Neurodynamics is a new science. This course offers a fresh understanding and management strategies for common syndromes such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, nerve root disorders, carpal tunnel syndromes and spinal pain.

Instructor:

Umer Sheikh is a Chartered Physiotherapist who graduated from University of The Punjab in 2004.  His early career was spent at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital (GTTH) in Lahore. During this time, he built up a range of experience and he soon realised that his passion lay in Neuromusculoskeletal Physiotherapy.  He moved to Belgium and Ireland for Masters in Adapted Physical Activity which is a Master’s programme that combines the expertise of a number of universities throughout the EU and the world, and offers comprehensive training and expert knowledge.

Ultimately, his desire to challenge himself further, and refine both his clinical reasoning and manual skills, culminated in him successfully completing the MSc in Advancing Physiotherapy (Musculoskeletal) at the Sheffield Hallam University in 2010. He was also awarded the International Prize for academic achievement by Sheffield Hallam University, United Kingdom and the Top most student award from European commission, Brussels, Belgium.

Since that time he has worked in NHS and delivered teaching sessions to a range of post-graduate physiotherapists on clinical reasoning and Grade V spinal manipulation techniques every year since 2010.

His course has evolved from his MSc experience, his MSc clinical tutoring experiences and these teaching sessions. The aim of the course is to make learning simple and the techniques learnt, clinically effective.  There is a strong focus on not simply giving people a range of techniques, but providing the time to practice and develop the reasoning skills to ensure that the participants are able to apply the techniques confidently and effectively.
