KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

MIKE ANTONIADES How hard can running be? Left, right, left, right – now do it quicker. That’s it, right? Wrong. Not only could any of us be taught to run more efficiently, but someone with Mike’s level of expertise can help top-level athletes to rehabilitate after injury.

Mike is the Performance and Rehabilitation Director of The Running School. He has been a coach and rehabilitation specialist for 30 years and has worked in the UK, Europe and the USA. He has worked with a number of professional athletes and clubs from different sports including soccer, rugby, basketball, tennis and track & field. He is a qualified UEFA Licensed Coach, Speed Coach, Strength & Conditioning Coach and Rehabilitation Specialist.

Mike runs movement re-education workshops and seminars in Europe and the USA, on Rehabilitation after injury, Speed and Power Development, and

Long Term Development of Young Athletes. He has developed a number of performance and Rehabilitation protocols which are used in physiotherapy practices and professional sports clubs. Mike is also a guest lecturer on Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation at two universities.

Mike set up the Running School programme after years of working with elite and professional athletes and changing their biomechanics after injury to make them more efficient. He found that the techniques were easily adapted to teaching children and adults how to run efficiently and effectively.

Movement & Running Re-Education Most people believe that running is something that we pick up naturally. But when the pain begins, and after injury we realise that we are actually walking and running inefficiently which can lead to more injuries. Movement and running re-education after injury or surgery is vital for rehabilitation. Most of us have never been taught how to run and after injury we need to regain correct movement. The Running School has developed a movement re-education methodology which helps individuals regain movement, walking and running efficiency after injury or surgery. If correctly coached and practiced, the skill will become more efficient and enjoyable and lead to improved speed.

JAMES BARR The way that people consume media is evolving with every new technology, leading to a staggering amount of choice for consumers and providers alike.

The Hard to Reach Consumer The media landscape is changing.

The print trees are parting to allow the digital river to flow. But it’s not just the landscape; it’s the people that live there that are also evolving. Consumers are no longer being told how they must absorb media; they are choosing how they want to consume and that provides businesses with a new challenge. How do you keep up with changing consumer needs, wants and behaviour?

DR NICK WISE DC Because nobody has the time to meet everybody at the show – try as you might - read on to find out how you could generate hundreds of extra complimentary healthcare connections in one easy step.

The Point of Light and the Resonance of Sound: why your protocols should include them both Dr Wise will show how using single diode low-level laser light on the cranium can speed up your results, and increase your referrals. He will explain how an acute injury, whether it’s to soft tissue, the spine or another joint, causes an immediate change in the information stored at the location of its cranial reflex. Shining light resets the cranial reflex leading to immediate reduction in pain and a speeding up of the healing process. He will also demonstrate his emotional release points, showing how men and women respond to light on different areas of the brain.

MASTERCLASS THEATRE HALL 4 Thursday 12.00 - 12.30

Nick took over his father’s practice in South Carolina in 2007. After experimenting with low-level laser light on points he discovered in a textbook on kinesiology, Dr Wise devised his unique system called Cranial Laser Reflex Technique (CLRT). This system has been expanded into the therapy that he now teaches throughout Europe and the US. He also lectures extensively at international Laser Conferences. He is particularly in demand for his creative and lively presentational style, whilst also demonstrating the range of his skills as a practitioner.

His grasp of quantum physics is profound, as is his ability to teach it to others. Not stopping at light, he now integrates sound frequency into his toolbox, having invented a simple and inexpensive way to deliver sound frequencies via a smart phone or laptop.

PROFESSOR FRANCIS SMITH There are many benefits an upright MRI scan has over supine and this is your chance to join Professor Francis W. Smith as he demonstrates them live.

Professor Francis W. Smith M.D, FFRRCSI, FRCR, FRSC(Ed), FRCP(Ed), FFSEM (UK) is a Consultant Radiologist and also holds a personal chair in Health & Sports Science at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. As a radiologist, he has worked with MRI since 1980, pioneering its use in clinical practice, especially for the spine and major joints.

During the past 12 years, Francis has worked to develop its use for imaging the body in the upright, weight-bearing position, demonstrating its value for the evaluation of the spine and weight-bearing joints. He has written over 250 scientific papers and is a reviewer for both The Spine Journal and the European Spine Journal.

Francis was the inaugural President of the Society of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and is a Gold medal recipient of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. He has also been honoured by the British Institute of Radiology, having been awarded the Barclay medal in 1999 and was appointed the Sir Godfrey Hounsfield Memorial lecturer in 2009.

THE GREAT WALL Because nobody has the time to meet everybody at the show – try as you might - read on to find out how you could generate hundreds of extra complimentary healthcare connections in one easy step.

