ConnectTherapy™ & the Foot-Ankle Complex - Sydney

When To Rule It In or Out & Its Relationship to the Thorax

dsc07887

 

We’re excited to launch this brand new ConnectTherapy™ course in Sydney, Australia, this November! 

Are you looking for a simple yet powerful way of looking at function and treatment of the foot and ankle? Tired of navigating through the maze of conflicting information and terminology in the foot/ankle literature? Interested in learning how to maximize results and make changes to your patients’ feet that previously have been considered unchangeable and “structural”?

Are you wondering why a subgroup of your patients with recurrent tendinopathies, stress fractures, and other load related problems continue to struggle despite following all the latest research based protocols? Looking for inspiration on exercise ideas and a logical progression that goes beyond theraband and wobble boards? 

Then this course is for you! Come learn a new way of looking at integrated foot/ankle function that considers influences from the rest of the body above in a structured, clinical reasoning format.

In addition to learning innovative assessment and treatment techniques created by Dr. LJ Lee, this weekend will open up a whole new framework that will make your current techniques more effective and efficient. You’ll learn the tests that allow you to identify when the foot/ankle complex is the “Primary Driver” of your patient’s problem – whether it is symptomatic or not. Learning the predictive algorithm of the ConnectTherapy Drivers Diagnostic Chart™ will give you the confidence to know who will immediately and positively respond to treatment of the foot/ankle, and which patients require treatment elsewhere to optimize function and loads through the foot/ankle complex. You’ll also learn how the thorax and foot/ankle are related and connected via a variety of mechanisms. Finally, you’ll understand the role of footwear and how to make decisions re: support and orthotics. 

By the end of this course you’ll have new tools to assess the foot and ankle, enhanced hands-on and visual perceptive abilities to see where and how the foot is non-optimal during functional tasks, and new treatment techniques to release and train Foot/Ankle Drivers for better function across multiple activities.

Join us for 3 days of demystifying and simplifying this important region with ConnectTherapy.

  • Part 4 was the glue that bound all I’d learned in the Series together. It was a chance to revisit important concepts, enhance skills and consolidate my learnings. Taking Part 4 gave me me the confidence to fully implement the ConnectTherapy™ model in the clinic. What a difference that has made in the results for my patients! It was so important in my development as a clinician I took it twice! 

    Lisa Anthony, Erina, NSW, Australia

  • I can't say enough about LJ as a therapist and an instructor. She has a way of inspiring you as a Physio that you didn't even know was missing from your career until you hear her speak.

    Nicole Fournier – Vancouver, BC, Canada

  • Best course I’ve taken that improves clinical reasoning process & helps me to decide what’s important & what to focus on treatment.

    Meaghan Shewchuk – Killarney, MB, Canada

  • There have been improved clinical outcomes in the post-surgical management for lung transplantation patients since I completed LJ’s Thoracic Ring Approach course. I have discovered a new approach to the assessment and treatment of the thorax. Thanks LJ! Looking forward to the next course

    Louise Fuller – Melbourne, VIC, Australia

  • Attending LJ's courses has really rekindled my enthusiasm for being a Physio again.  I have seen the possibilities of helping patients that I've really been stuck with before.

    Leah Mears – Ashburton, Devon, UK

  • You have indeed turned science into an art form. I certainly felt I was watching an artist perform, but it's your ability to build on your knowledge and experience base plus your perception and sensory skills..... Quite the package!!! ... I am now so much more aware of the possibilities! I plan to practise my sox off !!!

    Kerri Curran – Wahroonga, NSW, Australia

  • ​Brilliant demonstration of peripheral influences and thank you for mentioning the cranial component too! Thank you LJ for always stimulating, engaging & though provoking instruction. And for being one of my professional heros!​

    Katharine Hasz – Tofino, BC, Canada

  • I cannot say enough about how joining the series with LJ has completely revolutionized my skills as a clinician... I found the Series content was rich with cutting edge science, research and innovative perspectives ... I am so excited to be on this journey and as I continue to learn and grow, the possibilities seem endless!

    Jim Shepherd – Seattle, WA, USA

  • I have had excellent results utilizing the "ring approach" for the management of complex thorax presentations following cardio thoracic surgery, sports injury and atypical chest pain of musculoskeletal origin. This application of this system with its contemporary skills has continually resulted in patient satisfaction, excellent clinical outcomes and facilitated early and optimal recovery (i.e. return to sport, work and community role).

