Here is quick snippet of highlights of this years 2023 Therapists retreat in Goulburn NSW Australia , It was held at IKIGAI SHIFT THERAPIES owned by Andrew Curry.
This state of the art clinic is equipped with an impressive amount of equipment 14 pilates reformers , 3 treatment rooms, 3 state of the art Reaxing 1001 Treadmills, a multidimensional treadmill that has the ability to change surface gradients on all planes, Reax lights with imporove cognitive and reaction training, Neuroflex Platform uses virtual reality to track head and eye movements, also in the Functional training room is the Younix weight station , Flotation tank and Infra red Sauna and so much more that i cant list.

For those not aware about what goes on at our Retreats, its all about widening the scope of therapists to some cutting edge environments and treatment modalities, and first and foremost about giving back to therapists , we run treatment labs in the afternoons, where therapists receive and give treatment based on their background and experience ( NO EGOS ALLOWED).
An opportunity to share tricks of the trade and share treatment knowledge with everyone.
Therapists get to have their conditions , niggles etc treated which rarely happens in a non judgemental environment.

We had 4 great presenters over the retreat,

Marty Fry: Flexability and Mobility for clients, Marty runs a highly successful clinic in Tasmania and over the last couple of years decided to educate himself in the area of flexability and mobility and now runs classes in F& M for his clients and others and is usually booked out WEEKS IN ADVANCE. A massive take is that flexability is not mobility

2 . Jeff Shearer : TCM/ Acupuncturist/ Remedial Massage Therapist, Ethical practice educator.
Jeff shared his incredible journey as a therapist , he`s ethics when it comes to treating clients and his next level ONE NEEDLE APPROACH to treating the client wholistic, mind blowing stuff.

3. Andrew Curry : The Professor blew our mind on the Autonomic Nervous System overview and how he works with sensory input to help the incredible array of clients that visit him at his clinic, any where from Austism, Down Syndrome, PTSD, Degenerative Nervous System disorders, the list goes on , what he has achieved in this clinic is exceptional and needs to be seen.

4. Stuart Hinds ( myself): I present the fundlementals of Self care for therapists, workload ratios, tools of the trade, injuries to therapists, sustainable techniques, mental fatigue, strength and development for therapists, treatment for therapists. To name a few , as we are notoriously poor in looking after ourselves, one of the most important issues that face us as hands on therapists.

5. Sue Edwards: Physiotherapist with over 40 years as a clinician , Sue walked us through foot biomechanics, assessing foot joint dysfunction, mobilisation of the foot and ankle joints and a overview of neural dynamic testing . An absolute wealth of knowledge, something soft tissue therapists have little access to. A highlight of the weekend.

Over the next couple of weeks i will share some video footage of some of our presenters and the facility , there are some real gems in there.
