A MESSAGE FROM ROBYN MIDGLEY
Hi there
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a difficult diagnosis to treat, leaving many therapists unaware of how to accurately differentiate between the stiff hand and CRPS and how to treat the patient if they do present with true CRPS. Very often, these patients present late to hand therapists for treatment and present with secondary complications that make the rehabilitation process even more challenging. Having a sound understanding of the complexities of the presentation of CRPS is paramount to applying the correct techniques and achieving a successful outcome. These injuries are best managed in the acute stage following an injury and we need to be able to address problems as they arise. This webinar will enable you to learn new skills which you can implement to take your practice to new heights and achieve better results for your patients.
I am privileged and honoured to have Shrikant Chinchalkar share his expert knowledge and expertise in this subject. Shrikant’s teaching is truly life changing for therapists and patients and his knowledge greatly assists them to make the right decisions for their patients and achieve results. He recently received a lifetime achievement award in recognition and gratitude for his many contributions to the field of Hand Therapy.
I am also excited to announce a project that I have been working on -The 40 CE Challenge. this is an opportunity for you to earn your CE's in a dynamic way so that you can gain skill and expertise to enhance your practice and make a difference in patients lives.
I really encourage you to attend this event and look forward to sharing this experience with you.
See you there,
Robyn Midgley