    Doa El-Ansary – Melbourne, VIC, Australia

  • I consider myself privileged to have been a participant in the three part course series offered in Saskatoon. This course has by far exceeded my expectations. It has changed my clinical practice and yielded breakthroughs in treatment success more than the courses from my previous 11 years of practice combined. I have been left with a renewed excitement about my work and profession. Thanks LJ!

    Diane Murza – Saskatoon, SK, Canada

  • Throughout my career I have taken numerous courses and seen different and powerful approaches. I can truly testify that this course brings it all together, culminating in the treatment and consideration of each person as a whole.

    Denis Bolduc – Sainte-Thérèse, QC, Canada

  • The reminder to look for the driver, not the pain generator was much needed, and your strategies for doing so are very logical and well thought out. I also love the language you use. The way you've explained things to us as a class have helped me to develop my patient communication skills and this has improved patient's understanding and then also compliance.

    Danielle Wilds – Morisette, NSW, Australia

  • I have taken many courses in my career which have all facilitated my growth as a therapist. However, LJ has enabled me to integrate all of my knowledge and skills, connect all of the systems of the body to assess and treat a person as a whole, and provided me with with an infallible assessment algorithm to target my treatment appropriately like never before.

    Rabi Guha – Waterloo, ON, Canada

  • Amazing course and massive change in my way of working.

    Rob White – Wynyard, County Durham, UK

  • It is not often during the career of a physiotherapist that a course or instructor entirely revolutionizes how they treat the body and optimize a patient's movement. Under the direction of LJ's teachings... my career has done exactly that. I have been amazed, as have my patients, at the changes and results...

    Chad Woodard – New York, NY, USA

  • I wasn't prepared for The Series to change my practice as radically as it has.

    Tejal Mistry – Dorking, Surrey, United Kingdom

  • Very difficult to put into words apart from saying it is the best thing I have done in my career without question. Simply a better way of thinking, touching and treating.

    Simon Greene –  Stillorgan, Dublin, Ireland

  • I feel I have a new set of eyes. It's quite exhausting but the changes I've seen have been worth all the effort. I feel I now have a strategy to treat all areas of the body where I felt I was a Physio that just treated runners before.Thanks LJ.

    Sarah Connors – Dorridge, West Midlands, UK

  • LJ is a gifted therapist, inspirational leader and a talented educator. The Thoracic Ring Approach and the Integrated Systems Model have been an amazing learning experience and I would highly recommend it to any therapist wanting to challenge themselves...

    Panda Li – Hong Kong, China

  • What I had not anticipated was the way that LJ's course would profoundly transform how I managed my patients, how I experienced my own body and how, most surprisingly, I lived my life... I highly recommend the journey you will take with LJ - be prepared to be challenged and inspired!

  • I tried NOT to do the part 4, but I just couldn’t stay away!

    Emily Egilitis – Strathalbyn, SA, Australia

  • It was a great course and I've already had great results with the Thoracic Ring Approach - fixing a lot of the stubborn ankle, knees, necks and hands that just didn't seem to want to get better!

    Daniel Yoon – Toronto, ON, Canada

  • The LJ Lee Series enlightened me to what is truly possible with Physical Therapy. The approach has changed my paradigms, improved my outcomes and brought more joy into my practice and life. The Series is a game changer.

    Nadeesha Perera – Jerrabomberra, NSW, Australia

  • Very infrequently throughout a career can an individual take a series that changes so profoundly their conceptual framework of assessment and treatment. The integrated series taught by LJ Lee is that rare blend of art and science that looks at the total person. It has not only changed my clinical practice but my teaching as well.

    Jeff Brousseau – Saskatoon, SK, Canada

  • Very infrequently throughout a career can an individual take a series that changes so profoundly their conceptual framework of assessment and treatment. The integrated series taught by Discover Physio is that rare blend of art and science that looks at the total person. It has not only changed my clinical practice but my teaching as well.

    Jeff Brousseau

  • I loved the idea of the puzzle and the logical system of clinical reasoning, especially tying all the different aspects of the person's problems together. I especially loved the neurophysiological part of your approach - I've been motivated that I can really change things on that level with my patients and also in myself.

    Sue Clapham

  • I just wanted to let you know how awesome the course was from my perspective. It's not often to come away from such an intense study period and feel so inspired to change your ways, work habits etc. You are a true motivator and teacher and surely a life coach to those privileged in having regular contact with
