomfort, and noise, jaw alignment and balanced mobility, and related issues including headaches, neck issues, and more. Assessment and Treatment of Common Foot and Lower Limb Conditions Presented by Shaun Brewster This is an area of the body that many therapists lack confidence in. The foot and lower limb is a complex biomechanical marvel, and understanding how to manage it effectively can be hugely valuable to your practice. This workshop will cover a range of assessment skills such as gait analysis, orthopaedic and functional assessment. Focusing on a number of common clinical presentations, the assessment protocols covered will lead into the structuring of treatment plans that can be implemented immediately to correct dysfunction and maintain health. Post Conference Workshops MONDAY 11 MAY Pelvis, Hip and Sacrum 1 Pelvis, Hip and Sacrum 2 Till Luchau (8:00am–4:30pm) Till Luchau (8:00am–4:30pm) Learn advanced myofascial techniques that will dramatically improve your work with conditions of the pelvis, hip, and sacrum, including hip and thigh pain, low back pain, sacroiliac complaints, pelvic floor issues, and more. This very popular series of seminars presents practicing manual therapists and qualified students with advanced and little-known myofascial techniques which can be easily incorporated into existing personal styles. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, the focus is on unusual, interesting, and fresh approaches that will both expand technique repertoire and inspire creativity and innovation. Join us for this unique opportunity for in-depth study with Certified Advanced Rolfer® Til Luchau. Chapman’s Reflexes Paula Nutting (8:00am–4:30pm) A one day course on the Chapman’s Reflexes which are neural components within the lymph system that supply stimulation to all structures in the body. We will be addressing specifically those affecting the core, and the neurolymphatic points directly involved in shoulder, neck, lower back and hip. It is an amazingly simple and easy to use system and one that you can get your clients to do at home. Modern Cupping Bruce Bentley (9:30am–4:30pm) Modern Cupping Therapy represents a new era for massage therapists by using a new range of innovative non-flame cupping instruments that enable a host of new treatment possibilities. You will learn how to use flexible silicone cupping vessels to treat myofascial disorders, to mobilise and stretch while cups are attached to the body, abdominal cupping, and small glass cups with attached aspirator pump to benefit sinus, skin and headache syndromes. 6 TUESDAY 12 MAY Modern Cupping Bruce Bentley (9:30am–4:30pm) Barefoot Gait Analysis Shaun Brewster (8:00am–4:30pm) The complex biomechanical machine that is the foot and lower leg is such an integral yet often poorly-understood component of human movement. To ignore gait assessment as a part of a physical assessment is to leave out the observation of the body in its most natural and important function. This workshop explores stages of the gait cycle, the healthy and pathological movement patterns that can occur and the key indicators that help us to determine where and how things have gone wrong. A thorough and effective gait analysis will help you to add a new dimension to your assessment process and give you more information to make informed clinical decisions.
