Possibly not what you think. There are times in your life when meeting an individual can have a career or life shifting impact. Meeting Jo Millios or Prostate Jo was such a moment. Jo works full time in Men's Heath in Perth Western Australia. Jo sees a lot of men post prostatectomy who have urinary problems, erectile dysfunction and Pelvic pain. Gerard has also been fortunate to meet and get to know Dr Ruth Jones who is one of the leading International Men's Health researchers, tutors amd clinicians. Ruth and Bill Taylor are running a Men's Health Physio course in Southampton in November that Gerard will be attending with a view to setting up a Men's health Physio service at Barefoot in Birmingham.
Saturday 8th June 2024
This introductory course with focus on TMJ assessment, treatment and management. All the course theory will be sent to you approx. 3 weeks before the course date and you will be able to study this in your own time (Equivalent to day 1 of the course).
In both our London and Birmingham physiotherapy clinics we have found it very difficult ( near impossible ) to find a physiotherapist to come and work with us to see our patients who has TMJ expertise and experience. We have also found it very difficult to find clinicians to refer patients to. It also hasn't been easy to find a hands on face to face course for our Physios to attend and train up on. Gerard has known Evalgelos for many years from his time studying and working in Birmingham university. Evalgelos like many of the expert tutors who Gerard works with is also a #tutorwhotreats as he sees TMJ patients every day in clinic and he has a strong academic and research background and is experienced in teaching on TMJ dysfunction.
This course is aimed at physiotherapists and in particular musculoskeletal, sports and pelvic health physios who want to learn more about TMJ dysfunction; sports therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors and dentists.
