MOVING WELL: STABILITY IN CONTEXT - A not-to-be-missed-opportunity

The ACSTT is proud to present Joanne Elphinston, one of the most outstanding presenters I have seen in this once-off, one day workshop. Participants will soon learn that they are in the company of an exceptional professional who presents her unique view of movement analysis in a dynamic, focused and crystal clear context which is highly clinically relevant.

 This workshop is an introduction to functional movement evaluation as a foundation for injury prevention and performance programmes. It examines stability not as the discrete concept it has widely become, but instead considers it as the result of multiple interrelated factors which can be dissected for analysis and problem solving. Its focus is evaluation, in order to identify the combination of individual strategies leading to control or force production faults. This leads us away from generic programmes and into focused progressive plans.

 Largely practical in nature, the workshop will apply the concepts throughout to a range of sports.

Joanne was, by far, the STAND OUT  presenter at the SPORTEX / BASRAT / SMA which I attended and presented at, in the UK in 2007. 

This is a rare opportunity. Don't let it slip through your fingers through non action

COURSE PRESENTER: Joanne Elphinston.

Joanne Elphinston is an Australian performance consultant, international lecturer, physiotherapist, and author based in the UKA recognised lecturer and consultant on technical movement enhancement for performance, injury prevention and rehabilitation, Joanne works with elite athletes in a wide range of sports, as well as professional dancers and musicians. Drawing from backgrounds in applied biomechanics and motor control, philosophy and psychology, Joanne addresses movement from a multimodal and holistic perspective.

 A former coach herself, Joanne has one foot planted in the medical and the other in the training aspect of athlete management and development. This gives her a unique understanding of the challenges in sport from both perspectives, and an ability to build bridges between the two areas in her teaching, writing and consultancy.

Joanne’s detailed approach to movement has led her to work for the past eight years with professional contemporary dancers on dancer development, physical preparation and performance enhancement. Other performing arts clients include musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the Welsh National Opera.

 Joanne has a rigorous conference and workshop lecturing schedule in the UK and internationally, on subjects ranging from rehabilitation, profiling and performance enhancement to child development for sport, and physical preparation for technique acquisition in sports and the performing arts. She has been a lecturer for the University of Wales MSc in Sports Medicine as well as the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and is a tutor for London Contemporary Dance School. Along with a regular lecturing schedule in Sweden, Joanne has written two bestselling books for the Swedish Sports Federation.
