September Webinar
Course Name: An Integrated Framework to Improve Patient Outcomes with Paul Turner
Date: Wednesday 24th September 2025 at 7:30pm AEST
Relevance: All Members.
Description: Paul introduces his research on an integrated model of health care which bridges the gap between holistic concept and its practical implementation as well as between traditional biomedical and holistic multidimensional approaches to healthcare. He will discuss how to recognise areas of primary imbalance within the whole person most contributing to a person’s health issues and thus give an understanding of how to recognise underlying relationship imbalances setting the stage for health issues (or otherwise slowing recovery). This approach is especially relevant in the understanding and management of patients suffering complicated and chronic health issues.
Outcomes.
- Learn how holistic and traditional biomedical approaches can work together to enhance outcomes in clients.
- Reinforce the benefits of performing both a general-holistic and regional-local assessment and how each can uncover clues that may help differentiate between areas and tissue components needing more attention during treatment (primary areas/ tissues) versus adaptive (compensatory/secondary) areas/tissues (i.e. effects).
- Review the inter-relationship between three important elements that may influence assessment, clinical reasoning and management of a client presenting with an issue (i.e. linking 1. patient Wants/Expectations with, 2. Tissue Needs (based upon your actual findings) and 3. Your background educational knowledge/research.
The overall goal is to present an integrative model of health care that may help participants understand and manage clients more effectively.

OCTOBER WEBINAR
Course Name: The Shoulder Rehab Blueprint for Pain-Free Overhead Positions with Luke Troiani
Date: Wednesday 22nd October starting at 7:30pm AEDT
Relevance: All Members.
Description: This two-part program explores the often-overlooked mechanics behind shoulder dysfunction in overhead pressing. Rather than viewing impingement and bursitis as isolated conditions, we’ll examine how faulty ribcage positioning, limited shoulder flexion, poor scapular mechanics, and compensatory movement patterns across the kinetic chain contribute to pain and restriction.
The initial webinar will provide the theoretical foundation, unpacking the evidence and clinical reasoning that link rib positioning, scapular rhythm, and neuromuscular control to overhead function. This session will give attendees a clear framework for understanding why traditional treatments often fall short and how a more integrated approach creates lasting change.
At this year’s MAA Conference in Parramatta (October 25-26), the in-person seminar will expand on this knowledge through hands-on practical application. Attendees will practice assessment strategies, manual therapy techniques, and corrective exercises, including breathing drills and functional strength progressions, ensuring they leave with both the insight and the skills to restore pain-free overhead positions in their patients and clients.
This webinar will be live on Zoom Wednesday 22nd of October at 7:30pm AEDT.

Private health insurance audits
This module has been created to take the fear out of private health insurance audits.

Online and in your own time, you will learn about:
- the two types of private health insurance audits you might be subject to and why
- what the audit process involves, and
- the possible outcomes of an audit.
Most importantly, you will learn the practices you can put in place to ensure you comply with private health insurance regulations.
This course will leave you confident, compliant, and free to focus on what you do best – help your patients feel better.
The module is delivered through ARHG’s online training platform, QualiPHI. For more information and to register, visit the QualiPHI website.
*ARHG is the facilitator of the ARHG recognised provider listing; a list of alternative therapy providers that meet a set of accreditation standards. The database is used by 32 private health funds to determine if claims for alternative therapy services can be paid.
