Physiotherapists!
Are you keen to learn more about the complex hip and pelvis? Would you like the opportunity for a one day workshop, covering theory in biomechanics and also hands on practical work? Or would you like the option for at home learning with online lectures taken at your own pace?
Nichole Hamilton’s enthusiasm for education and background in teaching began in 2007, with her first lectures on the management of hip and pelvic pain with North Sydney Sports Medicine based on her extensive experience alongside her orthopaedic colleague Dr Michael O’Sullivan. This soon developed into her current one day hip workshop for physiotherapists.
In addition to her one day workshop, Nichole has also provided a vast array of online learning options (podcasts, webinars) for physiotherapists with World Health Webinars and also with Clinical Edge. She has also assisted Barbara Hungerford and also LJ Lee on weekend workshops, as well as lecturing at the ASUM annual conference in Brisbane (2016) and the World Yogafest (2017).
Nichole is passionate about inspiring physiotherapy education and believes in an integrated blend of physiotherapy approaches tailored specifically to each patient’s needs can enhance and optimise patient outcomes.
Nichole’s aim is to provide a supportive learning environment with practical assessment and treatment skills that can be used the next day in your clinic. She looks forward to meeting you on her next workshop!
