Renowned Australian experts and specialists in the fields of physiotherapy and sports medicine will soon be in Sri Lanka to share their expertise and introduce the latest techniques available in Australia.
This is a unique opportunity for local professionals as it is the first time such a large group of experts in these fields will be present in Sri Lanka.
The International Placewell Consultants (IPC) is hosting the inaugural Australian Sports Physiotherapy Programme in Sri Lanka, in partnership with the Elite Akademy Sports Medicine based at the University of Melbourne.
Supported by the Australian Trade Commission together with the Victorian Government and La Trobe University, Melbourne, this event is scheduled to take place from September 20 to 22, 2019.
It will include a half-day seminar as well as an intensive two-day course complete with clinical practice sessions and an introduction to and training in the latest Australian techniques.
The seminar will focus on the management of sports injuries, the developments in sports physiotherapy assessment, treatment, analysis, rehabilitation principles and research from Australia. The course will also cover clinical reasoning, clinical handling and communication in sports injuries, objective testing, and data using technology and recovery strategies to name some areas.
A highlight of the programme will be an expert panel discussion featuring prominent sports scientists and specialists in physiotherapy and sports technology from Australia, which will take place during the seminar.
The course will be conducted by Kusal Goonewardena (Sports Physiotherapist and Head of Sports Medicine - Elite Akademy Sports Medicine, Melbourne) and Dr. Henry Wajswelner (Specialist Sports Physiotherapist and Head of the Master of Sports Physiotherapy - La Trobe University).
The expert panel will also include Steve Sandor (Senior Sports Physiotherapist and Director - Restore Movement Physiotherapy), Heath Matthews (Head of Sports Science and Medicine, Sir H.N.

Kusal Goonewardena, one of the key facilitators said: “It has been so exciting to bring this seminar and course to Sri Lanka. There is such a hunger for this content. Sri Lankan therapists are very talented, knowledgeable and this Australian know-how can take them to another level. Sri Lanka could become the ‘Singapore’ of the sports medicine community in South Asia. This is a unique educational opportunity for participants to invest in their career development and future prospects.”
