​

• Audience: Older children or adults with Cerebral Palsy, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis or a Brain Injury.

  • Participants should be able to fully follow verbal instructions for movement, roll from their back to side to front and back again, sit in a seat unsupported and get to and from standing. You do not need to be able to walk.

  • If you do not meet this criteria, consider signing up for our other course, Tear-free therapy, with a support person who will help you do the necessary movements.

​

• What you will learn:

  • Learn about the essential elements of a therapy session and plan which can help you find joy in the process of Physiotherapy.

  • Identify elements that may be affecting your motivation in your current or past Physiotherapy programs.

  • Never sit powerlessly on a waiting list again! Learn the system Physiotherapists go through that you can easily and safely implement without ANY scientific or medical background to conduct a “session” on yourself – from assessing yourself, to deciding how to treat, to seeing if it’s working and determining what to do next.

  • Learn how different tissues of the body can inhibit movement.

  • Learn how to systematically approach and eliminate stiffness without painful stretching!

  • Learn how to increase your strength in 20 minutes or less, without spending weeks on strengthening programmes.

  • Learn how often you should really be doing a home programme, when your programme needs to be reviewed or changed, and what to prioritize if time is tight.

  • Learn the theory at your own pace using pre-recorded material. Pause, rewind, go slower as you need to.

  • Once a week, we will have a live Zoom where you will see the instructor go through a whole session with a child or adult modelling in the clinic to see how it’s done and get a chance to ask clarifying questions.

  • Once a week, the instructor will have a live Q&A on zoom and go through a session with a volunteer from the participants virtually in a group Zoom class to illustrate the steps to therapy and clarify how to adapt the programme to your situation.
