Its baaaaaacccckkkkkk! After the success of #3 and previous ones we proud to present #4:

​

Dates will be 24 & 25 November. More details posted soon.

 

Are you psychic Craig?
What other explanation could there be for these bootcamps being scheduled year, after year on the one weekend we organise to go away without the kids!

What are the odds? 1 in 7311616.

I desperately want to attend one....should I consult with you in advance for next years bootcamp?

 

Clinical Biomechanics Boot Camp #4​

"Putting the latest research, theory and ideas into clinical practice"​

"Hot new topics"

24 & 25 November

This is a course that goes through the biomechanical assessment; foot orthotic prescription and foot orthotic issue with detours along the way for practical sessions and reviews of whats new to appy to your clinical practice:

Topics:
* More on the role of forces
* Pressure mapping to improve outcomes
* Understanding and applying forefoot biomechanics
* Practical applications of new approaches: Bottom Block Theory; Neoteric Biomechnics
* All the different ways to hold the foot during plaster casting and what it can achieve
* A relook at foam box casting (and practical)
* Using digital video to improve outcomes
* Midfoot arthritis management
* Where are we at we understanding the ankle joint
* Podiatric mythbusting igs:
* Role of proximal influences
* Applying all this to running shoe prescriptions

 

Registration form will be posted in a few days

 

Sign me up. If its half as good as the last one, then it is worth it.

 

Finally ..... :bash: I might get to work out who you are :dizzy:

 

OK Craig, I have been waiting patiently - where is the info???? I have about 5 pods to send along (do we get a bulk discount???)

These Bootcamps have been fantastic in the past & I am eagerly awaiting confirmation of this one so we can book flights!

 

The flyer should be ready tomorrow ... usual story - SMA (adelaide) and UK Society conference both next week to prepare for and those two little blond Arena'ettes take up a lot of time ...so Boot Camp planing a little behind schedule.

 

OK, I do understand how much time it takes playing with 2 beautiful babies.... (Oh, and the work stuff too...)

You are forgiven. Will check in again tomorrow

 

Is it tomorrow yet?

 

I've got the flights booked already. Looks like there might be a race to get the application in. I'll be checking Podiatry Arena every 10 minutes ...

 

igs: Yes it is --- if you noticed the site was really slow this AM and was dropping out from time to time, as the host was having problems --- now its preventing me uploading attachments ---- will try again later (there has to be a law against the hours I am working at the moment) ..... it will be here soon igs:

 

The pigs are flying. The boss has put the flyer for download on the Dept's website:

Thank you Craig, sorry to put you under sooooo much pressure, but we are a little excited, faxed my application and payment through at 7:12 am, you will need to be quick Asher

 

I beat you David, did it about 3.30pm yesterday(WA time) See you there.

 

Bugger ! as long as l dont miss out, thats the down side of starting work at 6.30am :morning: and finishing at 5.00pm, see you there.

 

Yes....I know Howard has called an election for the 24th .... there will be polling booths on campus for everyone to vote.

An hour for Lunch should be enough time to find the polling both and have our say.
Any idea where the polling both is to be located within the Uni ?

 

Oh **** ...forgot about that. Busy with exam marking and PFOLA later in the week, so focus is not on the Boot Camp. Will get the info in time for the day. In the meantime, there is this thread (especially the You Tube video's) to help decide who to vote for.

 

OK ... the Arena'etts are having a nap, so I searched the AEC website for polling booths in postal code 3086 -- there is one in the Institute for Advanced Study, which is on campus...so we will march everyone up there for a vote in one of the breaks.

 

Hi Craig
will you be taking this to Canberra by any chance this year?

 

no plans at this stage ... too much on - the Arena'ettes are one tomorrow; then PFOLA; then Boot Camp; then exam and thesis marking; then I am having December off.

 

Dan - you should have got something by now. I at PFOLA - back at LTU on Tuesday AM; if you heard nothing by then, let me know and I follow up.

 

Craig,

This has to be the most innovative use of smiley's in one short sentence

I'm jealous!!

 

Thought l would take a moment to thank Craig and his team for the super large effort they made for the boot camp #4, especially when you consider Craigs Girls 1st Birthday was on the Saturday also, Thankyou everyone involved.

A mixture of participants from all around this country, New Zealand and even New York!
The 2 days covered a lot of ground, a mixture of lectures and hands on work shops, constantly challenging what you thought you knew as well as exposure to some new technique's, termanologies (SERM?PERM?) and technologies, well for me anyway.

A great opportunity to meet others, Its interesting when two podiatrist talk and one says “When did you come out?” they are referring to graduation not their sexual preference :wacko:

Anyone that didnt make this year, l highly recommend it for next time round.

Craig, you made mention you will have to come up with a new pathology or technique that you could name after yourself or patent just to keep up with the rest, dont panic, you have one that is used world wide by Doctor and client a like its called “Foot Payne”
All the best

P.S Thanks for the Mars bar Asher!

 

Thanks Craig, Simon, Smita and the pract. pod's. Enjoyed the seminar immensely, Mark C
