Women's Health
Pelvic pain and female sexual dysfunction
physiotherapy approach 4-day course puts the focus on referred and chronic pelvic pain and female sexual dysfunction. The course includes a distance learning portion that allows students to learn the scientific basics of sexology and pain physiology independently, with the support of the teaching team. The course also includes a lecture with Professor Ghelardini on gender differences in pain perception.
Evaluation and rehabilitative treatment of urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse
In the context of rehabilitation and women's health, the physiotherapeutic approach to pelvic floor dysfunction takes on a major role. In fact, it is estimated that 1 in 3 women will suffer from urinary incontinence and 1 in 12 from uterine prolapse during their lifetime. This in-depth course on the topic consists of two 3-day in-person modules and 8 hours of distance learning.
These two courses are part of the pathway to CAS Rehabilitation and Women's Health.
Neurorehabilitation
The mat and ball in the treatment of the neurological patient
A two-day theoretical-practical course proposing the acquisition of techniques for therapeutic mat and Bobath ball activities for the patient with acquired brain injury in order to increase coordination skills and postural control in various postures. The course includes an applied clinical part at the Hildebrand Clinic in Brissago where it will be possible to witness the treatment of a patient by the teaching team, and increase motor control analysis and clinical reasoning skills.
The course is part of the pathway for obtaining the SAS Neurorehabilitation: postural control in central neurolesions
Mental suffering in developmental age
Adolescents and mental health: the clinical challenge for the physical therapist
This 2-day course will enable the physical therapist to learn more about the challenges related to developmental mental health, recognize the most common clinical pictures (eating disorders, functional movement disorder, anxiety disorder), and know how to put in place an advanced clinical reasoning process in favor of structuring a biopsychosocial intervention that is based on the patient's resources and referral network.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy
Evaluation and advanced treatment of radiculopathies and peripheral nerve dysfunction (NOI Group)
In this seminar, serving the latest scientific findings on pain, a clinical understanding of the physical health status of the entire neuro-immune system is provided. The molecular and on the "homunculus" effects of our therapy are considered and emphasized. This knowledge is integrated using the most advanced assessment and treatment options in manual therapy and neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy, in a clinical reasoning context where the modalities of assessment and treatment plan development using the best of "evidence based practice" are used.
Graded Motor Imagery Course
Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) is an evidence-based rehabilitation program targeting brain activities, which through progressive and programmed exposure to specific therapeutic activities, works on the virtual body located in the brain.
