Physio First Conference - A Great Success!

We had a great show this weekend at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham. We were at the Physio First Conference to talk to Physios for the first time en mass about our Biomechanics Screening courses and their application to the clinical field. The interest was very positive and we are looking to set up many courses for Physios and other Therapists in the near future.

As many of your will be aware, one of our partner products is called the Flexi-bar . This is a flexible bar that provides the user with a very effective way of stabilising the shoulder and spine particularly. Its quite new to the physio worlds and went down a storm. As soon as they saw the product in action the biomechanical and clinical benefits were obvious. In fact they were suggesting applications to us!

Also this weekend we had a Normalise Course in Bristol which was run by Ros and Rachel, which went down really well. We had 2 Podiatrists, 4 athletics coaches and 8 personal trainers on the course. One of the great things about the courses that we are told by participants is the variety of backgrounds that people have who attend the courses. This then leads into some great discussions about the application of the biomechanics content that we deliver. One area of interest is usually the conversations around the application of orthotics to the sporting arena and how they can be so helpful and yet sometimes can cause all sorts of problems. When podiatrists sit the courses they start to have a better understanding of the big picture and how the pelvic biomechanics can influence the prescription of orthotics and how undertaking the full biomechanical picture can help orthotic prescription and reduce the risk of the athlete or gym-goer reacting negatively to them.