All too often, your business cards end up tucked away within the dark recesses of someone’s wallet or back pocket, never to see the light of day again – until it’s recycling day. That won’t do much for your practice. 21st century advances have seen developments like Twitter and Facebook enabling us to make new contacts like never before, but there’s still no competition to the good old business card!

The Great Wall.

Putting people in touch, literally.

As a solution to this age-old problem, we’ve built an enormous wall that will ensure your card will reach the people you want to make contact with.

THE IDEA IS SIMPLE: 1 2 3

Jot down what your practice is looking for – online marketing, new therapy equipment or virtual receptionist etc.

Pin it to the Great Wall, along with your business card.

Come back at the end of the day to collect all the relevant business cards pinned to your own.

That’s it! Now you have contact details for the people and companies who can help provide whatever it is that your practice is looking for.

Of course, the system works in the other direction too, so if you see a practice that would benefit from your services, pin your card to theirs and get in touch today!

GROW YOUR PRACTICE ONLINE

Every practice could benefit from an online presence to boost their business.

It almost goes without saying that in the 21st century, you need to be online to be in business, but how do you do it well? Start out by following these three simple steps.

and fairly deal with any complaints or public criticism that is made about your practice. Never criticise customers - even the unruly ones!

Setting up and running your private practice can be a lonely business. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a place where you could share practical business advice and resources with other therapists? Now there is - the Private Practice Hub.

1. Get a good website Every business needs a well laid-out and stylish website.

The Yellow Pages recently went into receivership for a reason: your customers will search online for healthcare services.

Engage a professional web designer if possible, or use a DIY service such as WordPress.

Give key contact information, detail the services you offer, make it visually engaging and use phrases that will help you to be found in web searches.

2. Get social Complementary Healthcare thrives on endorsement and testimony. Use social media to re-tweet and Facebook good feedback from customers, to answer questions about your services and to very positively

THE BUSINESS OF THERAPY

3. Get a video Video improves your Google hits, because Google ‘rates content’. Visitors no longer want to read pages of text, which is why YouTube is the world’s second-largest search engine as users choose to get answers as video.

The way we access the web is changing too, reading on the small screen of a smartphone or tablet is ineffective; increasingly people want to view websites rather than read them.

Don’t be tempted by poor quality video. It represents your business and when it comes to healthcare, no customer wants to take a gamble on an unprofessional looking business. The cheapest video production service on the web is QuickFilms.co.uk, offering set price packages that make professional video affordable for every business.

This brand new online resource is gaining a reputation as the best place for therapists to get help setting up and running their private practice. There are hundreds of articles covering finance, software, marketing, admin, HR and professional issues, plus free resources such as business plans and financial templates. Therapists can also discuss business issues and concerns on the Private Practice Blog, which is regularly updated with the latest advice.

The site founder, Geoff Simons, has worked with a busy private

practice for several years. He has a particular interest in software and technology, and how it can help private practitioners run their business smoothly without tying themselves up in knots.

The Private Practice Hub is constantly on the lookout for user-friendly technology and they’ve managed to get hold of some brand new software, CPD Click, designed specifically for therapists. CPD Click helps you find, filter and record the CPD courses that are important for you - no more sifting through emails until you find something of interest.

And the best bit?

The Private Practice Hub is totally free - and always will be!

While stamina-based activity is particularly important for health benefits, you also need to include some strength and flexibility-based activity to get the best health gains. stamina-type Walking, swimming, cycling, dancing, tennis and tamina-type activities: housework (washing floors or windows) strength-type Walking uphill, carrying shopping, climbing stairs, trength-type activities: gardening (digging or mowing) and housework flexibility-type lexibility-type activities: Dancing, yoga, Pilates, T’ai Chi and gardening

frequency Your main aim is to build up to 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity on 5 or more days of the week. If this seems too much to start with, try starting with 3 x 10 minute walks spread throughout the day and work towards 2 x 15 minute walks and then 30 continuous minutes. One goal is to try and increase your activity by 2 minutes each day. intensity

Moderate intensity means breathing harder and getting warmer than normal. It does not need to be hard and it shouldn’t cause you pain.

You should be able to talk and be active at the same time.

advice

Whatever your chosen activity, it should be performed at a gentle intensity which gradually increases until after about 10 minutes you have reached the level you can maintain for your chosen period of activity. This gets the blood flowing to your muscles and allows your heart rate to increase gradually. When you are nearing the end of your activity you should also slowly decrease the level of activity over 5-10 minutes to allow your heart rate to slow down gradually.

tips ips on increasing your activity level ■ Walking is an ideal activity as it’s free and easy to do anywhere. Perhaps take

a dog for a walk to make it more interesting or use a pedometer to count your steps.
